Cover Food

A lot of people leave food out in the open in the kitchen. For example, apples and other fruits displayed on a counter attract the rodent and make pest control extremely difficult. Cover up cereal boxes or place them in airtight containers. Place all boxes in the cupboards. Don't leave any food out on the tables or countertops.
