Property modifications to keep rodent numbers low

Rodents in houses and offices can be a real nuisance. No one wants to deal with them since they bring in a lot of damage along them and multiplicate in numbers quickly. These rodents can bring in their rodent friends causing more damage and might even attract predators which can be dangerous for us to deal with. Rats and mice not only leave holes in walls and woodwork but leave the place in filth, bringing tons of diseases with them.

 All these factors combined can be nerve-racking and might just become a necessity, but an unwanted financial burden. Here is what you can do to reduce rodent population from coming into your property.

1.    Rodent-proof construction

The most effective way to reduce rodent population is by rodent-proof construction. New buildings and houses should be built upon the principles of rodent-proof constructions to minimize rodent population. Designing a rodent-proof building can be less expensive than adding rodent-proofing later onwards.

2.    Elimination of food/water sources near your property

One of the most effective techniques to keep rodents away is to eliminate any sorts of crops or food sources near your house. These can otherwise be an attraction for rodents.

3.    Usage of automatic doors

Installing an automatic door is convenient and affordable. The door automatically shuts down completely without leaving any empty spaces after everyone has made entry. These doors hardly leave any space open for rodents to enter or sneak in which keeps you safe from harm.

4.    Rodent-proof sewerage systems

One of the characteristics of rats is that they can swim far distances and easily fit in tiny holes through sewerages which makes them easily accessible to inner parts of properties. To avoid this, you need to make sure that no sort of hole in the sewerage system is left ignored. Rodent-proof sewerage techniques should be applied for better safety.

5.    Usage of pesticide killers

Most of the rodents can be repelled by using pesticide killers. These can be accessible to nearly everyone. Being cost-efficient, they are also very successful and practical. Perhaps the most common method to repel rodents is by using pesticide killers. These can be found in different forms such as liquid, sprays and powder. Sprinkling powder at entrances has been found very effective and cost-efficient.

6.    Cleanliness 

Rodents are usually attracted to dirt and filth. Rats are usually found near garbage and dumpsters. One way to keep rodents away is by regularly cleaning your house, especially your kitchen and keeping the lids of trash cans tightly closed. Regularly dispose of your garbage and avoid any unnecessary rubbish. These tips can surely help you get rid of rodents and repel them from your property.
