As the new year begins, you might be thinking about fresh starts and tackling those lingering to-do lists. But there’s one issue that may not have crossed your mind: rodents. While rodents are a year-round concern, January is a critical month to address these unwanted guests. Here’s why now is the perfect time to act.

The Winter Connection

When temperatures drop, rats and mice naturally seek warmth and shelter. Unfortunately, your home provides the perfect haven. With the hustle and bustle of the holidays behind us, rodents often take advantage of leftover food, clutter, and cozy spaces to settle in. January is peak time for rodent infestations because:

• Cold Weather Drives Activity: Rodents move indoors to escape the chill.
• Holiday Food Waste: Leftover crumbs and improperly stored food attract pests.
• Unsealed Entry Points: Small gaps in doors, windows, and foundations make it easy for rodents to sneak inside.

The Risks of Waiting

Ignoring rodent activity now can lead to bigger problems later:

• Health Risks: Rodents carry diseases such as hantavirus and salmonella, which can be transmitted through droppings and urine.
• Structural Damage: Rats and mice chew on wood, insulation, and even electrical wiring, increasing the risk of costly repairs—or worse, fires.
• Rapid Reproduction: A small rodent problem can quickly escalate, as mice and rats breed at alarming rates.

Why Prevention in January is Key
