What Hidden Basement and Crawlspace Gaps Allow Mice into Homes Every Fall?

Rodents, despite their small size, can cause extensive damage to your home. Fight back with Greenbay WI rodent control to keep them out of crawlspaces and basements

As a homeowner, there are plenty of tasks you have to keep up with throughout the year, including maintenance, yard work, and more. However, some of the biggest problems you could face aren’t passively getting worse; some are actively growing and becoming serious threats to your home’s integrity and cleanliness. What comes to mind when you think of household issues that worsen without quickly addressing them? From a pest control perspective, any number of home invaders could be degrading your home, but very few can match the substantial issues rodents cause when they establish themselves in basements, crawl spaces, and walls. These creatures, while perfectly happy outside most of the time, often try to find ways into homes during the shoulder seasons, when warm weather gradually cools and signals the return of winter. Autumn is when rodents often become issues in homes throughout our region, and they are likely preparing their next invasion attempt on your home soon. 

If you’ve never encountered rodent issues in your home before, there are a few things you should keep an eye out for. Perhaps the most obvious sign you have a mouse or rat issue is when you hear scratching inside your walls or under your feet. Rodents are accomplished chewers and nest builders, and they can move throughout your walls and crawlspaces with ease. Few materials can keep them at bay, and their movements through your home often result in chewed electrical wiring, damaged insulation & drywall, and urine and feces. These pests have no regard for your home’s integrity or your health, so they will continue to breed and exploit your home’s resources until you take action. At Mosquito Squad Plus, we can help with this threat.

Greenbay WI Rodent Control is Most Effective with Professional Help

Rodents signify a serious threat to your home. Once they find their way into your crawlspaces or basement, they will quickly seek paths that will lead them to the rest of your home. Often, these paths are found where construction materials meet, such as where PVC piping meets wood, concrete meets drywall, and any other part of your home that isn’t seamless. Because of their incredible chewing abilities, rodents can exploit gaps as small as a quarter or dime for entry, and they can easily widen holes for their offspring to use. Don’t let rodents run amok in your home.

At Mosquito Squad Plus, we know how seriously rodents can degrade your home, which is why we are pleased to offer powerful rodent control treatments and in-depth inspections that pair to ensure your rodent problem is a thing of the past.
