Rodent Control

Rodent infestations are a serious threat to your home. Our rodent control experts are highly trained. Find out how our extermination service can remove pests. Rodent Removal Rodents are defined as "to gnaw". We will be mostly examining the "commensal" rodent. The word "commensal" means "sharing one’s table." The House Mouse, Norway Rat, or Roof Rat are all examples of commensal rodents. These rodents are carriers of diseases and can eat or contaminate food. These rodents can co-exist with humans, and they are closely associated with human habitats for water, food, and shelter. If the rodents have good living conditions (food and water) they will multiply rapidly. Your rodent control plan should begin with eliminating or controlling their food, water, shelter, and other necessities. The next step is to trap and bait the rodents. It is worth considering integrating rodent control programs with exclusion techniques and a general cleanup. Other rodents like the harvest mouse or pocket mouse, and white-footed mice, deer mouse or harvest mouse or pack rats may also enter buildings. The first step to getting rid of rats is inspection. After you identify the location of the rats and the type of rats they are, you can exterminate them. Exclusion is an effective rodent control strategy. It will prevent rats from entering a home or structure. Roof Rats are easier than mice to eliminate because they are larger. Sanitation involves more than just cleaning. It involves more than just cleaning. Rodent baits and traps are the best methods to get rid of roof rats. When trapping Roof Rats or baiting them, be patient. Roof Rats are more sensitive to new foods and objects than all other rats. They are very curious about their environment and can easily spot small changes. They are naturally suspicious. This may lead them to avoid baits and traps. Once they get used to the idea of new food and new objects in their environment they will start to explore them. You should not move a bait or trap for more than 3 to 5 business days after you have placed it in the area. Give them enough time to accept it. Some advantages can be derived from trapping as compared to baiting. For those who don't want to use rodenticides, trapping is an alternative. Trapping can work quickly if there is a small rat population. The best part about trapping is that dead rats can be removed before they become an issue in an inaccessible location. The live trap is a great alternative to lethal traps. After catching a rat, you can release them within a few miles of where they were caught. Rodenticides are poisonous baits that are used to kill rodents. They should be used only in areas where animals and children cannot access them. You can protect yourself against accidental poisoning by using tamper resistant bait stations. They are designed to allow rodents access the bait while keeping pets, children, and non-target animals away. Rodenticide labels specify that rodenticides must be used in places that are not accessible to pets and children or in a tamper resistant bait station. We offer single-feed baits (they only require one feeding for a fatal dose), and multiple feed rodenticides (they require multiple feedings for the same dose). Rat baits are available in many forms. Rats are larger than mice and have larger heads, feet, and feet. Rat fur is coarser than that of mice. While mice are curious, rats are cautious. Norway rats can be found in burrows or at the lowest levels of a structure. Roof rats prefer the higher levels. It is crucial to examine the rodent activity. You can inspect each rodent's activity with a flashlight. Check for "droppings", rodent tracks or gnawing damage, burrows and runways, urine stains, rub/grease markings, and any other evidence of dead or alive rodents. You may also hear them making screeching, digging, or scratching noises. An infestation may have a strong odor. Effective control of rats and mice requires that you identify which rodents you have. The size of the trap you choose is important. A mouse trap too small to capture rats would be dangerous, as a rat trap might not be sensitive enough. * It is important to understand the distinct differences between rats or mice so that you can be successful with trapping and baiting. Bromethalin products like Fastrac and Top Gun rodentbaits will not be accepted by rats, but they will be accepted by mice.
