Rodents are common pests that New Hampshire homeowners encounter year-round. These pesky critters can wreak havoc on your home by chewing through different materials, including furniture, food packaging, insulation, and even electrical wiring, creating a potential fire hazard.
Another significant risk associated with these pests is that they are vectors for various life-threatening diseases and infections. These include hantavirus, tularemia, leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV), and salmonella. Consuming food contaminated by rodent droppings and urine puts you and your family at risk of contracting these harmful diseases.
If DIY techniques fail to yield the desired results, hiring a professional pest control service becomes indispensable for the ultimate protection against these troublesome pests. If that is the case, call Identify Pest Control today and get rid of your rodent problem for good!
So, how do you stop rodents from entering your New Hampshire home? The following are 5 rodent control tips to help prevent rodents in the home and reclaim your space:
Rodents can fit through tiny holes and gain access to your home. Accordingly, it is essential to seal potential entry points that provide a way inside using materials like silicone caulk, steel wool, wire mesh, weather stripping, etc.
These include gaps and cracks in your foundation, openings around piping and utility lines, poorly sealed window frames, gaps under doors, and roof vents.
Rodents are excellent climbers, which means they can scale tree branches. The roof rat derives its name from its impressive climbing ability. Overhanging tree branches can provide these pests with a safe travel route to your roof, allowing them to enter your home through the attic.
Accordingly, pruning back tree branches and limbs away from your roof line will ensure that rodents are unable to gain entry into your home by hopping onto your roof.
A dirty house with piles of trash and a safe place to hide is a welcome sign for rodents. Maintain cleanliness by disposing of garbage time and keeping garbage bins sealed with tight-fitting lids. That will prevent the odor from escaping and limit access to it. Declutter your home to eliminate hiding spots by removing piles of paper products, garbage, or unused linen items.
There is nothing more inviting to rodents than a home with readily available food sources or a constant food supply. Clean up spills and crumbs immediately, and ensure to store all leftover or dry foods in the refrigerator and airtight containers to prevent mice and rats from chewing through them. Empty the pet food bowls, and do not leave them in the open all day long.
Owning a cat is a viable way to keep your home rodent-free. Not only do these felines act as excellent deterrents due to their scent that repels rodents, but detect and actively hunt down pests using their superior sense of smell.
Plus point in owning a cat? You have a new companion in your life that gives you lots of unconditional love.
