Several of us have faced some kind of rodent infestation at some point in time in our life. As you might be aware, rodents are often attracted to compact nesting area near an abundant supply of food. As a leading rodent control service provider in Orlando, we see that most of the times, rodent infestations are seen in kitchens or pantries. However, we can also find some garages, basements, or attics that have been affected. So, how can you rodent-proof your home? See below:
Sealing:
We would advise you to make sure that you have sealed all the cracks and/or holes in and around your home. In this process, we would advise you to make use of a good hole-filler that cannot be chewed through by the rodents. And remember, a gap of any size can transform into a potential doorway for the rodents to enter in.
Foundation:
Most often, the rodents would make an entry into the home through foundations. Therefore, we would recommend you to check your home’s foundations, as well as windows for any loose mortar or weather stripping.
Plumbing:
Be sure to check and clean up the areas where the moisture can gather up. These could be the regions where there are some leaking pipes and/or drains that are getting clogged often.
Food Storage:
How you store your food is important when it comes to rodent-proofing. Always you need to store food in air-tight, rodent proof jars and containers. Remember, the rodents are easily attracted by the food smell. Therefore, it’s good to take precautionary steps before the rodents get in.
Sanitation:
Keeping your home clean both inside and outside is really important to keep the rodents at bay. Make sure you keep all the places clean and clutter free.
