While using baking soda can help eliminate rats, prevention is key to keeping them from returning. Here are a few tips to help you prevent a future rat infestation:
Seal All Entry Points: Inspect your home for holes or cracks, especially in walls, windows, doors, and around pipes. Seal these gaps to prevent rats from entering.
Keep Your Home Clean: Rats are attracted to food sources, so make sure you clean up crumbs, garbage, and food scraps regularly. Store food in airtight containers.
Trim Back Vegetation: Rats can use overgrown bushes, trees, or vines to access your home. Trim any vegetation that is close to your building.
Set Up Traps: In addition to baking soda, you can set up humane traps to capture and relocate rats.
