Hillsborough County Wildlife Removal Tip:

How To Effectively Seal Off Rodent Entry Points - Any part of your home offers a potential point of entry for a rodent. However, the most common points of entry are the attic and the garage. The attic is a convenient nesting place because it offers a female rodent plenty of room to make a home for her young. People do not usually inhabit attics, so rodents can live there for a period of time uninterrupted and unseen.

Rodents easily access an attic by chewing through the space around the gutter and other weak areas of the roof. If you have a tree that hangs over the roof, you should trim it because rodents can climb trees, jump on the roof and get in the attic.

The chimney is another easily accessible entry point, and a rodent can access any part of your home by going down the chimney. Since rodents make a lot of noise, especially at night, it is easy to figure out that you have a rodent problem. You have to take immediate steps to get rid of them and seal off the entry points to prevent future access. The longer rodents live in your home, the more entry points they will create, meaning more work for you.
