Why Rodents Are Considered a Pest
Rodents such as rats and mice are considered pests because they leave destruction in their wake. They chew holes through wiring, walls, pantries, and overall ruin your food supplies by leaving excrements on them.
Moreover, they are a hazard to public health, as they carry more than 35 diseases. This includes the Hantavirus, Salmonella, LCMV, and more. The disastrous Black Plague was also believed to have been spread by rats.

Tips and Advice
Rodents can be prevented from entering your home with just a few steps. Here’s what you should do.
- Keep Food Sources under a Lid: If you have grains, pet food, or other items in storage, make sure to keep them sealed under a lid. This will prevent rodents from coming for your pantry.
- Keep Things Clean Underneath Trees: Rodents can also be attracted by fallen fruits underneath trees. Make sure to remove dropped fruit to prevent them from gathering.
- Get a Cat: Cats are natural enemies of rodents. They don’t even need to be good hunters. Their scent will usually be enough to prevent the mice from coming near your home.
- Trim the Shrubs and Bushes: Rodents use the shade of bushes and shrubs to get into your home. To prevent them from entering, you might want to keep the shrubs in your yard nicely trimmed.
- Plant Mint: Rodents naturally hate the scent of mint. To keep the rodents outside your yard, you may want to plant some mint in your flower garden. If you have mints in the attic, rub some peppermint essential oil on the beams.
- Place Mouse Traps: There are all kinds of mouse traps that you may use, from the classic snap mouse trap to catch traps that only capture the mouse. The second is a PETA-friendly one that lets to release the mice back in the wild.
- Remove Entry Points: Rodents might have entry points that they use to get into your home. Find out where they are and seal them.
- Keep the Home Clutter-Free: Rodents love cluttered areas, as they offer them plenty of opportunities to hide. Keep the house clean to make your home less attractive to rats and mice.
- Seal the Trash Can: Like almost every pest, rodents love raiding trash cans. Put a lid on your trash can so that the mice cannot get inside.
When everything else fails, you should employ pest control. They will know what pest control substances to use in order to keep the rodents away.
