  3. Pest Control and Rodent Behavior Rodents are resilient creatures that can adapt environments, but they are also highly sensitive to changes in weather. to different In colder months, rodents seek warmth and shelter, making homes an attractive option. During warmer months, they may venture outdoors in search of food and water, but they still seek refuge indoors when temperatures rise too high. Temperature and Humidity Temperature and humidity levels play a significant role in rodent activity. In colder weather, rodents seek shelter indoors to escape the cold and stay warm. This is why homeowners often notice an increase in rodent activity during the fall and winter months. Similarly, high humidity levels can drive rodents indoors, as they seek shelter from damp conditions. Rain and Flooding Heavy rain and flooding can also impact rodent behavior. When outdoor areas become waterlogged, rodents may seek higher ground, including homes and other structures. Flooded sewers and drainage systems can force rodents out of their usual habitats and into residential areas in search of dry shelter. www.mdkpest.com

  4. Food Availability Food availability is another factor that influences rodent activity. During periods of drought or scarcity, rodents may become more aggressive in their search for food, leading them to venture farther from their nests and into residential areas. Conversely, abundant food sources, such as overflowing garbage cans or improperly stored food, can attract rodents to homes regardless of the weather. Preventing Rodent Infestations To minimize the risk of rodent infestations, homeowners can take several proactive measures: 1. Seal cracks and gaps: Rodents can enter homes through small openings in walls, windows, and doors. Seal these gaps with caulk or steel wool to prevent entry. 2. Keep food sealed: Store food in airtight containers and clean up spills and crumbs promptly to eliminate potential food sources for rodents. 3. Maintain cleanliness: Keep your home clean and clutter- free to reduce hiding spots for rodents. Regularly dispose of garbage and recycling, and keep outdoor areas tidy. www.mdkpest.com

  5. 4. Trim vegetation: Trim trees and shrubs away from your home to prevent rodents from using them as pathways to access your property. 5.
