Daily habits to avoid rats

Start with a night kitchen reset. Keep food, water spills and hiding places from building up.

Close the waste bin

Clear food scraps and wipe the rim. Keep rubbish inside a sound closed bin until collection.

Put food in closed containers

Store rice, flour and snacks with tight lids. Check the shelf for spilled grain.

Clear uneaten pet food

Wash bowls after meals and store pet food securely. Keep necessary drinking water available to pets.

Check leaks every week

Look beneath the sink and near taps. Report drips and dry avoidable spills while waiting for repair.

Inspect balcony and gaps

Clear clutter weekly. Recheck doors, mesh and repaired service openings monthly; arrange repairs when needed.

Add a supporting deterrent

Use EchoRepel for rats and mice alongside food storage and repairs. Get professional help for persistent activity.
