Rat Prevention

• The key to reducing rat and mice infestations is to limit their access to both food and shelter within your home and garden.
• Keep your counters clear of food and crumbs.
• Store food in air-tight containers within your pantry.
• Store dry dog food, bird seed and other pet foods in air-tight containers.
• Vacuum regularly (especially under cupboards and refrigerators) to remove crumbs.
• Wipe down benches, sinks & close toilet lids to limit access to water.
• Keep storage areas free of clutter and avoid stacking things on the ground.
• Keep your garden well maintained, lawns regularly mowed and prune any branches that are in contact with the roof or walls of your house.
• Remove any piles of rocks, wood or other debris that may serve as a shelter.
• Pest Response Trying to eliminate rodents from your home can be quite difficult.
• Traps have limited success, must continually be reset & you are stuck with disposing of the bodies of any you may catch.
• Baits and poisons may harm household pets or put young children at risk.
• The best option is to call in the professionals, who will locate hidden nests and provide you with safe and effective treatment options.
