To prevent further infestation, seal the holes with caulking, fine mesh or steel wool.<\/p>\n<h2>How to prevent the appearance of pests?<\/h2>\n<p>To ensure a pest-free home, constant vigilance is essential. Not only should you regularly apply the garlic repellent spray, but it is also essential to maintain impeccable hygiene. Eliminate potential food sources for rats and insects by immediately cleaning up crumbs and food debris, and ensure trash cans are securely closed and emptied regularly.<\/p>\n<h2>Use plants as natural repellents<\/h2>\n<p>In addition to these measures, consider additional natural solutions to strengthen your home\u2019s protection. For example, plants like mint and basil, placed around entry points, can deter insects with their strong aromas. For rats, a cat can be a great natural ally to keep them at bay.<\/p>\n<h2>Improve your home security<\/h2>\n<p>If the infestation persists despite your efforts, consider strengthening your home\u2019s physical barriers. Make sure windows and doors are well sealed and that holes or cracks in walls, ceilings and foundations are sealed. Using caulking, fine mesh or steel wool to seal these openings can prevent pests from entering. This proactive approach not only reduces the risk of infestation, but also helps to insulate your home thermally and acoustically.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Do you hear scratching noises at night?
