When it’s cold out, you might worry about rats or mice sneaking inside your home to stay warm. While that’s a good concern to have, you might need NJ rodent control service to remove these pests from your car.
Why Rodents Enter Vehicles
Rats and mice try to get inside vehicles during winter in order to stay warm and sheltered. Cars and other vehicles provide rodents with protection from the cold and predators. Keep in mind that they only need a tiny opening to be able to get inside vehicles. Once they’re in your car, they can chew wires and cause other kinds of damage. They can also leave germs behind on seats and other surfaces, which puts you at risk of becoming sick.
Preventing Rodents in Vehicles
How can you stop mice and rats from getting inside your car? Keeping it free of food wrappers and other debris can discourage them from trying to find a way in. Closing up entry points, such as a sunroof or a window that’s slightly open, also helps. If you keep your car in the garage, getting rid of clutter and emptying trash cans should keep rodents out. Since rats and mice are drawn to the warmth of car engines, it’s a good idea to look under your hood from time to time as well.
