Rodent Information
What foods bring rats into a yard?
• Garbage that rats can get into, like garbage cans
with loose lids, plastic or paper bags and litter.
• Food for pets and birds that has not been eaten.
Birdseed on the ground, pet food in pet dishes, breadcrumbs,
etc.
• Fruits and berries that have fallen to the ground.
• Compost pile that isn’t (do not put meat,
fish, poultry or dairy in compost)
• Dog droppings
Do not give food and shelter to these most unwanted guests!
• The time to act is before the signs (droppings)
of rat or mouse.
• Stack fire wood 18 inches off the ground and away
from all buildings.
• Birdhouses and seed should be on poles and in
trays rats can’t get.
• Keep garbage can lids closed tightly.
• Plant bushes so they will stay at least three
feet from your house.
• Keep yards and alleys clean. Remove all junk and
debris.
• If you feed them, they will stay. Pick up fruit
and vegetables in your yard.
• Use only rodent resistant composters.
• In basements keep any food in closed containers
that rats can’t chew through.
• Cover all openings to your house. Rats can get
into very small places.
Dead Rats
• Dead rats must first be wrapped in newspaper,
or placed in a plastic bag before putting it in a tightly covered
garbage can.
• Injured or sick rats must be killed then wrapped
and put in the garbage can. Try not to touch the dead rat. Use
gloves if possible.
• Wash your hands with hot water and soap after
getting rid of the dead rats.
