Realtor posted an article recently mentioning that every room needs its own form of rodent control and it’s very true!

 

 

The gaps, opening and needs vary from room to room so the suggestions for protection differ a bit. According to the article, here are some common-sense steps to take to hinder insects or rodents from invading:

 

• Store food in airtight containers.
• Check the expiration dates of cereal and other dried food items, and discard expired items to prevent infestations.
• Keep your counters and floors clean and crumb-free.
• Regularly empty garbage cans.
• Deep-clean underneath appliances to remove dust and crumbs that may have fallen.
• Check for leaky sinks to deter pests seeking moisture.
• Inspect boxes, bags, and other grocery carriers thoroughly for signs of pests before bringing them in.

• 2 – Stinkbugs; they also seek a winter home and they simple follow their name, bringing a stench.
• 3 – Spiders; these creepy crawlers are easy to prevent by closing gaps and using door sweeps products like those from Burrtec.
• 4 – Boxelder Bugs; they come through cracks and crevices and can stain upholstery and walls with droppings.

Rodents are seeking warmer temperatures in more than half the country, which means the emphasis needs to be placed on where the rats and mice are entering structures and start to prevent them.

 

 

Most often, rodents enter through gaps on the exterior of a home or building, from holes underneath siding or just above the concrete foundation. They can also climb electrical or other wires and reach the roofline, and enter through holes in the soffit, fascia or roof itself.

 

Plumbing and other utility penetrations are another aspect of the protection that needs to be addressed. Holes around these pipes can allow a mouse through the space the size of a dime!

 

The final entryway for rodents into a home is under doorways and garage doors. These openings can be permanently protected with the use of Burrtec’s Ratshut.
