As cooler weather approaches, homes throughout the Houston-Galveston area will be greeted by unwanted guests. We’re not talking about the in-laws, we’re talking about rodents. Once these pests infiltrate your home, they’ll reproduce at an alarming rate. Before you know it, you’ll have a full scale infestation on your hands. Take a few moments to check out some handy tips from the rodent prevention experts at Holder’s Pest Solutions.

Keep Clean to Keep Rats Out of Your Scene

Starting with the areas outside and around your house, work to eliminate or at least distance potential nesting areas for these unwanted pests. Leaf piles, deep mulch, garbage, and clutter provide great spots for rats and mice to congregate. Keeping these things near your home is an open invitation for rodents to loiter. If you are composting, remember to turn your pile over to cover new food scraps. Inside the home, cleanliness is the best policy. Take your garbage out regularly and keep it in containers with tight fitting lids, eliminating the potential for critters to dumpster dive.
