Food And Water SourcesÂ
Pests and rodents need food and water sources to survive. Some of the most common are pet food, spilled birdseed, over-ripe fruit from trees and plants, uncovered garbage cans, or open containers in your kitchen pantry.Â
If you suspect a rodent infestation in your home it is important to take steps for proper rodent removal such as sealing up any potential entry points with steel mesh and caulking any possible openings around windows, doors, or electrical outlets. It’s also essential that you properly store all opened food items so they don’t become an easy target for pests.
Shelter
Rodents can also find shelter on your property by seeking out warmth underneath decks or patios. They may also seek refuge in bushes, trees, and shrubs. To prevent rodents from gaining access to your home it is important to conduct rodent-proofing services such as sealing up any possible entry points or gaps around windows and doors.Â
Additionally, if you have a crawl space, attic or basement you should consider having these areas cleaned out regularly in order to keep the environment free of debris that can serve as shelter for pests and rodents so ensure attic cleaning once in a while.
Disease
Pests and rodents can also be carriers of various diseases that can spread through your property. The most common is E-coli and Salmonella which both can cause serious illnesses if left untreated. It is essential to identify potential pest infestations as soon as possible so that proper action can be taken to control and eliminate the pests.
What Are Subterranean Termites?

As such, it is essential for property owners to have their properties inspected regularly by professional pest control experts such as Attic Pros in order to identify any potential infestations early enough so that they can take prompt action before the structural integrity of their homes or businesses is compromised.
