Lebanon’s Rodent Activity—On the Rise

From downtown to subdivisions off I-44, we’re finding more rodent entry points in garages, crawl spaces, and utility penetrations. Fall weather sends rodents indoors; mild winters let populations rebound faster.

Why It’s Getting Worse

  • Climate shifts → longer survival and breeding.
  • Food/harborage → pet food, bird feeders, cluttered storage, open trash.
  • Breeding speed → multiple litters per year.
  • Small openings → dime-size gaps around lines and vents are enough.

Signs You Have Rodents

Noises at night, droppings, gnaw marks, chewed food packages, and rub marks along walls.

Risks to Health & Home

Wiring damage (fire risks), insulation contamination, and disease concerns make early action smart and cost-effective.

Lebanon-Focused Solutions

We start with a professional inspection, then implement targeted trapping/baiting and exclusion (seal-up). Our Perimeter Guard Elite plan provides year-round rodent coverage for lasting protection.

Quick Prevention Tips

  • Seal gaps and replace weatherstripping
  • Store food tightly
  • Tidy up storage areas
  • Keep trash lids tight
  • Install door sweeps
