During the cooler months in Florida, rodents seek safe places to hide for the winter.
Although they are quite small these critters can cause thousands of dollars worth of damage to our homes. Furthermore, wild rodents can be host to a multitude of parasites and diseases that can be transmitted to humans.
Rodent infestations are not always evident, rodents are quite sneaky and tend to hide in the home during the day oftentimes burrowing into the insulation in the attic. The rodents will typically become more active around dusk, hearing any scratching or running through the ceiling or walls is definitely a cause for concern.
Another good sign rodents may be active around the home is gnawing marks on hard surfaces around the attic, or even outside of the home. Since rodents have teeth that constantly grow, finding chewed attic trusses, fence posts, and electrical wiring is very common in areas where rodents are present.
Luckily there are many ways to help prevent this menace from plaguing your home over the holidays!
Rodents can cross braches, scale walls, and enter through holes and gaps as small as a quarter, any openings on the roof or the soffit can allow rodents to enter. By sealing these entry points we stop these pests in their tracks!
