Comprehensive Pest Control for Rodents - Effective Solutions

A rodent infestation is more than just a nuisance; it’s a health and safety risk. Rats and mice can damage your property’s structure, chew through electrical wiring, and spread diseases. Our professional rodent service focuses on immediate removal and long-term exclusion.

 

1. Advanced Rodent Inspection

Identifying the type of rodent and their entry points is the foundation of our strategy.

  • Species Identification: We determine if you are dealing with House Mice, Roof Rats, or Norway Rats, as their nesting and feeding habits differ significantly.

  • Entry Point Auditing: We inspect the exterior and interior for gaps as small as a dime (for mice) or a quarter (for rats).

  • Activity Mapping: We look for "rub marks" (grease from fur), droppings, nesting materials, and gnaw marks to locate their primary runways.

 

2. Strategic Removal & Population Control

Once we understand the layout, we implement a removal plan tailored to your environment.

 

Professional Trapping Systems

In sensitive areas like kitchens or bedrooms, we prioritize mechanical trapping.

  • Strategic Placement: Traps are placed along identified runways and near nesting sites.

  • Snap & Multi-Catch Traps: We use high-grade equipment that is far more effective and humane than standard retail options.

 

Tamper-Resistant Baiting

For exterior control or large-scale infestations, we use secure, locked bait stations.

  • Safety First: These stations are designed to keep children and pets out while allowing rodents in.

  • High-Potency Rodenticides: We use professional-grade baits that are highly attractive to rodents, ensuring quick results.

 

3. Exclusion: "The Seal-Up"

The most important part of rodent control is making sure they can't get back in.

  • Structural Sealing: We use high-quality materials like steel wool, hardware cloth, and specialized sealants that rodents cannot chew through.

  • Common Targets: We seal gaps around utility pipes, roof vents, floor drains, and door sweeps.

  • Environment Modification: We provide advice on trimming overhanging trees or moving woodpiles that provide easy access to your roof or foundation.

 

4. Sanitation & Decontamination

Rodents leave behind pheromones and waste that can attract new pests or pose health risks.

  • Pheromone Neutralization: We treat areas of high activity to remove the scent trails that lead other rodents to your home.

  • Waste Removal: (Optional service) For heavy infestations in attics or crawlspaces, we offer professional cleanup and insulation replacement to ensure your air quality is restored.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

How long does it take to get rid of them?

Most minor infestations are under control within 7 to 14 days. However, a "clean out" period is necessary to ensure the entire colony has been addressed.

 

Is your rodenticide safe for my dog?

We use locked, tamper-resistant stations to prevent direct access. We also utilize baits with low secondary poisoning risks. Your technician will discuss the safest placement options for your specific household.

 

I only saw one mouse. Do I really need a professional?

Where there is one, there are almost always more. Mice can have up to 10 litters a year. Professional intervention prevents a single mouse from becoming a full-blown infestation.

 

Will the rodents die inside my walls?

Modern professional baits are designed to make the rodent feel dehydrated, often encouraging them to leave the structure in search of water before they pass. While no one can guarantee 100% that a rodent won't die inside, our strategic placement minimizes this risk.

 

Why Choose Professional Rodent Services?
