Rodent Exclusion Measures for Boise Residents

Seal the Exterior of your Home

One of the most important things you can do to prevent rodent problems is to seal the exterior of your home. Mice can fit through extremely small holes, so even small cracks and crevices must be fixed. Use caulk or expandable spray foam to seal these areas. For larger openings like chimneys that cannot be sealed, mesh screens can be installed. Next, check windows and doors to ensure that they close tight and leave no gaps. You can also use screens and weatherstripping to help keep pests out.

Eliminate Excess Moisture Around Your Property

Like all living creatures, rodents need water to survive. Leaky pipes and faucets, clogged drains and gutters, and poor drainage areas can attract not only rodents, but many other household pests as well. 

Keep Your Yard and Home Clean and Tidy

Rodents, especially mice and rats, will be attracted to yards and homes if they offer good hiding places and plenty of food. Get rid of potential harborages by keeping your yard free from debris like leaf litter, trash, firewood, etc. It is also a good idea to trim trees, bushes, and shrubs so that they do not overhang the roof or touch the house. Inside your home, it is also important to maintain a tidy environment. Clutter and debris makes it easier for rodents to find hiding places and harder for residents to recognize an infestation. Regularly sweeping, vacuuming, taking out the trash, etc. can also help deter rodents.

Store Food Properly

One of the main reasons that pests enter homes is in search of food. That is why it is so important to store food properly. Keep all food in the refrigerator or in sealed containers. Choose thick plastic, glass, or metal containers so that rodents will not be able to chew through them.
