Mice and rats know when the seasons change and they adjust their lifestyle accordingly. This means it’s no coincidence you are seeing or hearing more activity this fall. Fall and winter are busy for pest control companies as rodents are seeking shelter from the cold. This is an ideal time of year to mark you calendar for regular mice and rats preventive maintenance.
While there are no “baby seasons” with mice and rats (they produce babies all year round), they certainly like to find a nice warm building to over-winter. And while they may have been present all year - they become more noticeable now.
Signs of a rodent infestation can include:
Scratching noises in walls, floor spaces and/or attics
Gnawed wires
Droppings and/or urine
Tufts of fur on concrete or plywood corners
Sawdust or musty ammonia odour
Holes in foundation, cupboards, walls
Tunnels in your yard
Mice and rats are attracted to warmth and food sources. So while you can’t control how cozy your home may seem to them, you can control other things. Proper storage of garbage, recycling, pet food and people food in sealed containers is important, as well as reducing clutter indoors and out and scheduling regular mice and rats preventive maintenance.
