Perseverance Pest Control Warns Residents That Indiana Winters Bring Rodents

Fishers and Indianapolis, Indiana based Perseverance Pest Control (PPC) recently issued a public reminder to take extra precautions since the winter season normally causes rodent infestation.

Rodents are known to be the most active during the fall season and as the temperature outside continuously drops, these pests are very creative in finding a way to squeeze indoors to save themselves from freezing come winter time. A hole as small as a coin is big enough for mice and rats to pass through while cracks between the floor and the crawl space is more than sufficient for them to penetrate. These pesky pests are also known to travel through sewer pipes and appear on the most unconventional places such as vents or water closets. Aside from physically seeing these critters, tell-tale signs of rodent infestation include the presence of droppings, evidence of nesting, gnaw marks on doors and furniture and damage to packaged foods and dry goods.

Hiring a pest exterminator will be the smartest thing to do if one starts to experience rodent infestation. BBB, an online complaints aggregator, is a very useful platform to guide homeowners in assessing their nearby pest control provider’s capabilities.

“Last year, even before the winter season officially started, our property had already been infested by rodents. We saw rats everywhere; from our yard, living room, kitchen and even in our bedroom,” says Matt Hall, an Indiana resident. Hall’s experience is a very common occurrence during the fall and winter seasons which is why experts strongly recommend homeowners to take precautionary measures way ahead of time.

Firstly, it is very important is to properly seal the doors and windows. Rodents can feel the warm air escaping through an opening and they can easily trace back where the air is coming from. Ensure that entryways are always locked and check that the weatherproofing on windows are not worn down and are not peeling away. It is also recommended to put screen covers on all vents because those covers prevent all type of pests from entering the house.

Keeping the house clean and orderly is a must. Even before the winter season starts, make sure that the premises are clutter-free from inside and out. Dirty basements, crawl spaces and attics attract rodents because these pests thrive on warm, dark and hidden spaces.

In addition, as much as possible, do not leave any food unattended. Wash the dishes immediately after every meal and make sure that food supplies inside the cupboards are properly stored and sealed. Cutting the food supply for rodents will definitely help a lot in minimizing their numbers.

Pest control professionals also recommend placing rodent traps along the walls and corners of the house. Homeowners can also consider bait boxes that contain rodenticide but must ensure to keep it out of reach of children and pets. However, if the infestation is already getting out of control, experts strongly advise to hire a reliable pest control company.
