Now that you have discovered and found any opening holes around the house, you will then want to patch these holes with a wire mesh or fiberglass screen. First you will want to cut out the wire mesh or fiberglass screen to fit over the holes. Then you will then want to take the industrial staples, and staple or nail your wire mesh or fiberglass screen over the holes. You then might need to use some liquid nail for places the wire mesh or fiberglass screen cannot fit over. Just make sure the wire mesh or fiberglass screen is tightly covering the holes.

Once you have covered up all the holes you will then want to survey your home and yard to see if there are any tree branches hanging over your home and roof. These tree branches are a way for mice and rats to come and make way to your home. If you find any branches like this you then will want to take your tree saw and cut any hanging branches.

Note: If you have large branches hanging over your house you might want to call landscaping service for there assistants in removing the larger branches.

Depending on the type of varmint you have will depend on the trap you will need to purchase. If you do have rats your best trap for you to purchase is the “T REX TRAP.” If you have mice you could go ahead to use glue boards or your old fashion snap mouse traps. In addition to these traps you could also purchase human mouse trap such as a “Electronic Mouse Trap.”
