Rats and Mice are adapting to Covid 19 lock-down

/in /by

Rats and mice are nocturnal animals but the Corona Virus have them scurry in daylight looking for their next meal, spreading disease and breeding quickly. The lock-down has not put off rodents in urban areas from trying their luck. Here at Go Green Pest Control, we have seen a 50% increase in rat and mouse call-outs from last year, and last year was already a record year. There has been more calls about mice, partly due to more residential garbage being produced from more eating at home. Children who normally would be at school or daycare are leaving food everywhere. There may not be a significantly higher number of rodents around, rather people are just noticing them now. Nearly half of reported electrical equipment damage is caused by rodents who gnaw through wires, and some empty office buildings are now providing a place for rodents to increase their populations.
