Restaurants and other businesses, and often entire cities, have closed, re-opened, and then closed again because of the COVID-19 virus. This is causing hungry rats and mice that depend on the human food, trash and litter in these places for their food to wander about more in search of new sources. Sometimes these pests are even being spotted wandering about in the daytime, a sign of rodent overpopulation and stress.
At the same time, people are spending more time at home, eating more there and creating more food waste that can attract rats and mice. Because of this situation, we are alerting everyone to make sure you properly dispose of trash, clean up your premises regularly, keep all stored food in sealed containers and not accessible to rodents, and seal openings rodents might use to enter your home or garage.
