Rats in Riverside and San Diego County During Winter
Rodents being the mammals that they are they need to keep a warm body temperature to stay alive. Which is why your toasty home is just what they are looking for when it comes to shelter this winter. (Or anytime of year for that matter) Hibernating is not something that rats do, keeping them active all year long. With the cold winter temperatures rats need to eat large quantities of food to retain their body temperature, a characteristic that drives them more indoors. Rodent Infestations are highly popular in the winter months, with rodent exclusions, attic sanctions, and rodent control services in full force in Riverside County. Infesting not only residents all though out the county, but San Diego based businesses as well.
There are a few things that will tend to drive rodents indoors such as:
Tree branches and bushes- Tree branches that expand onto the roof is like granting rodents a free path into your home. They will easily scurry on down the chimney, or attic. Always CUT BACK branches, vines, shrubs, etc.
Easy way in- Holes, or cracks in the structure of the home. Torn or missing screens. Open doors.
Pet Food- Most of the population have a pet, it’s important to avoid leaving pet food out all day long. Leaving pet food out will attract rodents.
Leaving a MESS!- Keep your home and surrounding outdoor area clutter free. Clean up spills. Toss out trash daily.
