Elizabeth Rodent Removal Tip:

How can I modify my property to keep rat populations down?
No one wants rats in their home, that's just a given. But rat populations in urban areas have become an increasingly worrisome problem, prompting many homeowners to wonder what little additions and modifications they might bring to their property to change that. In this article, we'll be looking at some easy things you can do at home to keep rat infestations at bay.

Automatic doors
More and more home designers and architects are turning their attention to automatic doors. These smart inventions mean that the door automatically closes after you and your party have gone through the door, thus leaving very little chance for the rats to squeeze through. What's more, automatic doors are considered more "solid", and less likely to develop cracks in time, which might also allow rats to sneak into your home. So if you're looking for a long-term investment that will help keep your home safe from rats (as well as other intruders), automatic doors might be a good idea for you.

Keep away from sewers
This one's a bit trickier, unfortunately, as it can only be done when building a house, or when choosing one to move into. It's no secret that rats are big fans of sewers, not just because they provide a neat hiding hole, but also because they allow them quick and easy access into lots of residences. So what you can do, when erecting or choosing a home is to make sure the house is far away from sewers, since the closer you are, the more likely you are to get a visit from those rodents.

Isolate the wires and pipes
An excellent way to keep rats away from your home is to make sure your pipes and wires are all in proper working order. Regularly checking for cracks and holes ensures that rats don't have a secret entry point into your home, and it's a much easier and cheaper way to prevent rat infestation than the other two methods. 

It's important to note that even the tiniest crack in your pipes could allow a rat to squeeze through and into your property (either directly or into your walls). And of course, you don't want that, so make sure to check on those pipes and do whatever you can to protect them from anything that might damage them.

Keep plants and trees at a distance
Rats have been known to use tall wall plants or plant structures to get access into the home, which is why experts recommend keeping plants at a safe distance from the house itself. Also, regularly trim the branches of your trees, as these can also be used by rats (fairly good climbers) to get into the house through an open window. Overly long branches are the main way through which wildlife gets into your attic, so make sure you trim those regularly, otherwise you risk encountering way more than just rats.

The good old prevention
Lastly, this isn't technically a home modification, but it is still worth remembering. If you suspect there is a rat problem on your property, we recommend checking for cracks and holes immediately and using live traps to get rid of the rodent itself.

A great method of prevention is to switch up the way you store leftover food in your home since that's a huge point of attraction for rodents - access to food. By using safe containers, you diminish the attraction. All in all, protecting your home from rats is possible, if not necessarily easy. And while these modifications may seem excessive now, just think of how much you might end up spending if rats do decide to invade!
