7 Tips for Mouse & Rat Prevention

First and foremost, if you suspect you have a rodent infestation, you should seek professional assistance immediately. For future mouse and rat prevention, here are our recommendations:

Food

• Store food in metal or glass containers to keep inaccessible to small food thieves.
• Clear up any food waste and crumbs from the sink, counter, and floor.

Rubbish

• Empty bins regularly and make sure lids are securely fitting.
• Eliminate any food fragments from or around outside bins.

Keep tidy

• Keep your house and garden clean and keep garden clutter to a minimum to reduce hiding places.
• Avoid organic food waste in compost heap as this can attract rats.
• Remove items which can be used to make nests such as cardboard.
