Whether it\u2019s in your home or within a commercial premises, nobody wants to be faced with a rodent infestation. Not only can it make even the toughest among us feel rather uneasy, these creatures can become aggressive when scared, cause damage to your property and of course, spread a myriad of diseases.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2. Another reason why rodents may enter your property is quite simply because they can. Don\u2019t underestimate the determination of these creatures either because if they spot an opportunity, they will work hard to make the most of it. Our second top tip for preventing a rodent infestation is to block any potential entry points into your home. This can include:<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
3. Leaking pipes and clogged drains are perfect breeding sites for pests so ensure you keep attics, basements and crawl spaces well ventilated and dry. Crawl spaces are the small areas under the floor or roof which provide access to your wiring and\/or plumbing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
4. If your rodent infestation has left you baffled because you\u2019re doing all the right things to avoid them and there aren\u2019t any possible entry points, there\u2019s a possibility you may be bringing them in accidentally. They may have been hiding in old furniture, boxes, shopping bags and other packages brought to your premises. This is more often the case with commercial properties where you may get a lot of deliveries for stock. If this is the case, ensure you thoroughly inspect all deliveries when they first arrive rather than just storing them in a dark cupboard somewhere.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
5. One of the best ways to prevent an outbreak of rodents is to deal with the problem as soon as you spot the signs. Don\u2019t ignore it and hope it goes away because unfortunately, it won\u2019t. If you\u2019re a business, it\u2019s also well worth having a risk assessment and regular inspections because these actions can prevent an infestation from occurring in the first place.<\/p>\n
