As Perth's seasons change, so do the challenges of keeping your home rodent-free. At Perth Rodent Control, we understand how local weather patterns affect pest behaviour across suburbs from Mount Lawley to Victoria Park. Let's explore season-specific strategies to protect your home year-round.

Autumn Preparation: Getting Ready for Rodent Season

As temperatures cool, rats and mice begin seeking warmer spaces. This makes autumn crucial for preventive measures:

  • Seal entry points around your home's exterior
  • Clear fallen leaves that provide nesting materials
  • Trim branches away from rooflines
  • Install door sweeps on external doors

Our Rodent Entry Point Sealing service can professionally secure your home before winter arrives.

Winter: Peak Rodent Activity Management

Perth winters drive rodents indoors, making this season particularly challenging. Focus on:

  • Regular inspection of roof spaces
  • Monitoring garage and storage areas
  • Implementing Humane Rodent Trapping solutions
  • Maintaining clean food storage areas

Spring Cleaning: Post-Winter Rodent Control

As detailed in our guide on Perth's Outdoor Rodent Baiting, spring requires a comprehensive approach:

  • Deep cleaning of winter-affected areas
  • Garden maintenance to reduce hiding spots
  • Checking for breeding sites
  • Professional inspection of potential damage

Summer Vigilance: Preventing New Infestations

Even in summer, rodents remain active, particularly in areas like Kings Park and surrounding suburbs. Key actions include:

  • Maintaining yard hygiene
  • Securing outdoor bins
  • Regular Outdoor Rodent Baiting maintenance
  • Monitoring air conditioning units and pipes

Year-Round Prevention Tips

Effective rodent control requires consistent attention:

  • Monthly property inspections
  • Proper food storage practices
  • Regular maintenance of prevention systems
  • Professional pest control partnerships
