Why Winter is Rodent Season
Rodents are opportunistic and will seek shelter from freezing temperatures. Once inside, they can:
-
Chew through insulation, wiring, and wood, creating fire hazards.
-
Spread diseases like salmonella, hantavirus, and leptospirosis.
-
Contaminate food with droppings and urine.
Signs of Rodent Activity
-
Scratching or gnawing sounds in walls or ceilings.

Chewed insulation, boxes, or pantry items.
