Our team at Longhorn Termite & Pest Control understands you care about your home, and we want to help you keep it safe from all pests. In our experience, rodents are some of the worst possible pests to deal with, but fortunately, we know how to keep your home safe from these invaders. If you have a rodent problem, just give us a call to get the effective treatment you need. We can also provide follow-up treatments to prevent more rodents from coming back.
In addition, you can use the following strategies to discourage mice and rats from entering your home in between pest control treatments:
- Seal Points of Entry – One of the most effective methods of rodent control is to seal off their points of entry. Our team can help you identify any gaps in your home’s exterior where rodents might be entering and help you seal these gaps off.
- Improve Food Storage – Another method of rodent control is to store all food in airtight containers. Rodents are attracted to the smell of food, and they can easily chew through cardboard and tear through plastic bags. To prevent them from contaminating the food in your pantry, we encourage you to store all your dry food and ingredients in sealed, airtight cannisters.
- Clean Up Promptly – Lastly, we encourage you to adopt more aggressive cleaning habits as part of your rodent control efforts. Leaving crumbs on your floor or counters can attract rodents, so it’s important to clean up right away after eating or after spills.
