Be Aware! Dengue Fever is on the rise in South FL - protect your home against Mosquitos by Scheduling your next spray
Nobody wants to be one of those unfortunate yacht owners who encounter rodents aboard their vessels. Without a good plan and help from a yacht pest control West Palm Beach service provider, it would be impossible to outwit these pesky pests. Aside from the fact that they’re extremely unpleasant, they can also become very destructive as they chew hoses to thru-hulls, as well as plastic fittings and wiring. If left unaddressed, they can even sink your yacht.
Aside from properly disposing of your garbage on a regular basis, it’s also wise to store your food in glass jars. Furthermore, vents must be covered every time you’re away. If you need the vents to stay open, you can use hardware cloth or wire mesh on the inside. Since rodents are nocturnal creatures, they like it when its dark and quiet. As much as possible, leave the bright lights and the radio on. You can also find ultrasonic mice and rat repellent devices that won’t use up much battery power. Don’t worry, you won’t be able to hear anything when you turn it on. However, it can potentially drive your dog crazy. One thing that rodents hate the most is the smell of ammonia. Try soaking a towel and leaving it out the open. Place the soaked towel on something plastic to protect your yacht from discoloration.
Don’t forget to regularly check your yacht when it’s off-season so that you can deal with possible rodent infestations before they can manage to eat through your wiring, etc. Since rodents can use fenders and dock lines as bridges, you’ll need to position your yacht in the middle of the slip. Prevent your vessel from drifting close to the dock by keeping the lines taut.
