How to keep rats and mice out of your home

With changing weather, varmints and rodents are always seeking shelter and food inside our homes. Deer mice are one the most common rodent species in Atlanta, GA and invade homes across the middle part of the state. These mice can shed the outer layer of skin on their tails and regrow it over time. Rats in middle Georgia are dangerous to humans and can cause a lot of damage to the structures of our homes.

Rats and mice carry diseases such as murine typhus, leptospirosis and salmonellosis (food poisoning). If left unaddressed, rats will cause costly damage by chewing through insulation, electrical wires, plumbing pipes and dry wall as well as structural supports. Rats will burrow tunnels underground that can cause problems to the foundation of your home.

Here are the best ways to prevent and remove any current or future pest:
