Rodent Exclusion for Bay Area Homeowners
Rodents Are a Common Problem
Rodent infestations in homes are relatively common, affecting millions of households annually. The prevalence of rodents, particularly mice and rats, in residential settings can vary based on several factors such as geographic location, housing conditions, and seasonal changes.
- In the United States, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) reports that approximately 29% of Americans have experienced a rodent problem in their home at some point.
- Urban areas tend to have higher incidences of rodent infestations due to higher population densities and more available food sources.
- Rodent activity often increases in the fall and winter as they seek warmth and food indoors. But spring and summer can also see increased activity, particularly in homes with accessible gardens or food sources.
Rodents Find Many Entry Pathways
Rodents can enter homes through many pathways. Most often there is a small opening between wood panels, a tear in foundation vent covers, gaps around plumbing, or openings in the attic or crawl space that provide easy access. Once a rodent has found entry, they establish a homestead and start bringing in nesting material and food. Next they look for a mate and start producing offspring.
- Female rats typically give birth to 4–7 litters of 5–12 pups per year
- Litters occur every 21–28 days
- Rats can become pregnant again less than 48 hours after giving birth
- Rats can start having babies before they are one month old
