A population capable of causing indescribable havoc to the human race: The rodents. To minimize the possible risks of rodents contaminating your food, spreading diseases and destroying household materials, this article will discuss few modifications of property you can handle to get rid of rodents as much as possible.

Modifications
Entry points should be closed up.
A little spacing in your doors and windows is enough for rodents’ infestations. Getting a professional help before sealing up vulnerable entrances is close to doing nothing. Use sturdy materials such as strong concrete or steel. In instance you can't modify these spaces, seal them completely. This can be regarded the most important modification.
A clean environment.
With a bushy environment, you might suffer from constant "visits". You might have to do a lot of cutting and clearing. You might even have to prune off ornamental plants. Take care of possible habitats: a dirty pile of clothes, a dirty garage or storehouse.
Block food sources
A constant source of food will keep rodents around for a long period of time. Always remember to properly dispose leftovers, garbage and even crumbs. If they are leftovers you would love to get back to, keep them properly. You can get aluminum foil over jars containing foods. Use solid covers for your food containers. Keep pet foods properly too, rodents eat basically anything. With a reduced food supply, survival of the fittest sets in and you set up a chain of biological reduction.
Repellents
You can decide to either use mothballs or peppermint. Peppermint will create a pungent smell that rodents can't stand. Dip in cotton balls in the oil and put it in possible routes of rodents. You can get mothballs at store and can be used in the attic. Ammonia, onions and bay leaf are few other deterrents you can use to repel rats.
Conclusion
Rats can be found behind furniture close to the wall, do well to move all furniture away from the wall. Your sewer line should be properly monitored; rodents can get in through them. However, what use is the modification when not backed with the proper actions?
