Any Advice For Keeping Mice And Rats Out?

Rodents can be very determined to get into a home or other structure. Deterring them isn’t easy, but it’s worth the effort. Rodents commonly seek shelter when cold weather hits, but they can be a problem any time of year. These pests require only a small opening to get in. Mice can squeeze through an opening as small as a dime. Rats require an opening about the size of a quarter. We have many suggestions to keep rodents (and many other pests) out:

• Inspect your house’s exterior. Keep an eye out for any tiny opening in your home’s exterior. Remember what small openings pests require, and seal them accordingly.
• Check the foundation as well. If needed, make repairs.
• Check for gaps around pipes and vents. Dryer vents are a notorious entryway for mice, so make sure yours is rodent-proof.

Avoid Attracting Pests With These Tips:

It takes very little to attract rodents and insect pests. We have some basic advice to make your home and yard less likely to draw them:

• Any kind of uncovered food – including food in pet dishes – may attract rodents and insects. Never leave it out. When your pet is finished eating, take the food away until the next meal.
• Good housekeeping alone is not always enough. Even the most immaculate home can suffer from mice or other pests, but it’s still an important step.
• Don’t forget what a delight your trash – inside and outside the house – is a delight to rodents and insects! Tightly cover your trash cans and use containers rodents cannot gnaw through.
• Store all pet foods appropriately in tightly covered, rodent-proof containers.
• Do you have fruit or nut trees? Fallen fruits and nuts are a treat to pests. Clean the area under trees consistently during harvest season.
• Make an inspection of your garage for any kind of item potentially attractive to pests. This includes items such as grass seed and flower bulbs. Again, place such items in appropriate containers that pests can’t access. This step is especially important if your garage is attached to your house.

What Makes Rodents So Harmful?

Throughout history, people have dreaded finding rodents out of their homes. They are dangerous to your home and your health. Rodents’ teeth never stop growing, so they must gnaw constantly to wear them down. As far as rodents are concerned, your wiring, drywall and other parts of your home are perfect for gnawing. Of course, the serious health hazards of rodents is an even more important reason to get them out and to keep them out.

Termites can cause devastating damage to a home or building. Have you had a termite inspection recently?
