San Diego’s Vector Control Program is at the forefront of community rodent control efforts as the city is offering free inspections to county residents that think they may be experiencing a rodent infestation.
Because rats and common rodents like house mice can spread disease so easily, the county officials offer free educational inspections that cover the exteriors of buildings in San Diego County. In addition, residents that participate receive a free rat control kit that includes the following:
- Tamper-resistant Trapping Station and key
- Rat Control Brochure
- 1 Rat Snap Trap
- 1/4″ Sample Hardware Cloth (used for exclusion)
Resident interested in participating can contact San Diego County here.
Another option for assisting in exclusion and prevention of rats and mice is utilizing the strongest door sweep products made by Burrtec USA.
