Keep Pests Out

Here are some things you can do to protect your home and family:

• Cover or close all holes in your walls. Some rodents can squeeze through holes as small as a dime.
• Wash anything you use for eating and cooking after you are done with them.
• Store food and water in containers made of thick plastic, glass, or metal with a tight-fitting lid.
• Throw out trash as soon as you can. Put trash in a covered trashcan or dumpster.
• Clean up debris and trash as soon as possible outside your home.
• Don’t eat or drink food or water that could have come in contact with rodents.
• Trap any existing rodents using springloaded snap traps. When you clean up, wear rubber or plastic gloves, seal the dead rodent in two plastic bags, and throw away.
