Few people really like rats or mice, and no one wants
them in their house. Rodents live everywhere outside and could enter at any time, but fortunately, this does not occur often. Usually, most home invasions occur in the fall, not because of cooler weather, but because the seeds and plants on which rodents feed outside are gone. Rats and mice must then seek
new food sources. Unfortunately, one of these sources may be your home. Rats are excellent climbers
and are capable of gaining entry through holes around soffit vents and around cables entering the
building, through holes in gable vent screens, and through turbine and box vents on roofs. Many garage doors on homes allow enough space for rats to fit underneath, as well.
