Rat and Mouse Infestation Prevention for Fayetteville Homes

Small openings are enough

Mice can use surprisingly small gaps around utility lines, doors, vents, siding transitions, and roof edges. Rats often follow larger construction gaps, damaged screens, drainage routes, or vegetation that touches the structure.

Signs of activity

Look for droppings, gnaw marks, shredded material, greasy rub marks, nighttime noises, pet attention near walls, or food packages with unexplained damage.

• Store pantry and pet food in durable sealed containers
• Repair door sweeps and damaged vent screens
• Trim branches and vegetation away from walls and rooflines
• Seal utility penetrations with rodent-resistant materials
• Reduce clutter in garages, attics, and storage spaces

Pair removal with exclusion

Traps may reduce current activity, but the problem can return if entry points remain open. A complete plan identifies how rodents are moving, removes accessible animals, seals practical openings, and monitors for new evidence.
