rodent prevention tipsImplementing effective rodent prevention tips is crucial for safeguarding your home against unwanted critters. By addressing gaps, cracks, and holes, we provide essential guidance to homeowners seeking to fortify their defenses against rodent infestations. These valuable tips serve as a barrier, ensuring that rodents have no entry into your home.

 

Rodent Prevention Tips

  • Start Outside the House: Check outside for gaps, cracks, and holes that allow entry for mice. Remember, the furry critter can fit through pencil-width gaps, meaning all entry points should be sealed. Look around windows, the foundation, crawl space vents, and holes for plumbing. Caulk can be a great tool in sealing smaller cracks. Spray foam is another option.
  • Seal Entry Points Inside the House: Look for holes, gaps, and cracks in floor areas of the closet, around the fireplace, inside and behind kitchen cabinets, near pipes, vents, and inside the attics. Lath metal works great to seal gaps near pipes.
  • Food and Water Sources: Keep food sealed in airtight containers. Clean up spills after they happen. Even the tiniest morsels attract rodents. Put pet food away after use overnight.
  • Clean up the Exterior: Garbage compiling around your house can attract rodents. Pick it up and keep it clean. Always use thick plastic trash containers sealed with an airtight lid. If you compost, keep bins 100 feet away from the house.

Sealing up entry points to your home is the first of several steps in keeping rodents away from your home.
