Rats can be active year-round so checking for signs of rats invading your home periodically can help you catch a rat infestation early. The earlier you catch a rat infestation the faster you will be able to get rid of them. Typically, rats will inhabit the area immediately around a structure but will eventually try to find their way inside.
Outdoor sanitation usually includes keeping trees and bushes trimmed, yard debris cleaned up and a few other steps. Exclusion includes finding and sealing up any entry points on the structure you can find.
- Inspect the foundation all the way around the home. Any crack, gap, or hole that is 8mm or larger needs to be repaired.
- Check all doors, door frames, windows, and window frames. Replace any broken windowpanes. Replace any damaged window or door screens. Repair any gap, hole, or crack around frames.
- Inspect the roof. Roof ventilators and vent screens to be sure they are secure and undamaged, replacing or repairing as needed.
- Inspect all trees and hedges near the home. Any tree branches or hedges that touch or hang over the house should be cut back to prevent rodents from using them as pathways onto and into the house.
- Keep grass short and trim bottom of hedges or bushes to expose soil beneath and eliminate rodent harborage areas.
- Remove food and water sources when possible. Feed pets in the morning and remove any uneaten food immediately.
- Find and fix any leaking pipes or drains. Remove bird feeders if possible, to eliminate the birdseed as a possible food source.
- Frequently clean outdoor trash cans and make sure the lids fit on tightly. Keep trashcans as far from the structure as possible.
