Step 1 is fairly self explanatory, but here’s a few things you may not know (and some you might not have thought of)?
Any crack or hole big enough for a rodents head is big enough for the rest of them to get through.
Mice will often enter homes under doors – solid draught protectors can fix that.
Broken vent covers are also a common entry point.
Step 2 – “Removing Temptation” is really just a polite way to say clean up. Open food storage containers, spilt foodstuffs and open rubbish/recycling bins will all attract rodents.
Step 3, Maintaining population levels. Rodents are always there but a good, year-round, management program will lower their numbers. Effective baiting can also draw rodents away from your home, in addition to destroying them.
A qualified and experienced Pest Controller can provide you with great advice on protecting your home. Including information on blocking of entry points, safe baiting practices and habitat control.
