The City of Windsor has joined many others in North America that are focused on providing education to residents in hopes of reducing overall rodent populations, including both mice and rats.
The biggest part of the campaign is providing ongoing education to customers, so they know how to protect their homes from rodent infestations. Not only mice and rats, but opossums, skunks and more.
Door protection using door sweeps and garage protection with weatherstripping like Ratshut is a big part of the prevention.
Other Windsor recommendations including taking care of trash and making sure it’s secured, trimming bushes, keeping logs away from the home, filling empty holes that could provide entry, and more.
Many cities have these included as part of their governmental efforts. In Boston, for example, the city launched a Rodent Action Plan in 2024 that brought together multiple agencies with a common goal of mitigating rodents to give people a better life.
