DANVILLE — Any pest infestation is a problem, but a rat infestation can be particularly unsettling. That’s why it’s wise to take preventative measures to keep rats out of your home. Here are two simple steps:
Keep your roofline clear of vegetation. A common point of entry for rats is the attic, but in order to enter, they have to get up on the roof. Often, they’re able to do this by climbing up tree branches or vines growing adjacent to the home. To cut off this route of access, trim back any vegetation that comes into contact with your roofline. Even if it isn’t quite touching, rats can jump, so don’t take any chances—cut those branches and vines back at least 18 inches.
Seal up exterior breaches. An even easier way for rats to access the home is via gaps and holes in the home exterior. A common example of this is crawl space vents with damaged or missing covers, which allow rats to get into the crawl space and travel undetected to the nearest interior access point. Homeowners are often unaware of such breaches for the simple reason that they don’t take time to regularly inspect their home exteriors. By inspecting your home exterior and sealing up any gaps or holes that you find, you’ll greatly reduce the chances for rats to enter your home.

Osborne spray service to learn more it's
spring time again the wind is up and
spiders become a problem one of the
biggest questions our customers have for
us is how do we help control the spiders
mice if you remember Charlotte's Web
spiders spin a web and get blown in the
wind this is how they disperse
themselves it's a phenomenon called
ballooning they float through the air
until they land in a tree or on a hit
hit a house on a hill then tend to
migrate down from the trees of the house
and into the web into the eaves and
eventually they'll set up shop by
spinning their webs they can come into
the house if they if they so choose some
of the tip I have for homeowners and I
make the suggestion to my customers if
you're in an area where you have
constant problems with spiders you
should take a broom or a Webster which I
have in my hand here once a week and go
through and knock down the web's in the
eaves and around the windows of your
home this will eliminate the webs and
the ability of the spiders to gain food
this is how we do that just look for
webs and just even if you don't see a
web I would knock down just move my
brush or the Webster around the windows
in the ease this is where the spiders
tend to congregate here we have a web
the advantage to a Webster is if you put
the Webster right in the middle of the
web and spin it it'll take up the whole
web all at once and you don't it works
quite efficiently you can get these
Webster's at home depot or any home
improvement store just work your way
around the house just a point of
interest here any true hedge or shrub or
tree or
branches reach the roof they should all
be cut back 18 inches this helps rodent
proof your house rats like to climb up
these shrubs and get on the roof if they
can get on the roof they can get into
your attic so that will help rodent
proof your house as well so once a week
if you Webster your eaves it takes about
15 minutes you'll go a long way in
keeping your house free of spiders to
