About Mice & Rat Control
Overview of Mice and Rat Control
In the homes and businesses of New Hampshire, mice and rats often find conducive environments for habitation, particularly during colder seasons. These resilient rodents are highly adaptable, making attics, basements, and wall voids their preferred nesting sites. Seeking warmth and shelter, they exploit any accessible entry points, including gaps in foundations or openings around utility lines. Kitchens and storage areas become vulnerable to infestations as these pests are drawn to easily accessible food sources. Improperly sealed food containers and crumbs left behind can further attract mice and rats, facilitating their presence in indoor spaces.
