Winter Rodent Control Tips:
As we embrace the changing seasons, it's time to prepare for the arrival of winter and the challenges it can bring, particularly when it comes to unwanted rodents seeking shelter and warmth in our homes and businesses. At Mosquito Assassin, we are dedicated to helping you safeguard your property and loved ones from these potential pests. Here are some essential tips regarding winter rodent control:
Winter Pest-Proofing Tips, we've compiled a list of expert tips to help you winterize your property effectively.
Seal Entry Points: Inspect your property for any cracks, gaps, or holes in walls, foundations, doors, and windows. Seal these openings with weather-resistant caulk, steel wool, or hardware cloth to prevent rodents from entering.
Screen Ventilation Openings: Use fine mesh screens to cover vents and chimney openings. This will prevent rodents from crawling in through these access points while still allowing proper ventilation.
Check and Repair Roof: Examine your roof for damaged or missing shingles and repair them promptly. Rodents can enter through gaps in the roof, so keeping it in good condition is essential.
Secure Doors and Windows: Install door sweeps on exterior doors to ensure there are no gaps at the bottom. Also, check window screens and repair or replace them if damaged.
Maintain Cleanliness: Keep your property clean, both indoors and outdoors. Remove clutter, debris, and woodpiles from around your home, as these can provide hiding places for rodents.
Store Food Properly: Store food in airtight containers made of glass, metal, or heavy-duty plastic. This prevents rodents from smelling and accessing food sources inside your home.
Elevate Stored Items: If you have a basement or storage area, store items like firewood, pet food, and birdseed in elevated containers or on shelves. This makes it more challenging for rodents to reach these supplies.
Regular Maintenance: Conduct regular property maintenance, such as trimming trees and shrubs away from your home. Rodents often use overhanging branches as bridges to gain access to your roof.
Bait Stations and Traps: Consider using bait stations and traps strategically. Place them in areas where rodents are likely to travel, such as along walls or near entry points. Always follow safety guidelines when handling traps and baits.
