- Seal Entry Points: Inspect your premises thoroughly for any gaps or holes in walls, floors, and foundations. Rodents can squeeze through very small openings, so seal these with caulk, steel wool, or other appropriate materials.
- Proper Storage: Store food, including pet food, in sealed, airtight containers made of metal or thick plastic. Avoid leaving food out in the open, including crumbs or spills.
- Garbage Management: Keep garbage in tightly sealed bins and dispose of it regularly. Rodents are attracted to food waste.
- Cleanliness: Maintain cleanliness inside and outside your premises. Remove clutter and debris where rodents can hide.
- Landscaping: Keep vegetation trimmed away from buildings and remove any overgrown areas where rodents can nest.
- Proper Drainage: Ensure good drainage to prevent water buildup around your premises, which can attract rodents looking for water sources.
- Rodent-Proofing: Consider installing rodent-proof mesh or screens over vents and openings such as chimneys.
- Monitoring: Regularly inspect your premises for signs of rodents such as droppings, gnaw marks, or nests.
- Natural Deterrents: Some natural deterrents like peppermint oil or certain plants (e.g., mint, lavender) are believed to repel rodents.
- Professional Help: If you have a persistent rodent problem, consider hiring a professional pest control service to assess the situation and recommend effective treatments.
