rodent swarms

Pest Control

The answer to 'rodent swarms' is that a sudden increase in the number of rodents in and around your home is typically caused by a few key factors: an abundant food source, a warm nesting environment, or overpopulation in the local rodent community. Symptoms of a rodent swarm include seeing multiple rodents at once, hearing increased scratching or scurrying noises, and finding more droppings or signs of nesting.

The best solution depends on the severity of the infestation. For minor issues, homeowners can try DIY methods like sealing entry points, removing food sources, and using traps or repellents. However, for larger infestations or recurring problems, it's best to call in a professional pest control technician. They have the expertise and equipment to properly identify the root cause, eliminate the swarm, and prevent future issues.
