Cold snaps don’t just change the weather—they change the balance of your home. As nights dip into the 50s, mice, rats, and squirrels start scanning structures for warmth, cover, and easy calories.

We sit down with associate certified entomologist Tony Sorrentino to map how rodents really decide where to bed down, why a quarter-inch gap is an open door to a mouse, and how scent trails act like neon signs that keep bringing new animals back to the same weak spots.
