How to Get Rid of Rodents in Your Garage in Riverside, CA

Homeowners in Riverside often have to contend with pesky rodents, which have a bad habit of invading our garages. Mice, Norway rats, roof rats, and squirrels all love to build their nests in garages when provided the opportunity.

Rodents can be very destructive inside your garage, chewing up insulation and stored belongings, and spreading their droppings all over the place. If you have a rodent infestation in your garage in the Inland Empire, here are some ways to get rid of them:

  • Set up traps in your garage. Many varieties of rodent traps exist, including snap traps, electronic traps, and glue traps. Make sure you purchase the correct traps for your rodent species, since mouse traps are too small for rats, while mice are often too small to trigger rat traps. Peanut butter is an excellent bait for rodent traps, while nuts and seeds often work well, too.
