Keeping Rodents Out This Fall With Cypress Creek Pest Control

Fall is a beautiful time of year, but it also signals the season when rodents seek warmth and food inside our homes. At Cypress Creek Pest Control, we understand the importance of keeping your home rodent-free. Here’s how you can protect your home this fall with our expert tips and services.

Why Fall Invites Rodents Indoors

As temperatures drop, rodents like mice and rats start to look for warm places to nest. They are not only a nuisance but can also cause significant damage to your property and pose health risks. Their persistent gnawing can damage electrical wiring, insulation, and even structural components of your home.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation

Before you can effectively prevent rodents, you need to know the signs of an infestation:

• Droppings: Small, dark droppings, particularly in cupboards, under sinks, and along baseboards.
• Gnaw Marks: Chewed furniture, wires, and food packaging.
• Nests: Shredded paper, fabric, and other materials gathered in hidden areas.
• Strange Noises: Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings, and attics.
• Tracks: Dusty footprints or tail marks along walls and floors.

How to Keep Rodents Out

1. Seal Entry Points

Rodents can squeeze through surprisingly small openings. Inspect your home for gaps or holes in walls, foundations, and around doors and windows. Use caulk, steel wool, or hardware cloth to seal these entry points.

2. Keep Food Secure

Rodents are attracted to food sources. Store food in airtight containers and keep your kitchen clean. Don’t leave pet food out overnight, and ensure garbage bins are tightly sealed.

3. Maintain a Clean Environment

Clutter provides hiding places for rodents. Keep your home tidy and organized, and remove any piles of newspapers, cardboard, or other materials that rodents could use as nesting sites.

4. Trim Vegetation

Rodents can use overhanging branches and dense shrubs to gain access to your home. Keep trees and shrubs trimmed back from your house and maintain a neat yard.

5. Regular Inspections

Conduct regular inspections of your home, especially in attics, basements, and crawl spaces. Look for any new signs of rodent activity and address them promptly.
