    Rodent control in Stanhope before winter

    Fall is peak season for mice

    In October, mice move from the woods and shoreline into nearby homes. Sealing gaps before winter keeps them out of walls and insulation.

    Stanhope homes see carpenter ants in spring, mosquitoes near the lake in summer, and mice and stink bugs in the fall.

    Keeping firewood, birdseed and pet food away from the house and in sealed bins also helps. Mice and many insects follow the food.
