- One of the best ways to rodent-proof your home is to identify and seal as many entry points into your home as possible.
- Store all garbage in metal or heavy plastic bins with tight-fitting lids.
- Remove all weeds and debris in your yard and especially near your home so rats do not have a place to hide.
- Clean up all food scraps inside and outside your home.
- Do not leave extra pet food out. It is an open invitation to rodents to come in and feast.
- Keep outside doors closed and use metal trim so rodents can't gnaw and enter underneath the door.
- Make sure all windows have screens and check them frequently for holes.
