Winter Mouse Control Services

Seeing Mice This Winter? You’re Not Alone.

Winter is the most active season for mice in Connecticut—and every year, homeowners and businesses are caught off guard by just how quickly a small problem turns into a major one.

As temperatures drop, mice aggressively seek warmth, shelter, and food, making homes, commercial buildings, and even vehicles prime targets. At Verdant Pest Control, winter consistently brings a surge in mouse activity calls—and this season has been no exception.

If you’re hearing scratching, finding droppings, or noticing unusual smells, chances are mice have already made themselves comfortable.

Why Winter Mouse Problems Escalate So Fast

Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime. During winter, they exploit:

Gaps created by temperature-related expansion and contraction
Utility line penetrations
Garage doors and door sweeps
Foundation and siding openings
Attic and roofline access points

Once inside, mice reproduce rapidly and often go unnoticed until damage or contamination becomes obvious.

The Risks of Ignoring a Winter Mouse Problem

A mouse infestation is more than a nuisance. Left untreated, mice can cause:

Contamination from droppings and urine
Damage to insulation, drywall, and stored items
Chewed electrical wiring (a serious fire risk)
Persistent odors in attics and wall voids
Increased activity as populations grow indoors

Winter infestations rarely “go away on their own”—they almost always worsen.

Mice in Cars: A Growing Winter Issue

One of the biggest increases we see in winter is mice entering vehicles.

Cars provide warmth, nesting material, and protection from predators—especially when parked overnight or left unused. Mice frequently nest:

Under the hood
In cabin air filters
Inside engine bays
Around wiring harnesses and insulation

This can lead to:

Chewed wiring
Warning lights and electrical failures
Costly, unexpected repairs

Verdant Pest Control can help address vehicle-related rodent activity and reduce the chances of repeat issues.

Our Winter Mouse Control Approach

1) Thorough Inspection

We identify:

Active areas
Entry points
Nesting locations
Conditions attracting mice indoors

2) Targeted Control

Based on the inspection, we implement a plan that may include:

Strategic trapping
Secured baiting where appropriate
Monitoring activity to confirm results

3) Entry Point Identification & Prevention

Catching mice is only part of the solution. We help identify how they’re getting inside and provide guidance—or exclusion services—to prevent continued access.
