As much as I love farm life, it comes with its hassles. Rodents are always finding their way into places they don’t belong, like the buildings on my parents’ property. I’ll share with you the 3 simple steps I told them so you can quickly and easily rid your farm of rodents too!
My parents recently told me about their rodent-infested barn. This barn is used primarily for storage on their property. They said they’d like to use whatever it was I had had such great success repelling mice and rats with, so I happily told them all about Fresh Cab Natural Rodent Repellent. I wanted to be sure they were using it in the most effective way, so I explained how Fresh Cab works by using a scent that is offensive to rodents. I told my parents it was important to place the pouches in the right areas, specifically, enclosed areas with little to no air flow for the best results.
I strongly recommend following these tips as well to mouse proof your buildings:
-
Seal possible entry points: Any hole that goes through from outside to inside and is larger than 1/4 inch (about the size of a pencil eraser) needs to be sealed. Holes and cracks can be sealed by using steel wool or wire mesh, and reinforced by caulking or placing foam insulation on top. Make sure to put a Fresh Cab pouch next to these sealed holes for added protection.
-
Protect doors: Oftentimes, mice will sneak in through open doors or cracks underneath and around doors. To prevent this from happening, install high-quality weather stripping at the base of all doors. Limit the use of any doors to these buildings if at all possible. Don't forget that you will still need to place a Fresh Cab pouch near all of the doors for extra protection in rodent prevention.
-
Remove attractants: Anything that mice and/or rats are attracted to, such as firewood, bricks, mulch, etc., needs to be stored away from the building of concern. Rodents will find and make a home out of anything. In the winter time, it is safest to keep just enough firewood for the day next to your house or building.
My parents are happy to report that the last mouse seen rummaging through their storage barn was a week ago, and they have not seen the little pest since! As long as you make sure to follow these 3 simple steps, it is easy to rodent-proof your property, and keep them out for good.
-Fight back with a natural rodent repellent and control mice in your building.
