Would you like to know how to ensure that you never need to get rid of rats and mice in your property?
Pest control Reading firms often find that the cause of many rodent infestations lies with food and its availability on the premises. As rodents eat almost non-stop they consume around a third of their body weight every day in food.
Ratty and his family have moved in to your roof space. They need to eat and so Ratty looks around the property. He’s not interested in technology or toys. He sees the nest building potential in your lovely furnishings and there’s some paper and furniture that can be nibbled.
Then he sees your kitchen. He can barely contain his excitement. He scurries upstairs, tells the family about the treasure trove he’s seen and they all visit.
The humans in the property don’t seem to clear up after themselves too well.
One worktop has what appears to be toast crumbs on it.
The draining board has a bowl with some milk and cereal in it.
The floor has crumbs on it too; biscuit, they think.
And there’s a bowl of water, left for the cat, who is out.
An open food cupboard reveals a couple of packets that just need a quick gnaw to get to the food.
Then there’s the bin…
Ratty and his family think that your home is the best. You are so keen to feed them, why would they move on? They’ve got a nice warm and safe home with access to their favourite foods and drink. They decide that humans are not as bad as they’ve been told!
Rats and mice have the same preferred food choices:
- They love seeds, grains, nuts and fresh produce.
- Mice can’t resist chocolate, it’s more tempting than cheese.
- In moments when rodent “beggars can’t be choosers” they’ll eat meat, fish and even leather.
- Pet food in a bowl is easy to scurry to and it will be consumed readily.
If you don’t want to become host to rats and mice with big bellies to fill, it is imperative that your property is not the des res that they will delight in. Whilst you can’t remove the roof or cavity walls to stop rodents moving in there is one swift way in which to deter them.
Get rid of rats and mice temptations. Rodent hazard removal should be at the top of your to-do list.
With nothing left lying around to attract them, they’ll scurry on, so instead of leaving a crumb feast on the worktop or the cupboards open, please take a second to clean up and close cupboards because this takes a lot less time and energy than seeking pest control Reading experts to eradicate rats and mice infestations.
As spring rolls in, so too, will the rodent breeding season. Don’t allow your home to be a maternity ward and a 5* eatery.
Rodent hazard removal removes the need to get rid of rats and mice.
