Don't let rodents turn your home into a Sandals resort this Holiday season!
When planning a Holiday getaway at a quality resort, there is usually a list of things on the checklist that the hotel must have to ensure a pleasant stay. A spacious yet cozy room, privacy, security, and access to food and water – these are the basics. Just like we require certain amenities where we plan to spend time, so do rodents. When the four-legged travelers find the same type of amenities you look for inside your Southeast Louisiana home, whether it be the attic, basement, or the rooms in-between, rest assured the rodents will be reserving their spot for an extended stay.
Signs of Rodent Guests
Rodents are not the type of guests you want in your home for several reasons. They are messy, destructive, and pose a health issue. The messiness comes from their droppings that are not confined to one specific area, such as a bathroom. Have you ever pulled out your Christmas decorations only to find the stockings and trimmings over run with mouse droppings? The destructiveness comes from their desire to chew things like the wiring to the Christmas tree lights and other materials.
Rodent issues on the health front include diseases such as salmonella, leptospirosis, tularemia, rat-bite fever, and hantavirus. The viruses, infections, and bacteria carried by rodents is the extra baggage they bring along for their short or long-term Holiday vacation.
Handling Rodent Infestations
While rodents are lounging away on Holiday in the comfort of your home, the first step for homeowners is putting a pest control plan of action into play. Things to take a look at to ensure your home does not become the hottest Holiday vacay spot in Hammond is doing a visual check for things like torn screens, openings around pipes that enter the residence, and fixing cracks and holes that need to be caulked and sealed. You’ll also want to be sure containers around the house such as decoration totes and garbage cans are secure and the contents disposed of regularly, and no food is left on counters that rodents can easily get to and feast on at their leisure.
