Preventing rodents from entering your home

The biggest way to prevent rodents from accessing your home is very simple. Take away their food, water, and access to shelter. Just like any living organism, the goal is food, water, and shelter. So, if you can keep these items away from the rats, mice, or squirrels, then your home will be fine.

• Make sure to inspect your home and seal up any access points or entryways that the rodents might be able to use.
• Trimming your trees back away from the home will keep the rodents from gaining access to your roof or ledges. These could be great access points to your attic space or wall space.
• Keeping up with pest control and monitoring your attics, crawlspace, and exterior walls will be your best method of prevention.
