Mice and rats can threaten your living space from January to December, but winter is the prime season for rodent incursions into homes. Rodents, like most pests, simply seek a warmer place to establish a nest that’s in close proximity food, water and nesting materials.
With the recent discovery of mice infected with hantavirus in Devore and Coyote Canyon near Fontana in San Bernardino County, officials are urging residents to avoid contact with any kind of rodent and to take precautions to reduce rodent populations.
