Your home may look nice and modern but something inside may be “ruining your daily life”. We’re talking about nuisance animals and nothing is more annoying than rodents like rats. Helping your home can start by doing this: Eradicate and prevent mice from entering and breeding in your home!
Okay, why should mice be given more attention?
Rats (as well as other rodents) are quite dangerous as they can transmit a wide range of diseases through their bites, droppings, and germs or bacteria carried in between their fur as they walk or crawl. They are also walking flea shops. You definitely don’t want them roaming around your home spreading fleas and ticks here and there.
And if you think that health threats are the only ones then you are wrong. They can also damage your furniture, your electrical wiring, and also your expensive porcelain tableware. Imagine renovating your home at a huge cost and in a few years everything is not the same anymore.
You need to control those rodents!
But how? Just by chasing and killing them?
Come on, a pair of rats can produce many new rats in a year! You may not be able to rely on the “conventional approach”. In many cases, enlisting the help of a pest control company is the best decision.
You may not be able to chase them down to their safest hiding places such as ceilings and behind walls. They are also experts at creating “breeding bases” in your unused items, such as old washing machines, unused bathtubs, stacks of cardboard boxes, and so on.
Unfortunately, they prefer to roam at night and you don’t want to sacrifice your precious family time to chase them. Leaving it to the professionals will save you a lot of time and the benefits will outweigh the money you’ve invested.
Okay, you might want to know the principles of rat control!
Leaving your rodent problem to the professionals doesn’t mean leaving you in the dark. You need to know the principles of rat and other rodent control.
– Try to seal all gaps or cracks in your walls or the base of your floor. Those holes are potential cozy homes for those rodent monsters.
– Do not allow them access to any food including raw food. These rodents live and breed in your home for a reason and that is because your home is a place where they can find food easily!
– Get rid of old, unused items from your shed. You already know why. They are potential homes for these furry pests.
– If it’s not dangerous (for your family), you can spread rat poison in places where you suspect they hang out.
– Raise their predators. But we doubt your sweet kitty is capable of being a predator.
Ultimately, rodent control is one important aspect of keeping your home a safe, comfortable and healthy home for you and your family.
