How to Keep Rats Out of Your Yard
If you notice rats or mice around your home, they may eventually find their way inside. To prevent this, it’s essential to reduce their presence on your property. Taking proactive steps outside can help lower the risk of rodents entering your crawl space, walls, or attic.
Why Are There Rats In My Yard?
Yards can often provide shelter and food for rodents. These spaces commonly include cars, woodpiles, sheds, and piles of yard waste. Your property can serve as a safe haven since there are many natural predators in the Manhattan, Kansas City Metro, and surrounding areas area. When rodents live in your yard first, it is likely they will move inside your home eventually for better shelter and resources.

How To Keep Mice Out Of Car Engines
The colder season in Manhattan, Kansas City Metro, and surrounding areas will often lead rodents to live in the engine compartments of vehicles. If you notice a foul odor in your vehicle’s ventilation system or you notice droppings inside, they are almost certainly living in it.
There are several natural deterrents you can place in your vehicle to help limit rodent infestations, including cedarwood, peppermint oil, or even dog hair inside. You can also place mouse traps in your car to catch them when they are on the move. Keeping your car hood open can make it so the engine is too cold for the rodents to be comfortable in.
