As we’re approaching winter, the ambient temperatures fall, especially during the night and that’s when we start to see evidence of small creatures entering our homes – uninvited, of course. Rats and mice are remarkably agile and will fit through the tiniest hole to find shelter and food. The good news is that you don’t have to endure their stays – you can get rid of them.

Why they enter

You might ask why they enter our homes during the winter and the answer isn’t rocket science at all. They come in for their basic necessities – food, shelter and a place to nest. Yes, they are looking for a place where they can have their babies and multiply. For them, it is nature. For you, it spells disaster, because they can cause havoc in your pantry, feed on what they can find and spread disease in your home.

Because it is cold outside, they need to find shelter away from the cold elements. They need a warm space where they can feel comfortable and maintain their body temperature. During winter, food sources also become scarce, and they follow their noses on the trail of food. Being so small, they crawl through tiny spaces, and they will eat whatever takes their fancy.

If it is not enough that they destroy improperly stored food items, they also look for nesting materials to raise their young. Inside your home, especially during winter, they find secure spots to build their nests and reproduce away from predators.

Why you don’t want them in your home

These rodents are destructive. They will destroy anything and everything in their quest to find food. They chew through everything, including electrical wires. Not only is that unsafe for them, but it can cause major damage inside your home. If that is not all, these rodents also leave a trail of diseases wherever they go, which include hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonellosis. They also carry parasites, like ticks and fleas, and bring them into your home where these parasites then also multiply, infecting your pets and possibly children.
