Notice to Residents:

Living near a large body of water like the Delaware River and also near forests and fields, rodents are occasionally encountered. To prevent rodent harborage around homes and businesses, the Bucks County Board of Health recommends the following to rodent proof your property:

1. Eliminate Food and Water Sources
   Rats are primarily drawn to backyards looking for an easy meal.

• Secure Trash & Compost: Use heavy-duty plastic or metal garbage cans with locking lids. For
  compost, use tumbler bins or construct bins using 1/4inch galvanized hardware cloth. Do not put cooked food or meat in open piles.
• Remove Falling Fruit & Nuts: Clear dropped fruits, vegetables, and nuts from the ground daily.
• Manage Bird Feeders: Birdseed is a major rat magnet. Switch to spill-proof feeders, hang them in the
  open away from walls or hedges, and remove seed from the ground daily.
• Secure Pet/Livestock Food: Never leave pet food, dog waste, or livestock feed outside overnight. Store all feed in sturdy metal or heavy-duty plastic containers with tight lids.
• Eliminate Standing Water: Fix leaky faucets, empty upturned buckets, and ensure proper drainage so
  water does not pool

1. Block Hiding Spots and Access Points
   Rats are secretive and love nesting in clutter and burrowing under structures.

• Seal structural gaps: Check sheds, decks, and fencing for holes larger than a nickel. Use Rodent
  Control Fill Fabric or copper mesh to stuff crevices, then seal with an expanding foam barrier.
• Trim & Thin Vegetation: Cut back heavy ivy, dense ground covers, and overhanging tree branches
  (trim at least 2 to 3 feet away from your roof).
• Secure Under Decking: Install hardware cloth around the bottom perimeter of decks and sheds, burying the base several inches underground to prevent them from digging beneath it.

1. Traps and Repellents
   Employ traps and deterrents alongside structural prevention. Rat poison is another option, however, may be harmful to pets and other animals in the environment.

• Snap Traps: The most effective, non-poisonous method is using simple snap traps baited with peanut butter, oats, or chicken feed. Place them perpendicular to walls or fences where rats like to travel.
• Scent Confusions: Rodents rely heavily on smell. Consider planting naturally repellent herbs (e.g.,
  mint, lavender, rosemary) around your garden beds or use granular predator repellents to deter them

If you identify a rodent burrow or runway/trail, you can submit a formal complaint (with or without photographs) with the Bucks County Board of Health by following this link.
