How to Pinpoint Rodent Entry Points

Identifying a rodent entry point is simple! Follow air and heat movement through your home. In our opinion, this method is easier than looking for droppings, or nesting locations.

Essentially, rodents love warmth and need heat to survive. The seek the warmest points of the home especially when the temperatures drop outside.

Key things to keep in mind:

  1. Inspect areas where heat escapes such as vents, pipes, on roofs and under doorways.
  2. Inspect any areas where there may be excess trash or debris to gain even more warmth such as a cellar or basement.
  3. Open spots in concrete or older foundations make for great shelter as well as easy paths for mice and other rodents to use as travel ways.
  4. If you can, purchase or rent a heat sensing camera to discover areas of your home that may be potential entry points or shelter areas for rodents. The camera can also identify where heat is escaping which could also identify even the smallest of entry points into your home.
