Top Rat Prevention Tips: How To Keep Your Home Rodent-Free

Once the rodents are gone, how do you keep them from getting into your home again? Let's consider rat prevention, as the tips we use to control rats will also work for squirrels and mice. Rats are great climbers who run along branches and power lines like squirrels. Rats live in tree cavities and will chew holes to get into a home, just like mice. Here are some simple-to-understand tips that can keep all of these animals out:

• Expanding foam injected into gaps, holes, and cavities in your exterior walls will remove an attractant that can make curious rodents gnaw and scrape to get inside.
• Applying rodent guards on pipes, wires, and tree trunks can stop rodents from getting to your roof and finding a way inside.
• Skirting under a shed will discourage rodents from nesting or hiding on your property. Skirting can also keep rodents out from underneath your back deck or stairs.
• Removing ground clutter near your home and in your yard can discourage rats and mice as they use clutter to navigate.
• Cleaning trash receptacles and keeping trash in covered containers removes smells that attract rodents. Rats and mice have an acute sense of smell and gravitate to any food smell, especially decaying food.

In most cases, steps like these will keep rodents from gaining access to your home. If rodent pressures increase, it is sometimes necessary to use bait stations to reduce populations.
