Tips On How to Keep Rodents Out of Your Flourishing Garden

There are a few simple tips you can follow to help keep annoying rodents out of your garden. Our team of trusted professionals wants to share some of those tips with you here.

  • Get Rid of those grubs that rodents love – Grubs are one type of food source that is sure to attract rodents. With that said, in order to eliminate rodents from your garden be sure to eliminate the lawn grubs you may have in your backyard. If you are unable to kill off the grubs on your own, be sure to reach out to a professional pest control specialist who can easily get rid of them for you.
  • Eliminate outdoor shelters – It is fairly common knowledge that mice and rats typically make nest shelters in tall grass and usually make the nests out of wood piles or brush. For this very reason, you want to be sure that your lawn is mowed and trimmed down not only during the peak spring gardening season, but also during the hot summer months as well. You want to be sure to take whatever steps are necessary to keep annoying rodents from building their nests in or near to your garden. Be sure when weeding or trimming your garden that you never leave the unwanted plants lying around. You should also take steps to ensure that you store any wood chips or piles in a shed or secluded area since rodents love to build nests in these materials.
  • Make sure to keep your property clean and sanitary – The best approach to avoiding the presence of rodents in your garden or backyard is by keeping your property clean and tidy. Any type of trash will easily attract rodents. So be sure that any recycle bins and garbage bins are covered and sealed tightly so that rodents cannot get into them. You should also make it a habit to rinse out your garbage bins from time to time with a household disinfectant cleaner and a garden hose. Waste bins that are excessively dirty make for an ideal environment for rodents of all types to live and thrive.
  • Invest in mesh tubes for your garden – Annoying rodents and rats, love to dine on seeds. You can prevent them from invading your seedings by putting mesh tubes around them. These pesky critters are unable to penetrate the mesh tubes and your seedings will be safe.
  • Make certain there are no extra food sources near to your garden – Many rodents enjoy eating bird seed. If you happen to have a bird feeder near to your garden, rest assured you will find yourself faced with a rodent problem in your garden. You don’t want to invite these pesky critters in, so be sure not to put up any bird feeders in the vicinity of your garden.
