Rodents

The Perfect Season for a Rodent Inspection

Rodent infestations are a serious problem for many homeowners. Unfortunately, rodents can thrive in any season around here, which makes it difficult to know when to schedule a rodent inspection from Residential Inspector of America. So, what time of year for something like this? Let’s take a look at some of your options.

Spring

Spring is one of the best times to schedule a rodent inspection. With newly blooming flowers and warmer weather, rodents become more active and start breeding at an exponential rate. Rodents are actively seeking food and new nesting sites, so it's essential to catch them before they make themselves cozy.

Summer

Summer is a prime season for rodents, as the weather is perfect for them to reproduce, eat, and nest. The increase in rodent activity makes it an ideal time to plan a professional inspection. Remember: Early detection can prevent an infestation from taking place and prevent serious health risks to your family.

Fall

Fall is a time when rodents are in search of food sources in preparation for the colder months. They will seek out warmth, shelter, and a reliable food supply, which usually includes homes. Scheduling a fall rodent inspection can help identify any weaknesses in your home's structure, such as cracks or gaps, that can allow rodents to enter.

Winter

Winter can be challenging for homeowners when it comes to controlling rodents. Additionally, rodents have bred significantly in preparation for winter, increasing the likelihood of an infestation. Scheduling an inspection in winter is crucial as it will help you detect early signs of rodent activity and prevent it from growing.
