πŸ‚ It’s rummage season! πŸ€

As the weather cools, rats may explore new places in search of food, water, and shelter. A few simple steps can help keep your home and property less inviting this fall!

🍎 Store food and pet food in sealed containers.
πŸ—‘οΈ Keep trash in bins with tight-fitting lids.
πŸ’§ Fix leaks and eliminate standing water.
🏠 Seal gaps around pipes, doors, and foundations.
🌿 Keep yards tidy and remove clutter where rodents could hide.

🐾 Think twice before using poison. Rodenticides can harm pets and wildlife, including animals that eat poisoned rodents. Focus on prevention first, and use traps or other control methods safely when needed.

🍁 Stay one step ahead of the rummagers this fall.

🧠 World Mental Health Day | October 10

🦟 Buzz off, mosquitoes!

Think mosquito season is over because it’s October? Not quite. Warm days can still bring mosquitoes out, so keep those prevention habits going a little longer.

πŸ’§ Dump standing water
🚰 Drain anything collecting rain
🧒 Cover or turn over containers
πŸ”Ž Check your yard after rain

And while the first frost will reduce mosquito activity, it doesn't necessarily mean they're gone for good. Some mosquitoes and their eggs can survive cold weather.

A few minutes of prevention now can help keep those late-season mosquitoes from becoming a problem. πŸ‚
