Rodent Prevention Tips:

  • Dispose of any cardboard that you have on your property. Rodents use cardboard to build their nests, and it has been shown to attract them.
  • Clear away all food waste as soon as possible after meals. Even small crumbs can attract rodents.
  • Keep dry goods in tightly sealed containers, and make sure to properly store all produce.
  • Don’t leave food waste out on counters or in sinks.
  • Make sure all your garbage cans have tight-fitting lids that are always replaced after use.
