As the cold months roll in and temperatures drop, many homeowners unknowingly become hosts to unwanted guests—rodents. Rats and mice don’t hibernate; instead, they seek warmth, food, and shelter, making your cozy home the perfect winter retreat. Unfortunately, these small invaders bring more than just inconvenience—they carry health risks, cause structural damage, and can be very difficult to eliminate once they've settled in.
At PestControlServiceLimited.com, we understand the seriousness of winter rodent infestations. That’s why we’re offering free home inspections this season—to help you identify early warning signs, prevent infestations, and keep your home protected before the problem escalates.
During the warmer months, rodents are content to live outdoors, nesting in burrows, trees, and hidden natural habitats. But when winter arrives, their food sources diminish, and outdoor conditions become harsh. At this point, they start looking for easy access into homes and businesses.
Common entry points include:
Cracks in foundations or walls
Gaps under doors and around windows
Utility line openings and pipe entry points
Roof vents and attic spaces
Mice can squeeze through holes as small as a dime, and rats can fit through openings the size of a quarter. This means even the tiniest structural vulnerability can become an open invitation.
Rodents aren’t just annoying—they’re dangerous. Here’s what makes them a serious threat:
Rodents carry and transmit various diseases, including:
Hantavirus
Leptospirosis
Salmonella
Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCMV)
Their droppings, urine, and saliva can contaminate food and surfaces, posing serious health risks to you and your family.
Rodents constantly chew to keep their teeth from growing too long. This behavior leads them to gnaw on:
Electrical wires (causing fire hazards)
Insulation
Wood framing
Water pipes and plastic
Over time, a rodent infestation can cause thousands of dollars in property damage.
Rodents breed quickly. A single pair of mice can produce dozens of offspring within a matter of months. What starts as a small problem can explode into a major infestation in no time.
Early detection is key to effective rodent control. Be on the lookout for these common signs:
Droppings in cupboards, drawers, basements, or attics
Scratching or gnawing noises in walls or ceilings
Grease marks or smudge trails along baseboards
Chewed wires, cardboard, or insulation
Nesting materials like shredded paper or fabric
A musty or ammonia-like odor in enclosed spaces
If you notice any of these warning signs, it's time to act.
