• Keep a clean and tidy home. To keep these pesky rodents far away from your home, the better way is uninviting them to your house. It means there is no food source attracting them, like clean up the dog/cat food out spills, unrefrigerated foods in airtight containers. Wash dirty dishes in the sink. Keep garbage bins sealed tightly.
• Do not forget your garden, too. Rats like some not people-foods, remove the dog feces in your garden, the rodents like it even it was gross. Turn compost regularly and never compost meat or fat (which attracting rats.) Don’t forget your birdseed, grass seed and the food which you plant in your garden. Keep your field clean, remove crop residues, weeds, and debris that rats use for shelter.
• Keep garbage bins sealed tightly. Clear your garbage every day. Wipe your kitchen clean. Trust me you will have a good fortune.
