It goes without saying that when it gets cold outside rodents head indoors to look for shelter. Because of this, Maine residents need to pay close attention to their homes as we move into fall. We know it might seem a tad bit early to be discussing this given that we are a few weeks away from the official first day of autumn but already our pest control technicians out in the field are seeing signs of large infestations of mice and rats inside homes and businesses. In fact, 80% of our calls in the last few weeks of August were rodent related and we anticipate more property owners will be calling with the same concern(s).
