When temperatures drop, rodents and wildlife look for warm shelter, and your home is a prime candidate. Sealing up before the cold is the move.
As nights cool, mice, rats, squirrels, and other wildlife seek warmth, and an unsealed home offers it. The weeks before the cold sets in are the time to inspect the roofline, foundation, and utility penetrations and seal the gaps with branded exclusion products before anything moves in.
Inside, store food and pet food sealed, clear garage clutter that offers cover, and set monitoring so any early activity is caught fast. Wildlife already in an attic should be excluded and the entry sealed, paired with cleanup of any droppings or soiled insulation left behind.
