装原材料如大米、小麦等的容器应加盖严实，保持干净。在食品运输或加工过程中，任何洒落在室内外的食物都要清理干净。老鼠是从室外进入屋内的，因此要注意检查外墙。可用小石子铺上地面以阻止草木生长，长出的草要剪短，使老鼠无藏身之处。
Check that doors and windows are completely closed. Also any hole that might allow pests to enter a building should be filled. Rats can enter through a hole the size of a coin. A mouse can pass through a hole half that size.
门窗要经常检查，确保严实无缝，任何老鼠可能钻进来的洞都要堵上。田鼠可从一个硬币大小的洞钻进屋内，而半个硬币大小的洞则可让家鼠钻进来。

管理者应当给员工列出需要采取的鼠害防治措施。这将有助于鼠害防治工作，也便于员工做好随时检查的准备。大多数国家都有食品药品管理局或类似的机构，其职责是在全国范围内加强执法，负责制定毒鼠药和杀虫剂的使用条例。食品储存、加工或销售单位也必须遵循国家和当地制定的健康法规。大多数相关政府部门或食品药品局都建有网站，提供有关食品安全政策等信息，人们可以便捷地获取这些信息。
