When rats or mice are an issue in your yard, there is a great possibility that they will end up inside your home. To prevent rodents from entering your home, it’s crucial to implement rodent exclusion efforts on the outside of your home. Taking these measures can lower your risk of having mice and rats make nests in your crawl spaces, walls, or attic.
Why Are There Rats In My Yard?
Oftentimes, yards will offer exactly what rodents need – shelter and food. Should these conditions be present, rats and mice will stay as long as they are ‘welcome.’ These rodents face many natural predators in Louisiana, which is why they will look for safe places to nest, including sheds, cars, piles of yard waste, and woodpiles. When a yard becomes a reliable nesting location, it is easier for rodents to eventually move indoors.

How To Keep Mice Out Of Car Engines
Mice and rats will commonly nest in the engine compartment of vehicles during the colder months. One sign of mice infestation in your vehicle is a bad odor from your car’s ventilation system. Another obvious sign includes noticing mouse droppings inside your vehicle.
To repel these rodents from your vehicle, you can apply natural deterrents like peppermint oil, cedarwood, or even dog hair inside your car. Another more aggressive method is setting up mouse traps. If you are open to the idea, you can also keep the hood of your car open as the cold temperature would deter mice from feeling comfortable.
