Rodents are more than just a nuisance; they pose significant health risks to your household. In North and Central Florida, homes are particularly vulnerable to infestations from rats and mice, especially during cooler months when they seek shelter indoors. Here’s how you can protect your home from these unwanted guests.
Common Signs of a Rodent Infestation
Before you can safeguard your home, it’s important to identify the signs of a rodent infestation. Look for droppings, gnaw marks, and scratching sounds in walls or attics. Rodents are nocturnal, so their activity is often more noticeable at night.
Seal Entry Points
Rodents can enter through even the smallest openings. Regularly inspect your home’s foundation, walls, and roof for cracks or gaps and seal them with caulk or steel wool. Pay special attention to doorways, vents, and windows, which are common entry points.
Proper Food Storage
Rodents are always on the lookout for food sources. Store all food in airtight containers and clean up spills or crumbs immediately. Regularly empty trash bins and ensure they are sealed tightly to prevent access.
Maintain a Clean Yard
A cluttered yard can attract rodents looking for food or shelter. Keep your yard tidy by removing debris, trimming overgrown bushes, and ensuring that firewood is stored away from your home’s foundation. Additionally, maintaining a clean yard can help discourage rodents from nesting near your home.
