Always go through basic steps when creating a rodent management program:

⦁ Inspect the property for entry points, food sources, harborage areas and signs of activity.

⦁ Identify present rodent species, such as Norway rats, roof rats or the various mouse species.

⦁ Eliminate access to food sources. Seal entry points, and clean or remove protective harborage areas inside and out.

⦁ Use glue boards or traps instead of baits indoors to prevent dead rodent odors. Baits and stations on the exterior should follow label and safety precautions.
