Defending Your Home: Expert Rodent Control Methods

Realising that you have unwanted visitors in the form of rats and mice is definitely disturbing, particularly if you are unsure of how to get rid of them. Not only do they pose a health risk, but they also leave your home vulnerable to damage.

This is where rodent control methods come in!

Here at Carpets & Critters, we offer pest management services, including rodent and ant control. Join us as we discuss the most effective rodent control methods and how you can defend your home against those gnawing trespassers.

Inspect Walls and Foundation

A crack in your walls or foundation is always a cause for concern, particularly if you live in an area where rodent infestation is common. These cracks symbolise a crack in your home’s defence, and if you are not quick enough to address it, you might find yourself with unwelcome rodents. You can easily DIY the sealing process, or seek professional assistance—no matter the approach, make sure you seal those cracks immediately!

After all, rodents will not be able to enter your home if their entrances are blocked.

Keep Food Stored and Away

Food invites rodents and other pests inside your home, so it is important that you keep food stored away and/or disposed of properly. Never leave food out, even if you believe that it is safe. Rodents, particularly rats, have a particularly good sense of smell, making them highly sensitive to enticing foods.

Landscaping 

Vegetation should be trimmed and kept away from your home, especially trees. Rats are excellent climbers, and they can easily climb onto your roof via tree branches that are overhanging towards your home. By removing these access points, you are significantly decreasing the likelihood of rodents entering your home.

While all of the above are great rodent control methods, only an expert can provide the skills, knowledge, and experience to prevent rodent infestation for the long run. At Carpets & Critters, we provide rodent and ant control services, making sure that your home is rodent- and pest-free! From rats to spiders, rest assured that our expert team can remove all unwanted visitors and guarantee a pest-free environment.
