The Most Effective Rodent Control Methods

We can find Rats in every part of the world. Do you know that rats can burn down your home? Rats are often caused fires at homes, buildings, and Warehouses by gnawing through plastic electrical junction boxes. Rodents also pose severe health risks as they live in unsanitary places and are carriers of severe diseases to humans from their droppings and incontinence. 

 

So here are the few steps you can take to reduce a rodent problem:

 

First, seal all the cracks of your home as Rodents can easily squeeze through from small spaces, so look around door windows and any place anything enters the building like plumbing, electrical wires, phone, cable, or gas pipes.

 

Cut down the tree branches near the roof to prevent rodents from entering at home.

 

Rodents like clutter as it is a tranquil place to live and an ideal hiding place for them. So Seal the clutter places in your homes like the Basement, closets, storage rooms, and garage doors.

 

• Keep all your food in air-tight containers that rodents cannot easily access.
• Make your Home Rodent proof by not providing them a food source.
• Use a trashcan with a lid and throughout the thrash frequently rather than letting it for a long time.
• Don't store boxes of food on the floor and keep everything on shelves or in a cabinet.
• Wipe out the crumbs on your floors and countertop daily.
• Clean all spills of juice and oatmeal on your floors; don't let them for a long time. Clean your kitchen regularly to remove traces of food.
• Please don't leave your pet food on the floor after eating; keep it in a glass or plastic container with a tight lid.
• Remove all Nuts and berries that have dropped from the trees in your yard. Gather these up and compost or discard them
• The firewood piles can be a safe place for rodents and other pests, so store firewood at least 20 feet away from your home.
• Some substance keeps away Rodent like Mint plants, Sprinkle peppermint, Bay leaves, and Mothballs.

 

The best way to prevent Rodents is to refuse them access to food, water, and shelter in your home. These tips will help you in keeping Rodents out of your home.
