Rodents

At PESTUK Oxford rats this time of year can increase there activity within homes just like mice can as well. As the vegetation dies back and the availability of fruits and nuts gets less, the weather gets colder rodents will look for new homes and food sources this makes our homes an inviting destination for rats and mice.

People are also more likely to feed birds in the cold weather which can attract rats and mice to this delicious extra source of protein, which can then cause them to nest nearby.

Rats will normally enter a building for shelter and then venture outside for food and water. Of course if the opportunity arises for food and water within the building then they will take it. Unlike mice, rats are very suspicious of anything new placed within their territory. This can make control with baits and traps difficult for rats. With rats patience is needed plus trying to remove the existing food source.

Mice in Oxford

With the cold weather people start feeding birds tempting rodents nearer to houses and in turn rodents may get into the house living in lofts, wall cavities or between floors. Mice can survive in a loft of wall cavity without actually leaving as they will feed on insects, woodlice and seeds blown in.

Mice can extract the moisture they need from their food or from condensation on pipes. They are territorial creatures and the size of the territory will depend on the amount of food available within. If mice come across an area of high food value like a kitchen, or a garden shed then the territory size will shrink. Territory size is very important when treating mice with rodenticides.
