Dropping temperatures could mean mice, squirrels and even raccoons hiding in your property and looking for a warm place to live. To help you prevent these pests from invading your home, below are some tips from Mike Londry, owner of Westside Pest Control.

Inspect your home for holes.
Mice, more than rats, are likely to cohabit with people especially in the kitchen.
Check your attic if you hear a thumping noise as opposed to scratching.
Make sure to call a professional right away if you have a rodent problem.
