Why is Atlanta Rodent Control Urgent in the Fall and Winter?

Now that summer is approaching its final act, our thoughts begin to drift to the prospect of cooler fall days and the winter that follows. While summer has its share of pests, there are just as many in the chilly months, despite what you might think. A break from the heat will undoubtedly be nice, but there are some pests accompanying autumn that you should be aware of. In particular, rodents are a serious concern. Although most pests we think of usually involve insects, rodents are arguably an even greater threat to your health and happiness.

Atlanta rodent control is important for your home’s integrity

Rodents like mice and rats have their places in the natural world, like every organism, but the troubling fact about these tiny mammals is that they gravitate to our homes and surrounding structures. Unlike most other animals in the animal kingdom, humans are very good at creating shelters that are truly resilient against the elements and can retain heat well. Once summer’s warm temperatures start to fade, rodents will seek out our basements, walls, and any other entryways that will allow them into our shelters. This is problematic for a few reasons. Firstly, rodents are frustratingly good at wriggling through tight spaces, chewing wiring, and more. Indeed, a rodent nest can be difficult to locate and eradicate. Ideally, you’ll want to locate the rodents before they gnaw on important components of your home.

Furthermore, rodents are a source of many kinds of diseases. Despite their furry, unthreatening appearance, mice and rats are often infested with ticks and fleas, both of which are more than happy to bite humans, potentially infecting us with dangerous bacteria. For example, mice are some of the main sources of food for nymph ticks, the chief cause of Lyme disease in the United States. Should mice and rats invade your home, they could bring other nasty pests along with them, highlighting the importance of eliminating them and keeping them away from your home.
