Rodent Infestation
Due to the frequent weather changes and local construction, we have had an increase in the number of rodents searching for a new place to live. Rodents are attracted to food and water sources as well as places that are convenient for them to build nests. Seal up nesting sites and food sources outside your home. The following are additional steps recommended at the first sign of rodents:
- Clean up garbage around your house. Use a thick plastic or metal garbage can with no holes and a tight lid. The garbage can should be kept in the garage or an enclosed area.
- Keep outside cooking areas and grills clean.
- Keep bird feeders away from the house and use squirrel guards to limit access to the feeder by squirrels and other rodents. Feed only huskless items that leave less residue that can be food for rodents.
- Clean up brush and weeds around your home. Keep grass and shrubbery within 100 feet of your home well-trimmed.
- Make sure pet food is not left outside.
Do not place rodenticide baits outside bait station/container where pets or wildlife may get to them. To prevent accidental poisoning, promptly remove and dispose of dead rodents. Do not let pets wander off-leash or outside of fenced yard or home so they do not come into contact with any poison.

Here is a list of the plants and grass we used for the circle landscape: Bordeaux Dwarf Yaupon Holly, Sunshine Ligustrum, Alternanthera Yellow, Cora Red Vinca, Princess Caroline Napier Grass, Crape Myrtle Natchez 100 Gallon.
