While rats and mice are seeking shelter in the winter months, the summer months are by far the most active period of the year.

One of the reasons that pest control technicians are so busy in the summer fielding calls about rats and mice is because trash cans are full, many times they are not properly closed, and thus food sources are available to rodents.
In addition, problems with plumbing usually occur during summer months meaning water sources are available. Also, food is plentiful during summer when many people eat in several places like the patio or deck vs just the kitchen table during winter.
