HOW TO GET RODENTS OUT OF THE ATTIC?


Rodent facts
Rodents are animals living all over the globe with one exception and that would be Antarctica. They live in large numbers and are very sociable animals. Their main characteristic is double incisors of the upper jaws. The incisors grow constantly and that is why these little critters need to gnaw and chew every day. Otherwise, they would grow too much and start to bend backwards toward jaws. Rodents are mammals from Rodentia order.

Understand your enemy
In order to remove rodents out of your attic, you need to know your enemies first. Even though they are naturally shy and hide from people, they will try to find a place for their nest that includes three main sources: food, water, and shelter. Attics are just perfect places for rodents to make a cozy and warm home. There are many pests among rodents; however, your problems in the attic will most probably be caused by mice, rats or squirrels.

Rodent removal
When talking about rodent removal, humane attic removal should be mentioned first. The ultimate humane removal is, of course, preventing them from entering your home in the first place:

• Inspecting house and its surroundings in order to locate and repair all holes
• Trees need to be trimmed and shrubbed to at least 8-10 feet away from the house.
