Finding small rodents like wood mice, rats and squirrels in your home, can be worrying. These pests can cause property damage and pose health risks. To handle rodent infestations effectively, especially in urban areas like slough and surroundings, it’s important to understand how rodent control works. Identifying entry points and using the right methods are key. This guide provides valuable tips for mouse control to keep your home clean and safe for your family.

Understanding Rodent Infestations in Slough Homes

Since COVID-19 lockdown, there is approximately 40 percent increase rodent infestation in domestic properties. During lockdown restaurants and other food premises closed. Therefore, rodents came to domestic properties looking for food and shelter, particularly in cold weather. Mice can fit through tiny gap as small as one quarter of an inch, and rats can fit through half of an inch, like cracks in walls, vents, or gaps around pipes. Once inside, they reproduce quickly, worsening the infestation. It’s crucial to understand the types of rodents in your area, their behaviors, and nesting preferences to implement effective control methods.

Why Rodents Choose Your Home During Cold Months

During winter, mice, rats and squirrels seek warm spaces like your home for shelter. Mice can squeeze through holes as small as a pencil eraser and often hide in basements, attics, or wall spaces. Food stored in kitchens or pet bowls attracts them even more. Acting before winter arrives is essential for preventing rodent infestations.

Common Signs of Rodent Presence to Watch Out For

Early detection of a rodent infestation is critical. Look out for signs like small, dark droppings near food or along walls, ammonia-like odors, or grease marks from rodent fur. These indicate the presence of rodents and their common paths.
