Seal the Deal, Stop the Steal –Keep Rodents Out for Good!

How to Minimize Rodents Between Treatments

Seal Entry Points

Rodents can squeeze through even the smallest cracks and gaps, so it's crucial to inspect your home thoroughly for openings around windows, doors, pipes, and vents. Use materials like caulk, weather stripping, or steel wool to seal these gaps and prevent rodents from entering.

Secure Food

Eliminate food sources by keeping your home clean and ensuring that food is stored in airtight containers. Clean up crumbs, spills, and food debris regularly, especially in the kitchen, and take out trash frequently in tightly sealed bags to avoid attracting rodents.

Maintain Cleanliness

Declutter areas like basements, attics, and garages, as rodents are attracted to cluttered spaces where they can hide and nest. Regularly trim back trees and shrubs around your home to eliminate potential pathways for rodents to access your property

What Rodents are in Southern Utah?

Rocky Mountain Mouse

Deer mice are small, with reddish-brown fur on their backs and white undersides. They are nocturnal and often nest in crevices, wood piles, or inside buildings.

Northern Pocket Mouse

Pocket mice have cheek pouches that they use to carry food back to their nests. They are small, with a soft, brownish fur and a white underbelly.

House mice are small, typically gray or brown with a lighter belly. They are opportunistic feeders and will eat almost anything, making them a common indoor pest.

House Mouse

This species of woodrat is smaller than its bushy-tailed cousin but still known for hoarding objects like sticks, cactus needles, and even pieces of human trash. They are nocturnal and live in burrows or nests in caves and rocks.

Western Desert Woodrat

Bushy-tailed Woodrat

Woodrats are medium-sized rodents with large, bushy tails and thick fur. They are nocturnal and often build large nests out of sticks, twigs, and other debris, sometimes inside buildings or sheds.

While technically a hare (not a true rodent), black-tailed jackrabbits are often included in discussions of desert wildlife. They have large ears and strong hind legs adapted for fast running to evade predators.

Black-tailed Jackrabbit

Cottontails have large ears and a distinctive white "cottontail" on their hind end. They are primarily herbivorous, feeding on grasses, shrubs, and cacti.

Desert Cottontail Rabbit

These rodents are medium-sized, with a characteristic bushy tail. They dig extensive burrows for shelter and are active during the warmer months.

Ground Squirrel

Kangaroo rats are small, nocturnal rodents with long, powerful hind legs that allow them to hop like a kangaroo. Their large, round tails help with balance, and they are well-adapted to dry, arid environments.

Kangaroo Rat

Voles are small, stocky rodents with short tails and round bodies. They are often confused with mice but tend to have more robust builds and shorter tails.
