Brownsville Homeowner’s Guide To Avoiding Rodent Problems

Rodents may be tiny mammals but they lead to big problems around your home. With their constant biting and chewing they can leave ugly marks on virtually any surface, plus they like to dig their way through walls to find safe nesting grounds. Rodents also carry diseases and parasites and can lead to allergic reactions and bad asthma. All of these problems highlight how important it is to get an early start on pest prevention, rather than waiting for an infestation to already be a problem before you act. Here are the best tips from experts: 

Food storage: Rodents can chew through food packaging and even survive on crumbs, so proper food storage and cleanup are important. 

Trash, Too: You also need to be careful with how you store your trash, which can be accessible and attractive to rodents. 

Access Points: Rodents will utilize all kinds of access points to get inside, including digging their way through and scratching at existing cracks or holes to make larger openings. 

Inspections & Treatments: The best way to keep up with all the factors that attract pests like rodents to your property is to get regular inspections by experts. We can also install monitoring systems and apply treatments that prevent rodents in the first place.
