Seasonal Rat and Mouse Activity in Springfield: Homeowner Insights and Prevention Tips

As a homeowner in Springfield, it's essential to understand the seasonal patterns of rat and mouse activity to protect your property from potential infestations. At Springfield Rodent Control, we've seen firsthand how these pests can cause significant damage to homes and businesses in our area, including Downtown and Brentwood. In this blog post, we'll explore the seasonal fluctuations in rodent activity and provide valuable insights on how to prevent infestations.

Spring and Summer: Peak Rodent Activity

During the spring and summer months, rats and mice are more active as they search for food and shelter. This increased activity can lead to a higher risk of infestations in homes, particularly in areas like Grant Beach and Rountree. To prevent infestations, it's crucial to seal all entry points, including holes and gaps around doors, windows, and vents. Our Rodent Exclusion Services can help you identify and seal these entry points, ensuring your home remains rodent-free.

Common Entry Points for Rodents

Some common entry points for rodents include:

• Unsealed vents and chimneys
• Holes around pipes and electrical wires
• Gaps under doors and windows
• Unsealed crawl spaces and attics

By sealing these entry points, you can significantly reduce the risk of rodent infestations. Additionally, our Warehouse Rodent Control services can help businesses in Springfield protect their properties from rodent infestations.

Autumn and Winter: Rodent Infestations in Homes

As the weather cools down, rats and mice seek shelter in warm and cozy homes, making autumn and winter the peak seasons for rodent infestations. To prevent infestations, it's essential to maintain a clean and tidy home, store food in sealed containers, and avoid clutter. Our Mouse Infestation Treatment services can help you eliminate any existing infestations and prevent future ones.
