Well now we are locked down into full fall mode: short days, rain and gloom. So that also means that rodents are looking for long-term care facilities, so it’s time to think about the factors that can put your assets at risk of infestation and take the bull by the horns or rat by the tail and keep rodents out. Rodents carry diseases which are spread in their urine, saliva and feces. To get ahead of a rodent infestation, you can develop your own Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program with non-chemical techniques with including exclusion, maintenance and sanitation to prevent issues. Here are the three rodents that we have in Delta.
Norway rat: Norway rats live near buildings and burrow underground beneath foundations, decks and sheds. They live outdoors during the day and like to be inside a building during the night.
Roof rat: Roof rats are generally found in attics, ceiling, walls and trees. Similar to the Norway rat, they live outdoors during the day and like to infiltrate buildings through cracks, gaps and holes in roof and siding of your house and sheds.
House mouse: House mice usually get into a home or business through an open door. They usually hang around the kitchen looking for food and can be found behind or in stoves, dishwashers, refrigerators and kitchen cabinets.
Winter is coming; don’t let rodents use your home or business as their long-term care facility.
