Starve Them
The more difficult it is for rodents to access food inside your house, the more likely they are to stay away. Of course, this is easier said than done. Rodents can make a meal of almost anything. Keep all the trash inside your home in sealed containers.
For all the food items in your cabinets or even those on the counter tops, get properly sealed hard plastic containers. This way, the rodents cannot smell them. It’s a simple tip to prevent rodent infestation but an effective one.
You also need to clean your house regularly. Any leftover food in the kitchen, in the dining room or anywhere else in your house can attract rodents. Leave nothing for them to even nibble on.
