Remove food sources
When it comes to pests, rats and mice are some of the most adaptable of all.
If you think you may have a potential rodent problem, its good to know about some of the foods that attract mice.
Whether it’s something growing in your garden or hiding in your trashcan, eliminating a tempting food source can help to keep rodents at bay. Check out these eight foods that can attract mice, rodents, and more.
Crumbs on the floor can be very attractive to ants and other insects. Food leftovers can be appealing to rats, as well as the food in uncovered trash cans. This can also attract flies which will lay their eggs on the rotting food. Mosquitoes are attracted to standing water. Humidity also attracts subterranean termites, and so do various pieces of wood stored in improper conditions. Fruits and vegetables left uncovered can also attract fruit flies.
Get informed about the food sources of each of the pests, and make sure to not turn your home into a feast ground for them. Keep your home clean, remove trash and debris and keep garbage bins closed. Some pests are also attracted to pet food, so make sure to cover it or pick up any uneaten food.
