Brandon rodent control   arrow

If you live in Brandon Florida, then you know that our state has pests. And that goes for more than just insects. We have every kind of home invader under the sun in the animal kingdom, and that’s why today we’ll be going over spotting a rodent infestation your home, and general Brandon Rodent Control.

Brandon Rodent Control

Just like anything else in life, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The quicker you find the source, or even whether or not you have an infestation, the better. And the most common rodent infestations you’ll find are rat and mice.

You may never see a mouse or rat unless an infestation is severe. Look for signs of rat or mouse infestation:

  • Rodent droppings around food packages, in drawers or cupboards, and under the sink.
  • Nesting material such as shredded paper, fabric, or dried plant matter.
  • Signs of chewing on food packaging.
  • Holes chewed through walls and floors that create entry points into the home.
  • Stale smells coming from hidden areas.

Discourage rats and mice from taking up residence on your property by removing food and water sources, and items that can provide them shelter:

  • Seal holes inside and outside the home to keep rodents out. This may be as simple as plugging small holes with steel wool or patching holes in inside or outside walls.
  • Remove potential rodent nesting sites from your property, including leaf piles and deep mulch.
  • Clean up food and water sources in and near your house.
    • Keep kitchen garbage in containers with tight-fitting lids.
    • Turn compost piles to cover newly added food scraps.
    • Stop feeding outdoor birds while you are controlling an infestation or feed only huskless items that leave less residue that can be food for rodents.

What To Do?

Outside of general cleanliness, you’ll likely have to contact a pest control specialist to deal with this infestation. And the sooner you do so, the better.
