Rodents in the cold season: how to protect yourself from mice and rats in your home and business premises

Why do rodents increase in winter?

When temperatures drop below freezing, mice and rats instinctively seek out warm, safe places for food and shelter. They most often end up in:

  • basements, warehouses and garages;

  • kitchen and heating rooms;

  • food warehouses or production facilities.

Just a few rodents can spread quickly and cause serious problems—from food contamination to electrical damage or even fire hazards.

How to recognize the presence of rodents?

You should be suspicious if you notice:

  • small traces of feces or bite marks;

  • specific, pungent odor;

  • sounds in the walls or ceiling at night;

  • torn insulation or cardboard.

If you recognize at least one of these signs, it's time to take action.

Preventive measures against winter

  1. Seal all cracks and openings , especially around pipes and the bottom of doors.

  2. Store food in sealed containers , do not allow crumbs to accumulate.

  3. Check the garbage containers – they must be leak-proof.

  4. Use traps or ultrasonic devices to repel rodents.

However, if a rodent population is already established, prevention alone will not be enough.
