What Is the Most Effective Rodent Control?

The most effective rodent control methods typically involve a combination of preventive measures, exclusion techniques, and targeted treatments. Here are some strategies that are commonly recommended:

  • Sanitation: Maintain cleanliness to remove food sources that attract rodents.
  • Exclusion: Seal gaps and openings in your home to prevent rodent entry.
  • Traps: Use snap traps, glue traps, or live traps with appropriate bait to capture rodents.
  • Rodenticides: Use caution with poison baits, following instructions carefully and using secure bait stations.
  • Natural Predators: Encourage natural predators like cats, dogs, or birds of prey to control rodent populations.
  • Professional Pest Control: Seek help from pest control services for severe infestations or persistent rodent problems.

These methods, when used together and consistently, can effectively control rodent populations without the risk of plagiarism.

Why Are Rodents Attracted to a House?

A crucial method for preventing rodents from invading a house is identifying what is drawing them in the first place. Even if the present family of rats or mice is eliminated, homeowners should find and eliminate the primary reason that rodents are entering.

Common reasons why rats and mice keep pestering a residence include attractions such as: 

  • Open food sources – The number one reason that rats, mice, squirrels, and other rodents would be attracted to a house is that they smell food. These creatures have a keen sense of smell, and any open food containers, from cereal to pet food, will draw them in. Keeping these items closed off is crucial for stopping rodents from returning.
  • Places to create a nest – Rodents love when there is a lot of debris laying about, whether in an attic or a crawlspace. They will tear apart valuable furniture, décor, files, books, and even artwork to use as nesting material. If these items are laying about and there are lots of holes around, rodents are sure to find their way in.
  • A source of water – The fact that Utah is so arid means that rodents are especially drawn to any spaces that might offer them a bit of moisture. This is why they often lurk in laundry rooms and bathrooms, behind the toilet, washing machine, or under the sink. Even if there are no open food containers nearby, homeowners can suffer from thirsty rodents.

Thorough Rodent Elimination Techniques

Residents can stop rats and mice from being attracted to their homes by eliminating as many temptations as possible. However, certain objects can’t be simply removed. No one is going to get rid of all the wiring that rodents like to chew or seal off their bathroom vents. 

This is why professional rodent control is crucial in addition to using solid prevention techniques. Our team at Prime Pest and Lawn is capable of using the most effective methods of eradicating rodents. Once the current population is gone, we can get rid of their nests and block off entry points to keep them gone for good.
