Rodents in the Attic? What PG County Homeowners Need to Know
If you've heard scratching or rustling sounds overhead, you're not alone. Rodents in the attic are one of the most common pest problems in Prince George’s County, Maryland—especially as the temperatures drop and animals look for shelter.
At Senate Termite & Pest Control, we help homeowners throughout PG County get rid of rats, mice, and squirrels fast—and for good. Whether you live in Bowie, Upper Marlboro, Largo, or Hyattsville, here’s what you need to know.
Why Rodents Are Targeting PG County Homes
Rodents thrive in areas with dense housing, wooded surroundings, and aging construction—all of which are common throughout PG County. Attics provide warmth, nesting material, and easy entry points, especially in older or multi-level homes.
Common species we find in attics across PG County:
- Roof rats
- House mice
- Gray squirrels
- Flying squirrels
Signs You Have Rodents in the Attic
Even if you haven’t seen them directly, there are clear signs that something is up there:
- Noises in the attic at night—scratching, chewing, or squeaking
- Droppings near insulation, vents, or stored items
- Chewed wires, cardboard, or insulation
- Nests made from shredded material
- Strong odors or air drafts from the attic hatch
The Risks Go Beyond Noise
Rodents aren’t just annoying—they’re destructive and dangerous:
- Fire hazard: Chewing on wires
- Health risks: Droppings, urine, and parasites like fleas
- Structural damage: Ruined insulation and woodwork
- Recurring infestations: Rodent pheromones signal others to move in
