Have you woken up to the pitter patter of little feet above your head in the morning? No, we aren’t talking about your kids! We are talking about the rats, mice and squirrels that could possibly be rooming in your attic– for free! The audacity of these rodents is preposterous. To help prevent or remove rodents, follow these tips or call Pest Control Unlimited.
- To catch rats and mice in the attic, you need to listen to what they are telling you. You NEED to focus on the areas where droppings and chew marks are present to help you catch the little guys. If you wanna use humane traps, the hardware store is a great place to start. Buy cages and use bait to lure them in near where they have gathered.
- Cleaning out your attic is another great idea! Sometimes you can throw things up there and forget about them, but this is exactly what the pests want. Every few months you should go up into the attic with a broom, dust pan and gloves to declutter.
- Before every winter, head up to the attic and see if you can detect any seal leaks. Rodents often get into your attic through holes in the underbelly of your roof. Do you know how they get up onto your roof? The trees! Try and cut off their bridge by trimming tree limbs regularly.
- If you have recurring problems every winter, it might be best to sign up for Pest Control Unlimited’s Quarterly Program. These services are custom designed for your home and our technicians know how to deal with and any and all rodent problems. Just call us today!
