Why June Is Prime Time for Mice, Rats and Rodents in Delaware Homes

When most people think of rodents invading their homes, they picture the colder months. But don’t be fooled—June is one of the most active times for mice and rat infestations across Delaware. Rising temperatures and seasonal food sources drive rodents to seek shelter in cooler, quieter areas—often your attic, basement, or garage.

At Bay Area Wildlife Solutions, we provide expert rodent control and removal services for homeowners in Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Milton, Ocean View, and surrounding towns.

Why Are Rodents a Summer Problem?

While rodents are active year-round, early summer creates ideal conditions:

  • Increased outdoor activity disturbs their natural hiding spots
  • Newly weaned young are looking for food and shelter
  • Easy access to garbage, grills, or outdoor pet food attracts them closer to homes
  • And once they get inside, mice and rats:
  • Chew through insulation, wood, and wiring (fire hazard!)
  • Nest inside walls and attics
  • Leave droppings that can spread disease

Signs of a Rodent Infestation in June

Not sure if you have a rodent issue? Watch for these red flags:

  • Scratching or scurrying in walls, especially at night
  • Small black droppings in cabinets, basements, or pantry areas

  • Nesting debris like shredded paper or insulation
