Proactive Steps To Keep Rodents Out With Temperature Changes

Keep Rodents Out with these extreme drop in temps  

Extreme temperatures drop, means winter pests, such as rodents can cause just as much damage to your house and your family’s health. Rodents like squirrels, mice and rats tend to head indoors when temperatures fall. Rodents will happily make themselves at home. Although mice may be cute in a pet store, they are not so adorable inside your house eating your food.  Unfortunately, rodents can transfer illnesses in several ways through bite wounds, consumption of food and/or water contaminated by their urine & droppings.

A homeowner must take some important steps to prevent rodent infestations. First of all, a homeowner must keep living spaces clean. Food droppings and other things that may accumulate in dirty living spaces attract rodents.

Preventative steps should be taken to prevent rodent’s access. When rodents can easily access the living spaces, it can be difficult to keep them out. Fill possible holes with steel wool, which rodents like mice cannot chew through.
