Have you heard strange, skittering noises coming from your generator lately? You might not be imagining things. As the seasons change and temperatures drop, rodents start looking for warm, sheltered spaces to nest and your generator can look like prime real estate.
Inside that sturdy enclosure is a cozy, protected environment with just enough warmth to attract mice, squirrels, and other small critters. Unfortunately, once they move in, they can do serious damage to wiring, insulation, and other electrical components, leading to costly repairs or even system failure.
In the Northeast, the weather is always changing, but one thing stays the same: power outages happen. And when your backup generator doesn’t start because a rodent chewed through the wiring, it’s more than an inconvenience, it’s a disruption to your home or business.
Whether you’re relying on backup power to keep your family safe and comfortable or to keep your business online during a critical Zoom meeting or storm, rodent damage can leave you in the dark when you need power most.
At FM Generator, we offer a specialized Rodent Protection Service designed to keep unwanted guests out of your generator enclosure — and your power system running reliably year-round.
Our team is trained to:
✅ Clean and remove debris, nests, and droppings from generator enclosures
✅ Seal and screen open areas to prevent rodents from entering
✅ Inspect for early signs of pest activity or wiring damage
✅ Provide maintenance tips to reduce the risk of future infestations
Rodent protection is an exclusive service available to our customers. Over our 50+ years in business, we’ve seen it all — from snakes and spiders to mice and squirrels and we know how to handle them safely and effectively.
Ignoring early warning signs can lead to bigger problems later. A small nest today could mean a non-starting generator tomorrow. Rodents can chew through wires, short out circuits, and even damage fuel lines.
Routine inspections and rodent-proofing not only protect your equipment but also extend its lifespan and reliability, especially as we move into the colder months.
Not a fan of snakes or rodents? Don’t worry, FM Generator has you covered.
Our technicians will safely remove any unwanted critters, clean out debris, and fortify your generator enclosure to keep them from coming back.
Consistent maintenance and cleanliness provide peace of mind, knowing your generator will perform when you need it most.
