Rats and mice are some of the biggest pests that get into your house in the winter. They are looking for a warm, dry place to live. They will only stay where there’s plenty of food and water, so pet food and leaky pipes are bound to attract this vermin to your house. Mice contaminate your food and damage your home by eating through drywall and chewing wires. Sometimes you can prevent rodents yourself, and other times, you might need rodent control services and rodent control products to kill off an infestation.

As winter approaches, rodents can pose significant health risks for you and your family. Seeking food and warmth, these pests may find solace within your home — bringing with them a number of potentially serious diseases.

Did you know that your home can have a rodent infestation even if you’ve never seen a rat or mouse scurrying away? If you notice nesting materials like dried plants, holes in floors or walls, odd smells, or rodent droppings, you may have a problem with rodents.
