Winter is peak season for rodent infestation in Australian homes. While you’re getting comfy inside during the winter season, these tiny little rats and mice are planning a full-blown invasion, hunting for food, warmth, and a snug place to nest. They’re not guests, and to be comfy in your own home, rodents are the trespassers, and once they sit in, they’ll start to destroy. They see your warm home, stocked pantry, and sheltered corners offer the perfect conditions for nesting, breeding, and foraging.
What can you do about it? Here’s the truth about cold weather infestations and how expert rodent control can protect your home.
You’d think the cold would slow them down, right? Nope, you’re wrong. Rodents are highly adaptable creatures. As outdoor conditions worsen, they turn their attention towards indoor environments. They will suspect your home, their own, shed, roof cavity, or even your office.
Just like you, rodents want to get out of the wind and rain. Cold temperatures drive rodents indoors. They love the warmth of heaters, insulation, appliances, and even electronics. Roof cavities, basements, and warm kitchen corners? Five-star comfort for them.
One mouse can have up to 60 babies a year. A single pair of rats can produce hundreds of offspring annually. Imagine a whole family reunion happening inside your walls. It’s unacceptable!
When the pickings get slim outside, rodents raid your pantry, garbage bins, and pet food bowls like it’s Christmas morning. Rodents become relentless.
Rodents are builders. They’ll use shredded paper, insulation, and fabrics for their own comfort. Hear them create cosy nests in roof spaces, under floors, and behind appliances.
Aside from the creepy vibes, rodents bring real problems. They create chaos. Here’s how they are dangerous little sneaky invaders:
Stop them before they make a home in your property. Let them feel that they’re not welcome. Call our Sydney Pest Crew to provide you with pest control solutions, and we can exterminate rodents from your residential and commercial property.
Want to keep rats and mice out for good? Don’t stress! You can stay one step ahead. Here’s how to show rodents the door or, better yet, never let them in.
Check for gaps around doors, pipes, vents, and windows. If there is a hole, seal it all up using steel wool or sealant work.
Keep food in airtight containers. Don’t leave pet food out overnight. Empty bins regularly.
Rodents love messy ground. Keep your home tidy by removing clutter, wood piles, long grass, and rubbish that can provide shelter.
They are needy, we know. Rodents are drawn to dripping taps, leaking pipes, and pet bowls left outside. Time to fix them.
