Rats and mice leave the outdoors in search of heat, food and shelter, finding in homes, commercial premises and neighborhood communities the perfect environment to settle in.
In Control Atlas Every winter we detect a significant increase in notices related to this type of pest.

during the winter, Low temperatures and scarcity of food outside force rodents to move towards inhabited areas.. In Tarragona, This behavior is very common in:
- Single-family homes
- Neighborhood communities
- Restaurants and bars
- Warehouses and commercial premises
- Garages and storage rooms
small cracks, drains, false ceilings or technical rooms are enough for rats and mice to access the interior.
