Understanding Rodent Behavior
Rats: Norway rats prefer ground-level entry and burrow near foundations. Roof rats are excellent climbers and often enter through attics.
Mice: House mice can squeeze through openings as small as 1/4 inch. They're excellent climbers and can jump up to 12 inches.
Prevention is Key: Rodents are attracted to food, water, and shelter. Eliminating these attractants is the first step in prevention.
For Pet Owners: If using traps or baits, ensure they're placed in areas inaccessible to pets and wildlife.
