Rodent Control

Safeguard Your Home from Unwanted Rodents with Our Expert Solutions

Identify Rodents

Rodents can vary in size, color, and behavior. Common types include mice, rats, and squirrels. They often hide in attics, walls, and under appliances. Homeowners usually underestimate infestations due to their nocturnal habits and hidden nesting spots.

Signs of Infestation

Droppings, smear marks, gnaw marks, and nocturnal noises are key signs. Live sightings and disturbed food packages also indicate an infestation.

Common Species

House mice, Norway rats, and gray squirrels are common. Mice are curious and explore open areas, while rats are cautious and prefer hidden paths.

Our Solution

We inspect appliance voids, place tamper-resistant bait stations, and apply residual sprays to prevent re-entry. Our approach is tailored to your home's specific needs.

Understanding Rodent Behavior

Rodents are primarily nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night. They hide in dark, secluded areas such as attics, wall voids, and under appliances. Rodents are curious but cautious, often avoiding open spaces. Homeowners might miss signs due to their hidden habits and the fact that they are most active when the house is quiet.

Warm, sheltered areas with access to food and water are ideal for rodent infestations. They multiply quickly, with some species able to have multiple litters in a year. An unnoticed problem can escalate from a few individuals to a large infestation in a short time, leading to increased damage and health risks.

Professional assessment is crucial because technicians are trained to find hidden signs and entry points that homeowners might overlook. They use specialized tools to inspect voids, check for moisture levels, and set monitoring traps to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the infestation, leading to more effective treatment.

Our Rodent Treatment Process

Our technicians start with a thorough inspection, checking common hiding spots like appliance voids, moisture points, wall cracks, and food sources. This step is essential to understand the extent of the infestation and identify entry points.

We use a combination of gels, baits, and residual sprays. Gels are placed in strategic locations to attract and eliminate rodents, while baits are used in tamper-resistant stations to ensure safety. Residual sprays are applied to prevent re-entry and provide long-lasting protection.

After treatment, you can expect to see a reduction in rodent activity within 24–48 hours. Our team will schedule follow-ups to ensure the infestation is fully resolved. We also offer a satisfaction guarantee, so you can trust that the problem will be handled effectively.

Risks of Untreated Infestations

Rodents pose health risks through allergens, food contamination, and bacteria transfer. Their urine and droppings can spread diseases, and their gnawing can damage wiring, leading to fire hazards. It's important to address infestations promptly to protect your family's health.

Untreated infestations can lead to property damage, including stains, food contamination, and structural issues from gnawing. In multi-unit buildings, infestations can spread to neighboring homes, creating a larger problem. Early treatment helps prevent these issues and saves on potential repair costs.

Early treatment is crucial as it prevents the infestation from growing and reduces the risk of health issues and property damage. Addressing the problem early also means less extensive and often more cost-effective treatment. Our professionals can help you tackle the issue before it escalates.

Prevention Tips

DIY Prevention Methods

  • Seal Entry Points: Check your home for gaps around pipes, vents, and doors. Seal them with steel wool or caulk to prevent rodent entry.
  • Clean Up Food Sources: Store food in sealed containers and clean up spills immediately. Keep your kitchen and dining areas free from crumbs and stains.
  • Reduce Clutter: Minimize clutter in attics, basements, and closets. Rodents use clutter as shelter, so keeping areas tidy helps deter them.
  • Maintain Yard: Keep your yard free of debris and overgrown vegetation. Trim trees and shrubs away from your home to reduce rodent access.
  • Check for Moisture: Fix leaks and reduce moisture around your home. Rodents are attracted to water sources, so keeping areas dry helps prevent infestations.

Professional Prevention

Professional prevention is more effective than DIY methods because technicians can identify and address hidden vulnerabilities. They use specialized tools and products to create long-lasting barriers against rodents.

Our prevention plans include scheduled visits to monitor for signs of infestation, check bait stations, and ensure the effectiveness of the treatment. This proactive approach helps maintain a pest-free home.
