Most homeowners think mice or rats need a large hole to get inside a house.

In reality, they don’t. 🐭

A mouse can squeeze through an opening about the size of a pencil, and rats can enter through surprisingly small gaps around foundations, pipes, and basement walls.

These entry points are often hidden behind appliances, inside basements, or along exterior walls where most people rarely look.

One simple thing homeowners can do is walk around the outside of their house and check for small cracks or openings near pipes, vents, or utility lines. Sealing those gaps can reduce the chances of rodents getting inside.

But once rodents begin nesting inside walls or basements, the problem can spread quickly.

Walk through many Chicago neighborhoods and you’ll notice something right away.

Block after block of brick homes. 🧱

But that’s not just a design trend. It actually comes from one of the most important events in the city’s history.

In 1871, the Great Chicago Fire destroyed thousands of wooden buildings and entire neighborhoods in just a few days.

When the city began rebuilding, Chicago made a crucial decision. Wood construction was no longer considered safe.

New building regulations encouraged the use of brick, stone, and other fire-resistant materials.

Developers quickly adapted, and over the following decades Chicago neighborhoods became filled with brick houses, apartments, and storefronts.

More than a century later, that rebuilding decision still shapes the look of the city today.

Have you noticed more mice or rats showing up in homes around February and March? 🐭

That’s when rodent activity usually increases. After spending the coldest months hidden inside walls, basements, and crawl spaces, they begin searching for more food and new nesting areas as the weather starts changing.

This is often when homeowners first notice droppings, scratching sounds in the walls, or activity near kitchens and basements.

If you notice these signs, it’s best to act early before the problem grows.

The sooner the problem is identified, the easier it is to stop it before it spreads through walls, basements, and hidden areas.
