Rodent Problems in The Heights: What Every Homeowner Should Know

Why Rodents Target Homes in The Heights

Rats and mice are attracted to warmth, food, and shelter. Homes with crawlspaces, attics,
and garages are particularly vulnerable. Dense vegetation and historic structures provide
additional entry points for these persistent invaders.

Common Signs of Rodent Activity

• Gnaw marks on wood, wiring, or stored items
• Droppings in pantries, cupboards, or along baseboards
• Noises of scampering, especially at night
• Evidence of nests in attics, basements, or crawlspaces

Prevention Tips for Homeowners

• Seal gaps and cracks around foundations, vents, and pipes.
• Keep food stored in airtight containers and clean up spills immediately.
• Maintain yard cleanliness, trim trees and shrubs, and remove debris.
• Inspect regularly for signs of rodents or nesting activity.

Professional Rodent Control

DIY methods may reduce immediate sightings, but long-term control requires expertise.
Licensed technicians can remove infestations safely, install barriers, and offer guidance
for ongoing prevention.
