Nov 7, 2026
Scott's Turf and Pest Services shares a Mebane, NC guide on five warning signs of winter pests, covering rodents and cockroaches, to help homeowners spot infestations early and request inspections.
Hillsborough, United States, November 7, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- Scott's Turf and Pest Services has released a homeowner's guide for Mebane, North Carolina, outlining warning signs that household pests may be moving indoors as colder weather sets in. The guide points to noises, droppings, gnaw marks, odors, and other physical evidence that can indicate pest activity inside walls, attics, and basements, giving homeowners a timely resource for checking their properties before problems take hold.

As temperatures fall, mice and rats seek warm, hidden areas such as wall voids, attics, and basements, where they nest, reproduce, and stay close to food sources, which is why catching an infestation early can make a real difference for homeowners. According to the guide, rodent activity often announces itself through nighttime scratching or rustling inside walls and ceilings, since mice and rats tend to move most when the house is quiet. Droppings and gnaw marks on food packaging or wiring offer additional confirmation, and musty odors or greasy trails along baseboards can appear as rodents repeat the same travel routes. Checking a cleaned area again after a few days can help confirm ongoing activity, since new droppings suggest rodents remain nearby.
Cockroaches present a separate cold-weather concern addressed in the guide, with signs that differ from those left by rodents. Homeowners may notice live or dead roaches, pepper-like droppings, or small brown egg cases near baseboards and behind appliances, along with musty odors and smear marks in areas with excess moisture. Because cockroaches are mostly active after dark, sightings often happen at night or when a light is switched on in a previously dark room.
The guide also outlines preventive steps homeowners can take now rather than waiting for signs to appear. Sealing cracks and gaps around the home's exterior, storing food in airtight containers, and clearing clutter from basements and storage areas can reduce the hiding spots and food sources pests rely on. Keeping shrubs and firewood away from the foundation and repairing leaking pipes address two more factors, since overgrown landscaping and excess moisture can each draw pests closer to the house.

In an innovative environmental move, Miami-Dade County has submerged sections of a demolished bridge to form artificial reefs. This effort is designed to foster diverse marine life, including fish, sponges, and corals.

MIT scientists built over 400 tiny ecosystems with 12 to 20 bacterial species; after adding an outsider, the more changeable communities were easier to invade
Researchers at MIT have discovered that chaotic ecosystems easily accept new species while stable ones resist invasion. Conventional ecological beliefs suggest high biodiversity prevents invasions, but stability plays a crucial role. This finding has implications for the effectiveness of probiotic supplements in human gut microbiomes. Individuals with more stable guts may struggle to welcome beneficial probiotics. Future studies will further explore these dynamics and their relevance in wellness treatments.
