Fortunately, there are a
number of choices for getting rid of a rodent infestation. Let’s go over a few pest management moves.
- Install door sweeps
on exterior doors and replaces any screens that are broken. - Chimney openings and
screen vents - Caulk, steel wool, or
a mixture of both may be used to seal gaps and holes on the exterior of the
building, even places where utilities and pipes join the house. - Food should be stored
in airtight containers, and trash should be disposed of daily. - Maintain good
ventilation and dryness in attics, basements, and crawl spaces. - Replace some loose
mortar or weather stripping around the foundations and windows of the basement. - Remove any traces of
moisture, such as leaking pipes and clogged drains, which serve as ideal
breeding grounds for the pest. - Inspect items carried
into the house, such as bottles, shopping bags, and other packages. - Keep shrubbery
clipped and cut back from the house and store firewood at least 20 feet apart. - If you suspect a
rodent infestation in your house, have it inspected and treated by a certified
rodent control expert.
