When you do a search for mouse droppings do a search for nests as well.
Do rodents go to the attic in summer.
We had our home resided this summer.
The first we knew about it was when we looked between 2 chairs in the dining room and saw it looking up at us.
In most cases people have rodent issues in their home during the winter but mice can cause issues during the summer as well.
But droppings don t appear only in your kitchen.
If you have rats in the attic do not think they will stay there and not visit the rest of the house.
Thanks for offering the second email address.
This spring and summer population growth can lead to a larger issue during the winter months as they are looking to move to a safer place to live like your home.
Mice chew out of wall voids and gain access to kitchen drawers and cabinets from the back.
Mice can cause issues in the summer in your home as well.
I was surprised because it was 100 degrees outside heat index was 108 and the attic heat would have been much much hotter guessing 130 140.
They do not go into hibernation at any time of the year not even during the winter season or the summer season.
At that time we started hearing noises in the attic.
Rats are not exception in this as they usually get so busy in running around in search of food.
They can also be found in the attic where mice are living and exploring.
Rats in the summer summer is always the dry season and always the busiest time for both human and wild animals.
In fact on a recent vacation we had at least 2 rats living in the attic.
While they re sneaking around in the underbrush they tend to find ways to creep into homes.
Needless to say the rest of the vacation was not that great.
