There are so many different types of rodents in all parts of the world, some that you might even be surprised that they are considered to be rodents at all, but when a homeowner speaks of rodents, they most of the time are referring to mice, rats, chipmunks, and squirrels. These animals are usually considered pests and can do a lot of damage to your home, as well as pose a danger to your health.

So how do you keep rodents away? Usually, you have to have a multi-pronged approach to rid yourself of rodents. Setting up traps might work for some, but usually, you also need to make sure that there isn’t anything attracting rodents in the first place. If there is easy access to food in your home, you might just be inviting the rodents to your home. Keep food well sealed and closed up where smells can’t spread. You should also check the perimeter of your home for anything that could be used as an entrance. Remember that rodents can squeeze through openings that are really tiny.
