How Foundation Cracks and Unsealed Vents Draw Rodents Into Southington Basements

When summer’s warmth fades, rodents seek places to shelter for the winter. Your home’s foundation could attract these invaders, making Southington CT rodent control vital

Of all the backyard pests that are notorious for causing discomfort during the outdoor living season, what pests come to mind easily? In our region, mosquitoes and ticks are perhaps the biggest concerns thanks to their bites and ability to transmit diseases to humans, but there are other pests that threaten your home as well. When winter arrives in Connecticut, most insects die off or go into their winter slumbers to survive. However, there are larger creatures here that remain active during this time of year. Larger animals usually aren’t on homeowners’ radar, in large part due to our confidence in a home’s ability to keep invaders at bay, so rodent problems are often a surprise. For much of the year, rodents are content to live out in nature, where they create leafy burrows, seek food, and raise their young. Winter’s temperatures change their living conditions substantially and quickly, encouraging them to seek out new homes away from the chilly weather. Because the homes we create for ourselves are sturdier and more reliable than anything found in nature, they are big targets for pests like rodents to exploit, leading to potential issues during the shoulder seasons. Rodents are adept explorers thanks to their keen noses, tiny size, and intrepid nature, so a gap in your home’s foundation is all they need to gain entry to your abode. Even if the hole is too small, these tiny mammals can easily chew through wood and other materials to widen entryways! Plus, if you have vents facing the outside, rodents can exploit these gaps in your defences, regardless if they are near the ground or closer to the roof. Rats and mice are accomplished climbers, so no place is necessarily safe.

Because rodents are such capable explorers, taking proactive measures to keep them away is essential. When these creatures gain entry, they can cause extensive damage to your home’s walls, wiring, insulation, and more, making professional help important. Fortunately, our team at Mosquito Squad Plus is a highly capable ally in the fight against rodents.
