National Rodent Awareness Week: Turner Pest Control Shares Rodent Prevention Tips

MEDIA ALERT 

Turner Pest Control Helps Homeowners Get Ready for Rodent Season During National Rodent Awareness Week

 

WHAT: 

National Rodent Week is here –– from Sunday, October 19 through Saturday, October 25 –– and Turner Pest Control, an Anticimex company and leading provider of pest management solutions in Florida, is helping homeowners prepare for the cooler months ahead by protecting their homes from rodents and other wildlife.

 

Each year, rodents invade nearly 21 million U.S. homes, most often in the fall and winter. These unwanted guests don’t just chew through food packages and electrical wiring – they can also spread diseases, contaminate surfaces and trigger allergies.

 

As temperatures drop, Turner Pest Control is educating the public on how to safeguard their homes and offering savings on their innovative SMART Rodent Control system – Florida’s only 24/7 digital monitoring solution that detects and prevents infestations before they spread.

 

Homeowners should keep an eye out for:

 

  • Small droppings near food, under sinks, or along walls

  • Gnaw marks on food packaging, furniture or wiring

  • Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings, especially at night

  • Nests made of shredded paper, fabric or insulation

 

“Rodents are more than a nuisance, they’re a health and safety risk,” said Donnie Sanderson, Head of SMART at Turner Pest Control. “Our SMART technology takes the guesswork out of rodent control, giving homeowners peace of mind through continuous monitoring and rapid response.” 

 

While DIY methods may offer temporary relief, rodents are resilient and often return without proper intervention. Partnering with a trusted provider like Turner Pest Control ensures both residential and commercial properties stay protected year-round through expert inspection, prevention and proactive treatment – allowing for long-term peace of mind this rodent season and beyond.
