Keeping Your Home Rodent Free

Keeping Your Home Rodent Free

Rodents are a problem not just because they can destroy personal property and components of a home's structure, but also because they can spread serious disease to humans and their pets. 





What to do to prevent rodent infestation.


1.  Keep food in thick plastic or metal containers with tight fitting lids.


2.  Clean up spilled food right away, and wash dishes and cooking utensils soon after use.


3.  Keep outside cooking areas and grills clean.


4.  Keep compost bins as far away from the house as possible


5.  Set up bird feeders away from the house.  Utilize guards to limit access to the feeder by squirrels and other rodents.


6.  Always put pet food away after use and do not leave pets' food bowls out overnight.


7.  Use thick plastic or metal garbage cans with tight fitting lids


8.  Dispose of trash and garbage on a frequent and regular basis, and eliminate clutter in and around the property to discourage nesting.


9.  If rodents or their droppings are discovered on surfaces, such as countertops and tables, us the strongest, non-damaging cleaner possible to disinfect the area, such as bleach.


10.  Plug up rodent holes with steel wool to prevent them from chewing their way through and back into the living space, but remember that this is only a temporary fix.


**  Rodent droppings should be cleaned up while wearing a face mask and gloves because disturbing large quantities of fecal matter can cause it's dust  to become airborne, which can result in respiratory irritation and even illness.  Afterward, sterilize the area thoroughly.  Also, it is wise to contact a professional exterminator because rodents reproduce QUICKLY.

Talking to the Right Lender and Pre-Approval

It's Your Advantage - Start Right, Get the Details
Technology has certainly streamlined the home buying process and introduced things that help purchasers make better decisions. Buyers have enthusiastically embraced video tours, digital signatures and the enormous amount of information available about a home, neighborhood, schools and neighbors.
The ironic thing is that buyers are ignoring the one single thing that can help them secure the “right” home. Talking to a lender or using a financial calculator is not pre-approval.


Pre-approval requires written verification on employment and income and ordering a credit report for the purpose of obtaining a mortgage. A mortgage credit score is different than what a person might see from credit reporting websites. 

Pre-approval gives buyers the confidence to know the amount they can borrow which can result in bargaining power when dealing with a seller or competing against another offer. Transactions can close quicker once a buyer has been pre-approved.
If any issues are discovered in the initial process, the purchaser and lender will have more time to correct them compared to trying to get it done during the loan approval period as stated in the sales contract.  Most lenders best interest rates are only available to the best borrowers. You might get approved on a loan but at a higher rate than you expected which could make a significant difference in the monthly payments.
The “right” home without financing will never have the buyer’s address. Getting pre-approved with a trusted mortgage professional is one of the first steps in the buying process. It can definitely be an advantage that will benefit you in negotiations and ultimately, during the time you own the home.
