What is rodent exclusion?
If you’ve ever had a rat or mouse infestation, you know how hard it can be to get rid of these pests once they’ve invaded your space. That’s why rodent prevention is so important! By keeping unwanted critters from getting into your home or business in the first place, you can spare yourself the headache of treating an infestation. Some common rodent prevention techniques include:
- Cleaning up your landscape
- Installing dryer vents and door sweeps
- Sealing any potential entry holes
- Putting on chimney caps
Why is Rodent Exclusion So Important?
Nobody wants rats or mice in their home. Not only are they creepy, but they’re capable of causing serious harm to your health or property. And, they’re incredibly difficult to get rid of. Rather than waiting until you have an infestation to start rodent control, investing in continuous preventative measures can help safeguard your property long-term. Rodent exclusion is also typically much cheaper and faster, making it a valuable use of your time and effort.
