Rodents carry disease, damage property, and wreak havoc in any home they infest. When it comes to rodent control, the best thing you can do to protect your home is prioritize prevention tips.
Below is a list of some of the most important rodent prevention measures to take.
- Don’t leave out junk. A cluttered yard can draw in rodents seeking shelter and nest-building materials. Cardboard boxes, discarded furniture, and any other junk can become a rodent’s new home before they migrate into your home. If you want to prevent rodents from entering your space, limit their access to nesting spots by keeping your yard clean.
- Seal up cracks and gaps. Gaps, cracks, and other openings around your home may not seem significant to you, but depending on their size, they may be the perfect size for small rodents to squeeze through. Sealing these entry points is one of the best rodent control measures you can take. After all, they can’t infest your home if they don’t have a way to get into it.
- Clean up food messes. Rodents have powerful senses of smell, and if they find a small opening into your home, they will want to stay if they get strong food smells. Keep all food tightly stored and make sure to clean up any food-related messes, no matter how small, as even crumbs can attract pests.
