Winter is coming. Are you prepared?
With cooler weather, it's time to prepare your home or business (and shield it from unwanted rodents). When the temperature drops outside, rodents—just like us—want to find warmth. If they haven't already, they're likely to find it in your home or business space.
If you’re wondering if you need to head to Google and search for “rodent control near me,” Bustabug Pest Control can help.
Keep reading to learn about some of the most common signs of a rodent infestation—and how to get rid of these critters for good.
Seeing Rodents: One of the most obvious signs that you will need to call a professional is that you are seeing a mouse or rat in your home or on your property. Some of the most common places to find these little guys are in the kitchen, garage, basement and attic. Rodents tend to be attracted to areas that have a good food and water source. They are are just as scared of you as you are of them—so they likely will not harm you.
Seeing Rodent Damage: Though they be small, they are mighty! Rodents can cause a surprising amount of damage to your home. Rodents’ incisor teeth continuously grow, meaning they need to gnaw on things to keep them short and healthy. Their favorite things around the house to munch on are wires, cords, insulation, and even walls!
Finding Damage To Food: Like we said earlier, rodents love to be near a food source. If you find little holes chewed into your favorite snacks, or you are finding evidence of your snacks scattered in your pantry or on countertops, you might have some rodent visitors.
Spotting Rodent Droppings: Don’t eat it—these are not raisins! Mice and rats don’t care where they leave their evidence of droppings. You are likely going to see their droppings in corners and along basement walls, in the garage, in the pantry and in silverware drawers—but you could also spot them really anywhere around your home.
Finding A Nest: Rodents build nests to live and raise their young in. If you spot any nest—usually made of paper, rope, fabric or plant matter—you will most likely have a large infestation somewhere inside of your house.
Smelling Foul Odors: When rodent problems become big infestations, you will be able to smell it. Your pets might notice it before you do, so keep an eye out for them if they begin to scratch and sniff at walls or doors throughout your home.
