Below we have discussed some of the potential techniques to avoid rodent attacks from premises.



Exclusion:

It is possible to take rodents away from the premises by installing some fences around. Make sure you use materials that cannot be penetrated by rodents. You have to locate all the entry and exit points at your home and then seal them all using some hard material by leaving only one of them open. Now install exclusion funnel at that remaining point and let the rodent come out of it. These funnels do not have any return path, so rodents cannot get inside once they exit through these funnels.

Habitat Modifications:

This is one of the most trustworthy tricks to handle rodent infestation in your premises. If you live in the rodent affected area, it is good to modify your home so that rodents cannot enter inside. The idea is to make it unattractive for the rodents and create some unfavorable conditions around. Seal the entry points, holes and cracks in the area. Use special sealants at water pipes, gutter ends, and other possible entry points. Keep your doors and windows closed most of the time and kept on observing the presence of rodents around. The garden and yard area must be kept safe and protected. The idea is to remove all the open food sources by removing fallen fruits from time to time and removing the leftovers. It will help you to keep rodents away from your premises. Cut down the long grass and bushes so that rodents do not find any space to hide in your habitat.
