Concerned About A Rodent Problem?
Stop Feeding Them!
I was asked to take a look at an apartment that the residents were complaining about having mice. I found this odd because the community has always been clean of rodents, except for the occasional squirrel nesting in the attic.
While talking to the resident who had a concern about the mice that they have seen and heard in the kitchen usually, I was about to get enough information to begin looking around the unit. It surely wasn't the cleanest place but I have seen worse.
In the kitchen, I wanted to look behind the refrigerator. It didn't really roll as smoothly as most do. I discovered there was a lot of food and junk behind the frig. In fact the food that was plentiful, pushing the frig back revealed why pulling it out was so difficult.
So if you want to help prevent mice from living in your unit, stop feeding them!
