September's pest of the month is the rodent. 🐭
As temperatures start to drop, mice and rats begin actively scouting for a warm place to spend the winter — and a house with food, shelter, and a few unsealed gaps looks a lot better than a cold field.
Here's what to know this month:
🔲 Rodents can squeeze through openings as small as a dime (mice) or a quarter (rats)
🔲 They're most active at night — scratching in walls or attics is often the first sign
🔲 A single pair can produce dozens of offspring in a season if left unaddressed
🔲 The scouting phase — right now — is the easiest time to stop them
Pest Authority's rodent program is built around this exact window: inspection, exclusion, and monitoring before they move in for winter.
