Mice and rats aren't just an eyesore - they chew through wiring, insulation, and food storage, and they carry disease. At The Bedbugsters, we treat rodent problems with the same thoroughness we bring to bedbugs.
What Are We Dealing With?
House mice -small, gray brown, active year-round, especially fall/winter
Roof rats & Norway rats - larger, more destructive, often nest in attics, crawlspaces, or woodpiles
Why Rodents Are a Problem
Gnaw through wires, wood, and pipes - a real fire and structural risk
Contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine
Reproduce fast - a few mice can become dozens within months
How Do They Get Inside?
Gaps as small as a dime around pipes, vents, and foundations
Garage doors, crawlspace vents, and rooflines
Especially common in cabins closed up between guest stays
What We Do About It
Inspection to find entry points and nesting/travel signs
Exclusion - sealing the gaps that let them in, not just trapping
Targeted trapping and monitoring, with follow-up checks
What You Can Do
Store food in sealed containers
Keep firewood and debris away from the foundation
Report droppings or gnaw marks early
