Rodents can be a real nuisance, especially here in Austin. They sneak into our homes, chew on things, and can even spread diseases. But don't worry, keeping your home rodent-free is totally doable with the right approach.
Seal the Entry Points
Rodents can squeeze through the tiniest cracks. Start by inspecting your home's foundation, windows, and doors.
How To Seal Up
Seal any openings you find with caulk or steel wool. Pay special attention to areas where pipes and wires enter your house.
Maintain Your Yard
Overgrown vegetation provides cover for rodents and makes your home more attractive to them. Keep your grass mowed, trim bushes and trees, and remove any piles of debris or wood.
Store Food Properly
Rodents are attracted to food sources. Store dry food in airtight containers and promptly clean up any spills or crumbs. Don't leave pet food out overnight, and make sure your garbage cans have tight-fitting lids.

Sometimes, despite your best efforts, rodents can still find their way into your home. If you suspect you have a rodent problem, it's best to call in the pros.
