Rats are not exception in this as they usually get so busy in running around in search of food.
Do rodents go to the attic in summer.
They do not go into hibernation at any time of the year not even during the winter season or the summer season.
The first we knew about it was when we looked between 2 chairs in the dining room and saw it looking up at us.
Rats in the summer summer is always the dry season and always the busiest time for both human and wild animals.
We had our home resided this summer.
This spring and summer population growth can lead to a larger issue during the winter months as they are looking to move to a safer place to live like your home.
But droppings don t appear only in your kitchen.
Hello david i sent this to your other email to.
In fact on a recent vacation we had at least 2 rats living in the attic.
In most cases people have rodent issues in their home during the winter but mice can cause issues during the summer as well.
I was surprised because it was 100 degrees outside heat index was 108 and the attic heat would have been much much hotter guessing 130 140.
If you have rats in the attic do not think they will stay there and not visit the rest of the house.
Mice chew out of wall voids and gain access to kitchen drawers and cabinets from the back.
Mice can cause issues in the summer in your home as well.
Needless to say the rest of the vacation was not that great.
Mice and rats tend to explore a fair bit more during summer than they do during other seasons.
While they re sneaking around in the underbrush they tend to find ways to creep into homes.
At that time we started hearing noises in the attic.
Rodents are already naturally drawn toward structures because of their smell and the cover they provide.
