Spring has sprung in Connecticut! The birds are singing, the flowers are blooming, and... rodents are on the move, seeking food and shelter as they emerge from their winter hideouts.
While we appreciate all creatures great and small, we don't necessarily want them setting up shop in our homes! Mice and rats are notorious for finding even the tiniest openings to squeeze through and make themselves unwelcome guests.
But don't worry, you can outsmart these furry invaders with a little knowledge and some proactive prevention.
Here are 5 vulnerable areas of your home that rodents love to target (and how ATBAY LLC can help you secure them):
1. Siding Gaps
Vinyl siding is a popular choice for homes, but those seams and corners can be an open invitation for rodents, especially near the foundation. Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as a dime! Once inside, they can cause havoc by chewing wires, insulation, and even structural elements.
At ATBAY, we've developed a unique solution for sealing these vulnerable siding gaps. Our innovative products are designed to be both effective and discreet, blending seamlessly with your siding while providing a durable barrier against rodents.
And unlike typical hardware store solutions, our products are specially engineered to allow for the natural expansion and contraction of vinyl siding. They also ensure proper water drainage, so you don't have to worry about moisture buildup.

2. Garage Doors
That gap under your garage door might seem small, but it's a rodent superhighway! Mice and rats can easily slip under the door and make themselves at home in your garage, where they can access your stored belongings, vehicles, and even your living space.
While traditional door sweeps and seals can offer some protection, they often deteriorate quickly or create an unsightly gap. ATBAY's Garage Door Guard is a game-changer, providing a durable and discreet barrier against rodents.
3. Vents & Crawlspaces
Vents and crawlspaces are essential for ventilation and access to utilities, but they can also be easy entry points for rodents. Make sure these areas are secured with rodent-proof mesh or covers. Inspect them regularly for any signs of damage or gaps, and consider having a professional seal any vulnerabilities.
ATBAY offers a range of high-quality rodent-proof materials and expertise to help you secure these critical areas.
4. Roof & Eaves
Don't forget to look up! Rodents are excellent climbers and can easily scale trees and walls to access your roof. They can then exploit damaged shingles, gaps in soffits and fascia boards, or even damaged vents to gain entry into your attic.
Regular roof inspections and maintenance are essential for preventing rodent infestations. ATBAY's expert technicians can identify and seal any potential entry points, ensuring your roof is a rodent-free zone.
5. Doors & Windows
Make sure all doors and windows fit tightly and have proper weatherstripping to prevent drafts and rodent entry. Pay close attention to gaps around door thresholds, window frames, and sliding glass doors.
And don't forget about other potential entry points like plumbing pipes, utility lines, and dryer vents.
A holistic approach to rodent-proofing is essential for keeping those furry intruders at bay.
