Autumn has officially kicked in and rodents are becoming increasingly active. There are certain climates that rodents enjoy and this season means trouble.
Rodents are creatures of habit. They use the same paths or runways between harbourages and food or water. If your office or warehouse has previously experienced a rodent infestation, regardless of whether it was serious or not, it is prudent to arrange another rodent inspection.
As the weather continues to cool, rodents attempt to escape the cold from outside and into the warmer interiors of your office or warehouse.
Rodent runways that are situated outside are usually 2-3 inches wide. They appear to be smooth, hard packed trails under vegetation.
Interior runways are usually found along walls and the surfaces maybe darkened from the rodent’s oily fur.
Undisturbed cobwebs or dust indicate that the runways are not in use.
