Exclusion:
Exclusion is one of the most important steps in rodent proofing. Rats can squeeze through incredibly small openings—as little as 1/4-inch wide! To keep them out, seal off any potential entry points around your home with steel wool and caulk or other materials that rats won’t be able to chew through.
Â
Be sure to inspect all exterior walls, windows, and doors as well as any openings where pipes enter the building. It’s also important to make sure your chimney cap is securely in place so rats can’t get into your attic or crawl space.Â
Sanitation:
Good sanitation practices are essential for keeping rats away from your home. Make sure all food scraps and garbage are stored in tightly sealed containers and kept away from exterior walls or windowsills where rodents can easily access them.
Â
Keep pet food indoors if possible, and make sure bird feeders are placed at least 10 feet away from buildings. Trim back any trees or bushes near your home so there won’t be any hiding places for rats near your walls or windowsills.Â
Trapping:
Trapping is another effective way to deal with rat problems or rodent control. There are several different types of traps available for rodent removal; choose one that works best for you depending on the size of the infestation and the type of rat you have (e.g., Norway or roof).
Â
Placement is key when it comes to trapping; put them along walls where rodents travel or areas where they might find food or shelter like dark closets or crawl spaces beneath major appliances like stoves and refrigerators. Make sure the bait isn’t visible since this could attract more rodents than desired!Â
