Rodents are a common problem for homeowners…

Especially in colder months when they seek warmth and shelter indoors. Whether you’re dealing with rats in the attic or rodents in walls, preventing an infestation is far easier than trying to get rid of one.

Here are the most effective ways to stop rats and mice from invading your property

1 – Seal All Entry Points

Rats and mice can squeeze through tiny gaps—mice can fit through holes as small as a 5p coin!
Inspect your home’s exterior for cracks, gaps, and holes, particularly around doors, windows, vents, and pipes.
Use steel wool, caulk, or metal mesh to block any potential entry points.

2 – Keep Your Home Clean and Clutter-Free

Rodents are attracted to food and shelter, so maintaining a clean environment is essential.
Store food in airtight containers, regularly dispose of rubbish, and keep kitchen surfaces free of crumbs.
Clutter, especially in lofts and basements, provides excellent hiding spots, so make sure to tidy up and remove unnecessary storage.

3 – Secure Your Rubbish Bins

Outdoor bins are a major attraction for rodents.
Use bins with tightly sealed lids and ensure they’re placed away from your home.
If possible, keep them on a raised platform to prevent easy access.

4 – Trim Overgrown Vegetation

Rats and mice love hiding in overgrown bushes, ivy, and piles of wood.
Keep your garden tidy by trimming plants, mowing the lawn, and storing firewood at least 30cm off the ground.
Reducing shelter near your home will make your property less inviting to rodents.
