Fall Rodent Prevention: Seal, Sanitize & Secure Before Winter

As temperatures drop, mice and rats seek warmth. A rat fits through a quarter-sized hole; a mouse needs only 1/4". Your attic, walls, garage are prime real estate.

Exclusion: Find & Seal Every Gap

• Foundation vents, eaves, roofline gaps
• Utility penetrations (AC, gas, electric, plumbing)
• Garage door seals, crawl space doors
• Use steel wool, hardware cloth, copper mesh, caulk, expanding foam (rodent-resistant)

Sanitation: Remove Food Sources

• Kitchen: airtight containers, daily sweep, secure trash
• Garage: birdseed, grass seed, pet food in metal bins
• Compost: enclosed tumbler, not open pile
• Fruit trees: pick fallen fruit promptly

Call a Pro If

• Droppings, gnaw marks, noises in walls/attic
• Past infestations (pheromones attract new rodents)
• You want guaranteed exclusion + monitoring
