RODENTS (RATS & MICE):
Some of the most common New York pests are rodents; specifically, mice and rats. Rodents are adept at finding their way inside buildings. A mouse only needs an opening the size of a dime to gain access to your home or business, and a rat can squeeze through a hole no bigger than a quarter. Once inside, these pests can cause considerable amounts of damage. Their constant chewing can ruin the furniture in your home or the products for sale in your store, and chewed wires pose a significant fire hazard. Also, mice and rats are both known to spread many different diseases, including Salmonella and Hantavirus.
Rodent Control And Prevention Tips
Rodents are extremely fast reproducers, so it does not take very long for them to overrun an establishment. Some very simple precautions that you can take will go a long way towards protecting you from these pests:
- Remove food sources. Make sure leftovers are stored properly, and ensure that garbage cans have tightly fitting lids.
- Seal entry points. Check for cracks in walls or foundations, and make sure they are properly repaired. Screens are another common entrance; repair any rips, tears, or holes in window screens and screen doors.
- Store firewood at least 20 feet from the house and six inches or more off of the ground.
