Port St. Lucie of South Florida is known for its scenic landscapes, lovely winters, and unfortunately, increased rodent activity during the colder months. Are you tired of uninvited, furry guests wreaking havoc on your winter activities or festivities? You’re not alone.
Many homeowners face the same struggle, sometimes unknowingly rolling out the welcome mat for rodents. Why are these rodents so eager to move in when the temperature drops? We’ve got the information you need in this post and we’re sharing preventative tips to help you reclaim your home. This post will discuss some eye-opening facts about rodents and practical advice.
In the winter month in South Florida, rodents look for warmth to get away from the cold. Your well-heated home is like a five-star resort for rodents. They love to take shelter and can’t resist the allure of your home. Be sure to seal any openings and declutter your personal space to keep rodents out.
Winter festivities and holiday parties are great but equally appealing to rodents as well. Your turkey dinner scraps, leftover squash or other food that is left around your kitchen is a rodent’s midnight snack. Snacks and chips left around your counter can be another great meal for rodents. Be sure to keep food properly sealed up in a container or plastic bag.
Like any good vacationer, rodents look for places with amenities, including water. A leaky pipe in your home can attract rodents into your kitchen, laundry room and bathroom. Fix leaky pipes and keep areas dry to discourage rats, mice and other rodents from coming into your home.
Now you know of the different ways that rodents find your home inviting, especially during the winter months.
Now that we know why rodents love your home, let’s discuss how to keep them out of your home. Here are basic tips, designed for homeowners who love their home and want to keep unwanted pests out!
Your beautiful landscaping can attract rodents straight to your home. Trim those branches and bushes back away from your home if they’re too close. While many homes in Port St Lucie have beautiful gardens and landscaping, too much brush can easily attract more rodents into your home.
Mulch may look good, but it’s also a rodent’s dream bed. Want a simple fix? Use crushed stone or rocks instead of mulch around your home.
Blocked gutters are a water source for pests and rodents. Keeping your gutters and roof clear of debris will help ensure that your home doesn’t turn into a water source for rodents.
