🐀 Why locating rodent ingress points is important in pest control! 🐭
When dealing with a rodent problem, removing the mice or rats currently in the property isn’t enough to resolve a pest issue long term. One of the most important parts of effective pest control is identifying where they are getting into the property in the first place. Rodents can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps and may enter properties through:
🟢Gaps around pipes and cables.
🟢Air bricks or vents.
🟢Gaps beneath doors.
🟢Cracks or gaps in walls, foundations or brickwork.
🟢Damaged drains or drainage connections.
🟢Gaps around roofing and building joins.
If rodent ingress points aren’t identified and proofed, new rodents can continue to enter even after the existing infestation has been treated. By locating and, where appropriate, sealing potential entry points alongside a suitable pest control programme, we can significantly reduce the likelihood of rodents returning in the future. I have included some pictures to show examples of rodent ingress points SLR Pest Management has discovered on recent jobs.
