Sometimes, before the D-Day of the move, you can first put your belongings in boxes. In a second step, you store these packages in a storage box for example while waiting for the day of the move to arrive. Meanwhile, intruders in general and in this case rodents will probably find it appropriate to get into your business to sow a big mess.
To this end, what techniques can be used to effectively control these pests?
Focus on the answer to this question, we’ve taken a look at how to avoid rodents when you move.
Pack your items in plastic devices with airtight lids
To effectively prevent rodents from entering your clothing,it would be very beneficial to store them in properly closed plastic bins. This is a safer alternative compared to a storage carton when moving. In other words, by storing your belongings in an airtight plastic device, it’s almost impossible for a rodent to access your documents or clothing.
However, if you necessarily opt for cartons, it is advisable to make sure to get very resistant cartons. Indeed, you should not use a cardboard that is already dilapidated or torn. This would make it easier for a mouse or cockroach to access the inside of the cardboard. Also, if you got the cartons free of charge from a restaurateur, for example, pay attention to fat stains or food crumbs that might attract rodents.
Keep your food away from your storage space
Generally, food is the element that attracts rodents to a place. The probability is therefore high that if you put your food in the same wake as your business, the critters will join this space.
To do this, keep objects away from your food. You should also clean any object that has been in contact with your utensils or kitchen furniture. Simply put, there is no need to remember that a smell or a snippet of food can attract rodent vermin.
Keep furniture a few inches from the ground
Keeping furniture out of the ground prevents some small intruders from hiding in furniture. To achieve this, it is recommended to keep boxes, mattresses, furniture, etc. at a distance of ten centimetres from the ground. This is also useful for minimizing damage from leaking pipes, for example, or from flooding by the ground. In addition, we recommend that you use pallets or a shelving on which you will place your objects.
Cover upholstered furniture
Bugs are animals that like to live at the expense of humans. So one of the prime places is the mattress. So when you store your mattresses in your box before moving,be sure to cover them with a plastic mattress cover. If you choose plastic sheeting to cover your furniture, make sure it is not placed tightly. Otherwise, the tarpaulin may absorb moisture from it and then damage your furniture.
Deterrence techniques
Here, we offer two techniques that will allow you to deter rats or mice from accessing your business.
The technique of mechanical rat traps
There are several types of mechanical rat traps. These include:
- rat faggot:
- metal cage traps;
- tooth traps.
The mission of this technique is to eliminate or capture live rats that will try to gain access to the storage space. It should also be noted that some of these traps are only used to capture the animal. After that you can release them into the wild.
The natural deterrent technique
Although the use of chemicals is effective, these products give off a very unpleasant antimite smell to your clothes. To do this, we recommend that you start by putting the storage space clean. Then remove all kinds of foreign odor using vinegar and baking soda and then place cedar balls at strategic locations. This keeps the mothsaway. Finally, also put cotton balls soaked in peppermint essential oils in theroom.
