How do I rodent proof my house?
Trim back all branches from trees, and bushes near your home.
Keep the rats out of your home by following some common Rodent Control practices in your Southen California home or business. Rodent Season never let up this year and here we are back in the Fall months with Winter soon to follow bringing with it even more RATS!
First, and foremost, if you suspect that you have a rodent infestation on your property calling a professional is recommended when dealing with rodents. Rats and mice can carry various diseases, that can be harmful to humans, not a risk you’ll want to take. Calling your local Riverside and San Diego Pest Control Company for a Rodent Inspection is the best place to start.
When looking to “Rodent Proof” your home or business checking all access points is crucial. A rodent infestation starts off by them gaining some type of access into a structure. Rats can fit into extremely tight quarters. Literally, they can fit into a crack or hole as small as a quarter, and sometimes even smaller!
Common Access Points for Rodents:
Cover any open insulation that rodents can use for nesting, especially in the attic.
Caulk all holes around pipes.
Check and seal any gaps around doors, and windows.
Repair any torn screens.
Keep the front and garage door shut as much as possible.
Repair all cracks in foundation, and walls.
Trim back all branches touching the roof or close to.
Cut all vines against structure, trim back bushes.
Cap off chimney.
Checking and proofing all these access points you are not only preventing against rodents but many other common pests as well.
