As the cold months set in, rodents like rats and mice start looking for warm places to nest. Unfortunately, that often means your home or business.
At Pest-a-Lensie, we know the unique challenges of pest control in Cape Town during winter.
Here are our top winter rodent prevention tips to help you protect your property.
Rodents can squeeze through gaps as small as a 5-cent coin.
Check for:
Gaps under doors and windows
Holes around pipes and drains
Cracks in walls, roofs, or foundations
Seal these entry points using steel wool, silicone sealant, or weather stripping.
Rodents are attracted to easy food sources.
Do this:
Store food in airtight containers
Clean up spills and crumbs immediately
Keep outdoor bins sealed and away from walls
Avoid leaving pet food out overnight
Rodents often nest outside first, then move indoors.
Trim trees and bushes away from your house
Remove piles of wood, leaves, or garden debris
Keep storage sheds clean and rodent-proof
At Pest-a-Lensie, we supply safe, tamper-proof bait stations to monitor and control rodent activity.
These are pet and child-friendly solutions for long-term rodent prevention.
If you hear scratching in the walls, spot droppings, or see rodent activity, don’t wait!
