Franklinton Wildlife Trapper Tip of the Month:
Ways Rodents Can Enter Your Home

Despite your attempts to keep rodents away, they seem not to leave. You go searching for help and you probably have read about the ways to prevent them from intruding. Sealing off possible entry is astep to take. You start sealing off all entry points, you seal off holes in doors, windows and every vulnerable location. You get to your plumbing pipe and seems not to know what to do. You begin to think that rodents can find a way through your plumbing.

The above described scenario is not far fetched in buildings that are rodent infested. Having a cozy building doesn't prevent these crafty creatures from penetrating the walls. As resourceful animals, vulnerable entry points are the targets of these creatures. Your plumbing might not look as vulnerable as doors, windows and garages. Your plumbing is still on their list. If rodents can make it into the attic, why can't they make it through your plumbing?

A plumbing is a system of drains, fittings and pipes that allow the distribution of water around the house. Before we consider how they get in through your plumbing, you might want to consider what makes it possible. Rodents are capable of entering openings that are very small, climb effectively and can chew through almost anything. Rats, a type of rodent, are very good swimmers and can jump from heights.



Chewing through pipes

Rodents gnaw for teeth growth control. With sharp incisors, they can chew through any pipe and can easily move up the pipes or across them with ease. Rodents are known to be resourceful, committed, so the thickness of your pipe and length might mean less to these creatures. If you have a chewed through pipe, do well to get a plumber to get it done as quickly as possible to reduce a possible influx of rodents.

Swimmers

The only rodent that can swim properly is the Norway rat. Although they make poor climbers, they can swim their way through your sewer and drain pipes. Most roof plumbing works as drainages. They can come in through your toilet sinks and bathtubs. You can do well to make a grate or cap over pipes to reduce the probability of rats swimming through.

Pipes that passes through the wall

A slight opening as the diameter of a little finger is enough for rodents to access your plumbing. Slight cracks in the wall that houses the pipes can make plumbing vulnerable. With very strong and sharp teeth, not even concrete can stand in their way. A pipe will easily be gnawed and then penetrated. You can use caulk covered with steel wool to block off holes in walls. You can contact a professional plumber to fix pipe cracks or simply cover it with mesh.

Air conditioner pipes

Few instances of power outage have been attached to rodents who gnaw on electric cables. Air conditioner pipes are usually perforated to allow the fixing of the AC. Such gaps can be exploited by rodents.

Conclusion

Rodents have a thousand and one means of getting into the home. Do a lot of routine check on your plumbing and you might be blocking off a spot for rodent’s infestation.
