Why mice and rats are a problem around Knoxville
In Knoxville, homes from older homes near downtown and North Knoxville to newer subdivisions out west see steady pest pressure through much of the year, thanks to East Tennessee's humid climate and wooded surroundings. House mice and Norway rats are the most common rodents in East Tennessee homes. A mouse can squeeze through a gap about the size of a dime, so small openings around pipes, vents, garage doors and foundations are often enough. Rodents can contaminate food and chew wiring, which makes early action important.
Rodent activity indoors typically rises in fall and winter as temperatures drop and mice look for warm places to nest.
