With frigid temperatures and the first snowfall blanketing the country, homeowners aren't the only ones seeking shelter indoors this winter. According to the National Pest Management Association (NPMA), rodents invade an estimated 21 million homes each winter. Horizon Pest Control, having served New Jersey residents for 43 years, urges homeowners to take extra steps to ensure a rodent-free home this season.

Horizon Pest Control offers tips to help homeowners pest-proof their home.

"Winter is a prime time for rodent infestations because they are seeking shelter from the cold weather and easy access to food," said Bernard Holst, Jr. at Horizon Pest Control. "Once inside, rodents can breed very quickly, leaving homeowners with a much bigger problem to deal with."

While rodents are unwelcome house guests, the real concern is that these pests can cause property damage and carry disease. "Rodents such as mice and rats spread Salmonella and Hantavirus by contaminating food and preparation surfaces," said Holst. "They can also chew through wood and electrical wires, in some cases sparking house fires."

It's much easier to prevent a rodent infestation than to remove them after they've turned your home into their new residence. Here are a few steps homeowners can take to keep their homes rodent-free:

* Seal cracks and holes on the outside of your home to help prevent rodents from finding easy entryways

* Keep shrubberies cut back from the house and store firewood a good distance away. The NPMA recommends that you store firewood at least 20 feet from the home and five inches off the ground

* Rodents can hide in clutter, so keep areas clear and store boxes off of the floor

* Keep food in tightly sealed containers and clean up crumbs and spills

Chilly weather sends many rodents indoors

CREATED 9:48 PM

If youve been trying to keep warm inside as much as possible, chances are the rodents around your house are trying to do the same thing.

Every winter pest control companies see a spike in customers dealing with mice and insects making themselves comfortable inside homes.

How do you know if you have a new furry roommate? Check your cabinets and baseboards for chew marks.

Their front teeth never stop growing so theyre constantly gnawing on things like wood or wires to keep their teeth short and sharp, pest professional Pieter Rebentisch with Gemtek Pest Control said.

Also, keep an eye out for mouse droppings. Check in the cabinets under your bathroom and kitchen sinks for what looks like tiny dark grains of rice.

Mice scale the outside of your home, hoping to find a small opening.

Mice can fit through a hole the size of your pinky, they can squeeze through very small tight spots," Rebentisch said.

If they can get under your home, they just hop on the pipeline express, follow the plumbing, and voila! They're nice and warm in the comfort of your home.

"A home is basically a great place for shelter- so to be warm, make a nest, reproduce, and then usually in our house we've got a lot of food!" Rebentisch said.

Cold weather causes pest problems

Ferrell was given a plaque celebrating his 15 years of service by his wife, Michelle.

When Dan Ferrell thinks back to 1998, he still vividly remembers launching his termite and pest control business, with the companys headquarters based at his Bumpass home and one company truck to his name.

In the time since, the headquarters have stayed the same, but thats about it. Ferrells Termite & Pest Control now boasts a fleet of 11 vehicles and eight licensed field workers, and recently celebrated his 15th year of business.

I figured Id still be in business, Ferrell said of his mindset when he first founded the company. I had no idea that it would grow to the size that it did, though. I think weve done right well. The good Lord has blessed us, and you cant complain about that.

Ferrell founded the company after a 17-year career working for national pest control company Terminixs Fredericksburg location.

Ferrell spurned an offer from Terminix to relocate to Northern Virginia due to his unwillingness to leave his sons or his hometown of 30 years, and instead decided to begin his own business.

I felt like I needed to be here and not away from them, Ferrell said. I said to myself, If I can do it for [Terminix], why cant I do it for myself?

Since then, the company has continued to steadily expand. Ferrell said he ties his companys success to the way he instructs his employees to treat customers while on the job.

I try to tell everybody to think in terms of, If this was my own house, what would I want to do? We want to look and act professional, Ferrell said.

The dome of the U.S. Capitol building will be temporarily wrapped in scaffolding by the spring of next year as part of a two-year, $60 million renovation project torepair rust and more than 1,000 cracks in the domes structure.

The renovation, which will leave the Rotunda inside the dome ringed in netting to capture falling debris, includes repairing the cast iron, inserting filler where needed, removing old paint, and repainting the structure.

Visitors to the Capitol will be able to see the Apotheosis of Washington, the painting at the center of the Rotundas ceiling, through the center ofa white canopy system in the shape of a doughnut.

Much of the work will be done at night and on weekends.The architects office will update the renovations progress atwww.aoc.gov/dome.

Here are some facts about the Capitol Dome:

The project follows repairs on the Washington Monument, which was damaged in a 2011 earthquake. Scaffolding on the monument, which sits on the National Mall, is in the process of being dismantled.

But, most departments are crowded with civil servants who are mostly timid. Thus, any petition is rendered useless.

Ministries also suffer the same timidity, since the staff are made up of the same civil servants. Thus, a petition to a ministry is also useless.

People know that time does not permit a minister to write correspondence; nonetheless, the minister can direct the civil servants to respond to a petition.

However, if there is no reminder from the minister, there won't be any response.

This non-reminder by heads of departments is prevalent in departments and agencies. Ministers can express many deliveries to the people. However, if a minister does not remind his staff, all the promises will mean nothing.

One does not wish to disclose the departments with which one has had such experiences. However, these days, the media are asking the people to reveal all!

On May 30, I sent a report to the general manager of Celcom Axiata Bhd for selling Wi-Fi Broadband at RM95 a piece in Kota Baru as a promotion. In Tanah Merah, there was no promotion, so the price was RM195.

However, the said broadband service does not work in Tanah Merah.

Under the Consumer Protection Act, one is entitled to ask Celcom to take back the goods and return the money. However, until today, there has been no response.

The hissing of summer lawn sprinklers could become a thing of the past on the Sunshine Coast if tough conservation measures are adopted to buy time and save millions of dollars in water system upgrades. Major upgrades are needed to the Chapman Lake system over the next 25 years and even with more restrictive outdoor watering and universal metering, the price tag will be an estimated $36 million.

Some Sechelt residents were pressuring council to reverse their decision to build a new sewage treatment plant on Ebbtide Street. About 160 residents who questioned things like the location of the new plant and its high cost met in a citizens forum hosted by the Sunshine Coast Senior Citizens Organization and the Sechelt Sewage Coalition.

The outpouring of love and support for Mujtaba Saloojee and his family continued to grow along the Sunshine Coast with a major gesture coming from Extra Foods in Sechelt. Extra Foods, through its Presidents Choice Childrens Charity, presented a cheque for $20,000 to Muj and his family during a ceremony at the store.

Financial difficulties, an in-depth assessment by Environment Canada and a newly-filed warrant to seize the HMCS Annapolis could spell the end of the Artificial Reef Society of B.C.s (ARSBC) plan to sink the war ship in Halkett Bay. The ARSBC was set to sink the 115-metre destroyer to create an artificial reef in Halkett Bay (off the southeastern shore of Gambier Island) last fall but a final inspection from Environment Canada held up the process.

Work on building the new Gibsons Elementary School officially began with the construction start-up marked with a ceremonial sod turning. Dignitaries and members of School District No. 46 (SD46) spoke to a sea of students sporting yellow hard hats as well as many community members gathered for the big day.

Sunshine Coast students got involved in the provincial election through Student Vote, a chance for young voters to mark a ballot similar to the official one adults used. Thousands of students from across B.C. took part.
