Tips to Control Rodents on your Property

Remove all potential sources of food from the premises, such as bird seed left out for birds.
Routinely harvest ripe fruit and pick up all fruit that has fallen to the ground.
Store pet food in metal containers with tight sealing lids and do not leave uneaten pet food outdoors.
Avoid storing food in garages and storage sheds unless it is in rat-proof covered metal containers.
Control snails and clean up pet feces because they are favored food items.
Keep trash cans closed at all time with tightly fitted lids.
Repair leaking eliminate any other faucets, sprinklers, or other piping. Keep drain covers tightly fastened and unnecessary standing water.

Close all openings larger than ¼ inch to exclude rats and mice.
Repair or replace damaged vent screens.
Remove all trash and debris.
Stack woodpiles, lumber and household items at least 18 inches above the ground, and 12 inches away from fences and walls.
Trim trees, bushes and vines at least 4 feet away from the roof.
Remove heavy vegetation away from buildings and fences.
Thin vegetation to allow daylight in and remove rat hiding places.
