The most immediate reason for rodent infestations is that rats and mice are looking for warmth. Because they have so many natural predators around Central TN, they’re always on the lookout for places to hide. However, when winter comes, a simple hiding place doesn’t cut it anymore. They need to find warmth to live comfortably. Our insulated attics and walls provide a crucial source of warmth that can last them through the winter. As an added bonus, they can usually find access to food quickly once inside our homes.
