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.
Ratshut is a stainless-steel spine-backed product and an essential tool for maintenance and facility managers, pest control professionals, and garage door installers.
