Keep Rodents Out During Winter Months
- Make sure the underside of the flashing that covers the air conditioning conduits to the attic is sealed. This is one of the most common residential entry points for rodents in the Southeastern states.
- Check the edges of the garage door to make sure there are no gaps or openings.
- Seal off openings around pipes with sheet metal or concrete.
- Block all possible rodent entry points such as the bottom of doors, pipe entry holes, ventilation pipes, roof vents and eave vents.
- Pick up any trash or debris around the outside of your home that could provide a shelter for rodents.
- Rodents are always on the lookout for food. Keep garbage cans sealed and eliminate any areas of standing water. Do not leave open food items out including pet food.
Rodents can squeeze through any opening their heads can fit through. For mice that can be an opening as small as ¼ inch! Eliminating all possible entry points is key to keeping rodents out.

Proper Trash Disposal
Students should familiarize themselves with the trash collection services provided by your residential facility, and the procedures may be different from what they do at home. Remove trash regularly from your dorm, so that trash doesn’t accumulate and attract unwanted pests.
Keep a Clean Dorm Room / Apartment
In a small dorm room, tiny messes add up fast. Unfortunately, food crumbs and clutter create a suitable environment in which pest populations thrive. Encourage roommates to work out a cleaning schedule that ensures basic tasks such as sweeping and vacuuming are done regularly.
Proper Food Storage
Many dorms allow small kitchenettes and mini-refrigerators so that students have access to a quick meal when they cannot get to the cafeteria. For pest prevention, store dry goods in airtight containers made from hard metal or plastic that stops mice and cockroaches from being able to access the contents.
