When I get a rodent call in October, I'm not only interested in where the homeowner heard scratching or found droppings.

I want to know how the rodents got inside in the first place.

That's why I usually check both inside and outside the home. I look around foundations, utility lines, vents, garage doors, exterior doors, and other small openings that could provide access.

Then I check the areas where activity has been noticed, such as garages, basements, storage rooms, and wall areas.

Dealing with the rodents already inside is important, but leaving the entry points open means the same problem can happen again. In October, that's especially important because colder weather gives rodents more reason to look for shelter indoors.

Before the colder weather really settles in, I recommend taking a walk around the outside of your home and checking a few common rodent entry points.

Look around utility lines, pipes, vents, exterior doors, garage doors, and along the foundation. A gap might not look very big to you, but mice don't need much room to get through.

If you have a basement or garage with a lot of storage, keeping things reasonably organized also makes it easier to notice droppings or chewing early.

I shared more from a recent October rodent job here in Southwestern Ontario in this month's journal.

October is when I start getting more calls about mice and other rodent activity around homes here in Southwestern Ontario.

As the nights get colder, garages, basements, sheds, and wall spaces start looking like good places for rodents to get out of the weather.

Most homeowners don't see a mouse right away. It usually starts with scratching at night, a few droppings near storage, or something that looks like it's been chewed.

Those small signs are worth paying attention to because once rodents find a warm, protected place with access to food, they have a reason to stay.

I recently handled a rodent problem here in Southwestern Ontario that started with scratching in the basement and a few droppings near some storage boxes.

I wrote about what we found and how the rodents were getting inside in this month's journal.

We’re grateful to share this recent 5-star review from Linda Lin, a Southwestern Ontario customer:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I had a great experience with Petty Pest Control. They were quick to respond, professional, and very easy to work with. They explained everything clearly and made the whole process simple and stress-free. The service was thorough, and I was very happy with the results. Highly recommend their friendly and professional team!”

Roach problems can be stressful, especially when you’re not sure where they’re coming from or how much activity is actually there.

We always try to keep the process clear, explain what we find, and make sure the homeowner understands what needs to be done next.

I usually want to know what’s happening behind the areas you can actually see when someone tells me they’ve sprayed for roaches several times but they keep coming back.

From there, I look at where the activity is strongest and what might be supporting it.

Sometimes there’s a small moisture problem. Other times there’s food residue behind an appliance or an opening that gives them a protected place to move through.

The treatment needs to focus on those active areas instead of simply spraying wherever a roach happens to appear.

Dealing with the activity is one part of the job. Correcting the food, moisture, and hiding conditions around it is what helps keep the problem from building back up.

If you've noticed a roach in your kitchen, there are a few basic things I recommend checking around the home first.

Start underneath the sink. Look for slow leaks, damp cabinets, or water collecting around plumbing. Then check behind the stove and refrigerator for crumbs and grease that don't normally get cleaned.

Keep cereal, flour, sugar, pet food, and other dry foods in sealed containers. I also recommend taking the garbage out regularly and avoiding dirty dishes sitting in the sink overnight.

These things may sound simple, but removing easy food, water, and hiding places can make a real difference.

September is when I start hearing from more homeowners about roaches around Southwestern Ontario.

Most of the time, it starts with one showing up late at night near the kitchen sink or stove. Then another one appears a few days later, usually around the same area.

Roaches are good at staying out of sight, so the ones you see aren't always the whole problem. They tend to hide behind appliances, underneath cabinets, and around plumbing where they have easy access to food, moisture, and warmth.

If you're seeing them repeatedly, especially at night, it's worth paying attention rather than waiting to see if they disappear on their own.

I really appreciated this review from Ashley Williams here in Southwestern Ontario:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I acquired the services of Petty Pest Control a few times in the past. Jim was very kind and helpful as I was unaware of the extermination process. For any pest issues I have in the future, I will call Jim."

That part about explaining the process means a lot to me.

Most homeowners don’t deal with pest or rodent issues every day, so it’s normal to have questions. I never want someone to feel like they’re being left in the dark about what’s happening in their own home.

A good service should explain what was found, what needs to be done, and what to watch for after the visit.

Thanks again to Ashley for the kind words and for trusting Petty Pest Control.

When I’m dealing with rodent activity, I’m not just looking at the droppings or the noises homeowners are hearing.

I want to know why the rodents picked that property in the first place.

Here in Southwestern Ontario, I usually start with the outside of the home, foundation areas, utility entry points, garage doors, vents, door seals, and any small gaps that could be giving them access.

Then I look at where they may be spending time once they get close to the home. Garages, basements, sheds, and storage areas are common because they’re quiet and sheltered.

Treating the activity is important, but if the entry points stay open, the problem can come back.

The best results usually come from handling both sides, what’s happening now and what allowed it to start.

Before you call anyone for rodents, take a slow walk around the outside of your home.

I always tell homeowners to check the small spots first — around utility lines, vents, garage doors, door frames, and the foundation.

Rodents don’t need a big opening to get inside. A small gap that looks harmless to us can be enough for them.

Then check your garage, basement, shed, or storage areas. If there are open bags of pet food, bird seed, or cluttered corners that don’t get moved often, those are worth cleaning up.

These small steps won’t always solve an active problem, but they can make your home a lot less inviting.
