Maintain Your PropertyÂ
Rats will be less likely to take up residence on your property if it is maintained properly. Make sure there are no piles of debris or overgrown vegetation where they could hide and build nests. Trim trees and shrubs so that their branches aren’t touching the exterior walls of the house. Additionally, make sure all outdoor garbage cans have lids that fit tightly so rats can’t get in them.Â
Â
Seal Up Entry PointsÂ
Rats can squeeze through very tiny openings—even as small as a quarter inch! Inspect the outside of your house for any cracks or holes in the foundation and around windowsills, doors, pipes, vents, and other openings. If you find any openings larger than a quarter inch wide, use steel wool or caulking to seal them up tightly. This is one of the most effective ways to prevent rats from entering your home.Â
Â
Install Traps and Bait StationsÂ
Traps are an effective way to reduce rat populations around your property. Place traps in dark areas where rats like to hide such as basements, attics, garages, sheds, and anywhere else rodents might be living or nesting on your property.Â
Â
You can also set bait stations near entry points around the perimeter of your home or garden areas to deter rodent activity before they enter your space. Be sure to use only traps that are approved by local authorities for the safe capture of rodents without causing unnecessary harm to animals or people in the vicinity.Â

Bed bug infestations usually begin when people bring them home from travel or from picking up used furniture or clothing. Bed bugs attach to items such as suitcases which facilitates the spread of the insect to new areas. Once settled in a home, bed bug populations can quickly multiply if left unchecked.Â
