Winter Pests – Oh the Weather Outside is Frightful
- Keep all doors closed whenever possible.
- Inspect and repair any exposed entry points like doors, windows.
- Small holes and gaps need to be sealed with caulk and steel wool.
- Mice can fit through an opening as small as a bottle cap.
- House mice prefer to nest in dark, secluded areas.
- House mice are also known to spread diseases and contaminate food.
- Keep areas clear and store boxes off of the floor because mice like to hide in clutter.
- Regularly inspect the home for signs of mice, such as droppings, gnaw marks and damaged food.
- Don’t forget, invasive pests want to be indoors during the winter for the same reasons you do. It is important to perform a comprehensive winter pest control treatment to insure that your home is protected.
