It’s almost winter…can you believe it? It seems like just yesterday we were poolside and soon we’ll be shoveling snow. Winter has its perks, like sledding and ice skating, but it also has its downfalls – like increased rodent activity.

Consider the following winter rodent prevention tips:

• Mice want to get inside your home and they only need a very small hole to squeeze in through, so it’s critical to thoroughly inspect the exterior of your home for vulnerabilities.
• If you find holes, gaps or cracks, it’s important to seal them with a rodent-proof material that will hold up to the weather.
• You might not even realize where some of these vulnerabilities are, for example where siding meets the foundation is a common entry point that can be sealed with flashing.
• If you’re thinking this is starting to sound like a lot of work, well it is! But the good news is we offer a complete solution called WRAPS. Learn more about it here.
• Do you hear scratching or movement inside your walls or ceiling? They already made it inside! Call your local pest control professional for rodent control.
