Dog food is the number 1 rodent attractant.<br \/>\nTransfer dry food into airtight glass, metal, or plastic containers to protect it from moths, weevils and small beetles.<br \/>\nLook closely to identify tiny cracks in the walls, windows, doors, and around plumbing and electrical wires. Seal them with caulk or weatherstrip so rodents and pests can\u2019t get in.<br \/>\nFix any leaks. A leaky faucet or water seeping indoors will encourage critters like spiders, ants and cockroaches to come in and stay awhile.<br \/>\nSpray the insides of your dresser or wardrobe with a vinegar-based cleaner. Then wash it with a warm soap solution. Remove any drawers before you begin cleaning, the gap between the wall of the wardrobe and the shelves is a moth\u2019s favorite place to hide.<br \/>\nWant more tips? Check out the full list here.
