As a PCO company specializing in rodent control services on farms, one of our main tasks is to discover the hiding spots of rodents outside or inside the farm buildings and advise customers to eliminate them.
So, we first need to know how to spot these factors
Outdoor factors: Rodents are primarily invading from the outdoors, so the greatest concern for the removal of hiding spots should be on the exterior of the building. Specific defensive measures can be:
1) Build a 60 cm wide cement or gravel protective belt along the building, and keep it at a distance from the greenery, to prevent vegetation from growing and attracting rodents to hide.
2) Minimize the storage of any equipment or items outdoors to prevent them from becoming a habitat for rodents. To be stored, it must be 6 meters from the building and more than 15 cm from the ground, and the pipes should be closed at both ends.
3) The outer lawn needs to be mowed regularly.
Indoor factors: Proper storage practices and building structures are the biggest factors limiting where potential rats can hide. Specific defensive measures can be:
1) Anywhere, items must be stored at least 45 cm away from walls and ceilings.
2) Items should be stored on pallets, liners or shelves and off the floor.
3) Repair the holes in the wall and floor surface in time.
The above is an environmental improvement program, although environmental improvement is very important, but it is not enough to rely on environmental improvement to control mice, but also need physical control and chemical control, friends who need prevention and control programs can leave a message.
