When you’re being confronted with a rodent problem, it’s best to contact a yacht pest control West Palm Beach service provider to remove and prevent these rodents and other wildlife from making their way into your yacht.
The ropes that you use to tie up your yacht at the dock are what rodents use to find their way inside, you’ll need to secure the entrance by keeping it closed off to prevent them from getting into the boat. The area around the mooring line can also be blocked by putting plastic discs called rat guards. These will serve as a barrier that will prevent these pests from entering. You have the option to make your own rat guard using a plastic bottle. Simply cut the bottom before threading the mooring line through its end. Be sure to place it in such a way that the plastic bottle’s open end faces the dock. Once a rat attempts to get in your yacht by climbing over the plastic bottle, your rat guard will spin and slip back down.
