    Winter Rodent Control in Rochester: What Homeowners Should Know

    by Renee Bates and Justin Tubbs


    During winter in Rochester, it’s common for homeowners to hear scratching sounds inside walls or ceilings. Those noises often mean mice have found their way indoors. As temperatures drop in late fall and early winter, rodents search for warm, sheltered spaces to survive the cold months. Homes provide the perfect environment, with food, water, and insulation for nesting.Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime, entering through gaps near foundations, vents, utility lines, or under garage doors. Once inside, they often settle in insulation, behind drywall, or

    Winter Rodent Control in Rochester: What Homeowners Should Know

    During winter in Rochester, it’s common for homeowners to hear scratching sounds inside walls or ceilings. Those noises often mean mice have found their way indoors. As temperatures drop in late fall and early winter, rodents search for warm, sheltered spaces to survive the cold months. Homes provide the perfect environment, with food, water, and insulation for nesting.
    Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime, entering through gaps near foundations, vents, utility lines, or under garage doors. Once inside, they often settle in insulation, behind drywall, or under kitchen appliances. Their nesting materials may include shredded paper or fabric, which they gather from attics or basements. Over time, an unnoticed mouse family can multiply quickly, turning a minor nuisance into a full infestation.
    Rochester’s older housing stock adds to the challenge. Many homes built decades ago have small cracks or deteriorating mortar that create easy entry points. Even newer houses can have gaps around pipes or unsealed siding joints that mice exploit when cold weather arrives. Because winter is long and severe in upstate New York, these rodents can remain indoors for months if not addressed promptly.
    Sealing every potential entry point is the most effective way to prevent winter mice infestations in Rochester homes. Homeowners should inspect the foundation and basement walls for small holes and seal them with steel wool and caulk, since mice can chew through softer materials. Weatherstripping around doors and windows also helps block access, as do door sweeps on garage and basement entries.
    Inside the home, cleaning up crumbs, storing food in sealed containers, and reducing clutter limit what mice can use for food and shelter. Regularly checking for droppings in the basement, attic, and pantry can catch an infestation early. In some cases, professional pest control services may be needed, especially if droppings or chew marks appear in multiple areas.
    Once mice have entered the walls, they can cause more than just noise. They often gnaw on wires and insulation, which can create fire hazards or damage heating systems. Their droppings also carry bacteria and can trigger allergies, making cleanup a necessary part of the control process.
    Winter in Rochester is long and cold, so homeowners should plan for rodent control before temperatures drop. A simple inspection in late fall, combined with basic sealing and sanitation steps, can make a major difference. By stopping mice at the start of the season, you protect your home, reduce health risks, and avoid the unpleasant sound of scratching in the walls during the quiet months of winter.
