Rodent Control: Mice Are Most Active in the Winter

Posted on January 18, 2012

Winter is the season where rodents are most active.

Rodents are still coming in and are active in the winter.
To inspect for rodents, listen for noise in the walls and look out for droppings or chewed food wrappers found in rooms where you didn’t leave food.
Areas that are most likely to have mice are the kitchen, basement near the furnace or the garage, where they can stay warm.
A mouse only weighs about one ounce so it loses its body heat fast. Because the furnace and the kitchen are often only a few feet apart, it’s easy for a mouse, with it’s short range of about 10 feet, to grab food in the kitchen and go scurry back near the furnace.
