Free Advice - Ways To Keep Rats Off Your House And Yard
Preventing your home from a rat infestation is way better and effective than trying to get rid of rats after they invade your home. Rats cause more than thirty diseases and more to that they are nuisance to your home. They are very destructive since they gnaw and chew their way through anything. They can cause leaky pipes, fire hazards and weal point in the wall or the vent system. Rat urine is stinky and corrosive so it can cause extensive damages in buildings. You can prevent rats from getting into your house and yard by taking preventive measures against rats.
1. Seal potential entry points for rats
Homes with entry points to the attic or under the deck are more susceptible to rat infestation. If you have no idea where the rats are able to get in your house, call a professional to do a sweep around your home and tell you where to seal off. Mostly, they squeeze themselves in your vent ducts and the space between your insulation. Some of the big roof rats use the space between your ceiling and the roof, and they burrow deep into the roof where it is not easy for them to be found. Make sure that you seal any bulk food in your home with rat proof containers as well to keep it from attracting rats in the home. Do not store the food in a dark room where you do not visit frequently since that is a perfect spot for rats.
2. Keep your home and yard clean
Leaving garbage that is unattended in your yard and home will definitely attract all sorts of rodents to your home. Feed your pets from a central place and keep the place clean. Manage the garbage around your home by throwing away leftovers and the rest of the stuff that you do not need. Make sure that you do not leave full dumpsters in the yard for long, have them emptied as frequently as possible. De- clutter the rooms that you do not use frequently specially the attic. Make sure that they are well cleaned and arranged so that you minimize hiding and breeding spots or rats.
3. Trim any bushes or vegetation around your yard
Rats like hiding and breeding in vegetation around your home. Make sure that you manage any plants that creep around your home. If you have fruit or nut trees that have branches that creep on tour roof or windows, they could be leading the rat right inside your home. Trim the trees and keep a close watch at them for any rodent activity. Pick up any fruit or nits that fall on the ground since they attract rats to your yard.
4. Deodorize your attic and basement
Animal control stores have special deodorizing agents that you can use for your attic, basement or rooms that you do not use frequently in the house. They keep away rats and other rodents from investing your home and making it their own. They work by eliminating any musky or pheromone smells that attract rodents and rats to your home. Use the deodorant as prescribed since some require frequent application while others have long term effects of up to one year.
