Are there steps that can be taken to prevent an infestation?
Gnawing, breeding, multiplying…sounds more like a horror movie than the daily life of rats, and mice. Yet, these critters continue to find their way into our homes, leaving us searching for ways to prevent infestations. One area often overlooked in this battle is the seemingly innocuous combination of bird seed, pet food, water, warmth, and opportunity. Some, if not all of these can be a major enough attractant all alone, and clutter can make wonderful harborages.
Picture this: You walk into your kitchen one fateful night, only to find chewed-up packages, gnawed wires, and a faint scratching noise coming from behind the walls. Your heart sinks as the realization sets in: you have an infestation on your hands!
But fear not! There are ways to prevent these fuzzy invaders from taking over our beloved abodes. First and foremost, it’s crucial to eliminate any possible sources of nourishment that might attract them like magnets; seal all containers tightly and store pet food away securely at night.
Additionally, addressing potential entry points can go a long way in deterring rodents from making themselves at home inside yours. A DIY approach can be as simple as sealing cracks in foundations or walls with steel wool or caulk, ensuring no minuscule gap goes unnoticed. Any opening the size of a dime or larger, automatically becomes a potential entry point for a mouse, and if the opening is as large as a quarter, rats can make entry as well.
Water sources are another factor inviting pests into our lives unwillingly; fix leaky pipes promptly and avoid leaving standing water around the house for extended periods.
Finally, warmth becomes increasingly enticing during colder months – so don’t make it easy for vermin! Keep attics well-insulated and close off any unused areas where they could seek refuge during winter seasons. Winter is when we receive the highest volume of calls for roof rats, and house mice.
As unusual as it may sound, adopting a proactive approach towards these furry intruders can be key in deterring them from making your dwelling their own personal playground, and doing damage to your property in the process.
One of the telltale signs that you may have a rodent infestation in your home are rub marks. These can often be found along walls, baseboards, or furniture where mice and rats frequently navigate. As these pests scurry through tight spaces, their fur leaves behind smudges from dirt and oils accumulated on their bodies, creating distinct marks that become more evident as the infestation grows.
If you’ve been experiencing unexplained electrical failures or disrupted wiring around your house, critters could be to blame. Mice and rats have a notorious habit of gnawing on wires – it both sharpens their teeth and provides them with materials for nesting. Not only does this damage pose a fire hazard but also indicates an established presence of rodents in your living space.
Discovering chewed-through food packages is not only frustrating but also indicative of an unwanted rodent visitor. Rats and mice will invade pantries or cupboards searching for nourishment, leaving behind ripped packaging or scattered crumbs as evidence of their midnight snack adventures.
Another sign pointing towards a potential rodent problem is visible surface damage on objects like furniture legs, wooden beams, or even wall corners. These creatures constantly gnaw in order to sharpen their teeth continuously growing throughout their lives—a behavior that causes noticeable destruction within your home.
Perhaps one of the most unpleasant indicators of an infestation is finding rodent droppings or urine stains.This is one way rats and mice can communicate with one another, as their leavings are loaded with pheromones to attract mates, and signal safe spaces to hide in.
While following these helpful tips, and knowing the signs to look for are very helpful, sometimes you may find you need help from pest professionals with training, and experience in order to get a handle on the situation, and protect your investment. We have helped many customers eliminate infestations of rats and mice in Santa Clarita, Palmdale, Lancaster, and surrounding areas in their homes, and businesses, and prevent their return.
