Tis The Season

Rodents in Texas This Fall: How Rhino Pest Protection Keeps Them Out

As the temperatures start to cool across Texas in the fall, homeowners aren’t the only ones looking for warmth and comfort indoors. Rodents—especially mice and rats—begin searching for cozy nesting spots and reliable food sources. Unfortunately, that often means your home or business becomes their target.

Why Fall Is Prime Rodent Season

In Texas, rodents stay active year-round, but the fall months bring a noticeable increase in infestations. Cooler nights drive them to seek shelter inside attics, garages, crawl spaces, and walls. They can squeeze through gaps as small as a dime, chew through wood and wiring, and reproduce rapidly—turning a small problem into a major infestation before you know it.

Common rodent species in Texas include:

• House mice: Small, gray, and quick to reproduce.

• Norway rats: Larger burrowing rodents that prefer basements and lower levels.

• Roof rats: Agile climbers that nest in attics and upper structures.

  
  

Signs of a Rodent Problem

If you notice any of these, it’s time to call in the pros:

• Droppings in cabinets or along baseboards

• Scratching noises at night

• Chewed wires, insulation, or food packaging

• Nesting materials (shredded paper, fabric, or insulation)

• A musky or ammonia-like odor

Rodents aren’t just a nuisance—they can contaminate food, spread diseases, and cause costly damage to your property.
