Rodent Prevention: Simple Steps That Work

When dealing with unwanted rodents, it’s essential to seal all potential entry points in your home. Key steps include:

• Identify openings: Check for small gaps in the foundation, larger spaces around pipes and utility lines, and gaps near doors and windows.

• Seal small gaps: Use durable materials like steel wool, combined with caulk or spray foam, to block rodents effectively.

• Address larger gaps: Employ metal sheeting, hardware cloth, or cement to create a solid barrier.

• Inspect doors and windows: Look for tears or damage and repair as needed. Installing weather stripping can prevent common entry points.

• Enhance door protection: Add a metal door sweep to cover gaps at the bottom of doors.

Taking these proactive rodent prevention measures will help keep rodents out and protect your home from infestations.
