As more regions across the country see a growing rodent
population, Orkin Canada is reminding Canadians of steps that can
be taken to mitigate rodents from targeting their property:
- Eliminate Harbourage: Remove clutter indoors
and outdoors, trim overgrown vegetation, and keep grass short.
- Cut Off Water Sources: Eliminate moisture by
clearing clogged gutters and fixing leaky pipes or faucets both
indoors and outdoors.
- Remove Food Sources: Clean up fallen fruits or
vegetables in the yard, store garbage in rodent-proof bins, and
prevent overflow.
- Seal Entry Points: Close gaps larger than 1/4 inch
with rodent-proof materials, and install weather strips on exterior
doors to block entry points.
For comprehensive protection, consider contacting a pest control
professional to assess your property and recommend prevention
measures. For more information, visit orkincanada.ca
