Keep Rodents Away From Your Shed In Winter

Sheds are the perfect place to store your lawnmower, shovels, and other equipment. It is no place for rodents to hide out during the winter.

Find out how you can prevent rodents from entering your shed this winter:

1. Make sure there are no holes or cracks. If there are, seal them up. Cover any entry points on the roof, doors or windows.
2. Rats and mice will find your shed even more appealing if there are water and food available. Make sure all bird seeds, pet foods, or any other food-related items are sealed in airtight containers. This includes flower seeds and grass seeds.

Remember, your pest control service includes coverage of commensal rats and mice. And your Terminix professional will be sure to inspect for signs of rodents—particularly in colder months.
