“Be sure to look out for any building defects, holes in pipework, gaps at the front and rear steps, damaged airbricks, large weep holes, and gaps under window ledges," he explains."Also clear out stair cupboards where rodents could make a winter nest."
"Cut a few onions into slices and spread these slices around the edge of your garden or close to any visible entry points."Robert highlights that rats are very smart beings, with research proving they're smart enough to sense any threats within their surroundings. "Just be careful not to put it close to any plants in case the bowl gets knocked over as the ammonia could kill your plants."Pest expert John explains that spiders enter the home via gaps under doors and around windows.
John explains that spiders are most commonly found in the home when the external temperatures drop and there's a lack of insects for them to feed on. "Add 15 – 20 drops of peppermint oil to a spray bottle with water and spritz this in any areas where you’ve noticed spiders in the home," he says."Fill a spray bottle with equal parts white vinegar and water and spritz the mixture around your home," he advises.Pest control expert Robert points out that spider catchers are great devices for humanely removing spiders from your home.
Robert agrees, adding: "If you feed other animals in the garden, consider using specialised feeders so that foxes can’t get to the food inside, and also cover up any sources of water."John says that to protect your garden from foxes, your efforts are best invested in fencing.
