While rats and mice will not hibernate for the winter, they will seek shelter food sources and water.

 

One of the biggest issues with rodents especially in the cold weather temperatures of January is that they will find a commercial structure or residence to settle in for the winter. Once inside they can do a lot of damage if they are able to expand to a full infestation.

 

Unfortunately for homeowners there are a number of ways that rats and mice can enter a home. Through openings in the roof, squeezing in holes along plumbing and utility penetrations, and under doorways.

 

Doorway openings can be permanently protected with the use of Burrtec’s Ratshut.

Realtor posted an article recently mentioning that every room needs its own form of rodent control and it’s very true!

 

 

The gaps, opening and needs vary from room to room so the suggestions for protection differ a bit. According to the article, here are some common-sense steps to take to hinder insects or rodents from invading:

 

• Store food in airtight containers.
• Check the expiration dates of cereal and other dried food items, and discard expired items to prevent infestations.
• Keep your counters and floors clean and crumb-free.
• Regularly empty garbage cans.
• Deep-clean underneath appliances to remove dust and crumbs that may have fallen.
• Check for leaky sinks to deter pests seeking moisture.
• Inspect boxes, bags, and other grocery carriers thoroughly for signs of pests before bringing them in.
