Rodent Inspection

Pest Control Technician

We offer inspections. For the first part of the inspection, our skilled technicians will complete a thorough investigation of your property.

We will examine every crack, crevice, cabinet, cupboard, and outbuilding. Determining what type(s) of rodents are active in your home and on your property, and how severe the infestation is, will dictate the type of treatment methods used.

The second part of the inspection determines how rodents are getting into your home, and the kinds of damage they’ve caused. We want you to know if you’re dealing with anything serious that needs immediate repair.

Rodent Control Frequently Asked Questions

What Is Rodent Exclusion? 

Rodent exclusion is both reactionary and preventative. Reducing the conditions that may be attractive to mice and rats, and forcing them to move on, while preventing the potential for future infestations, is one of the most effective ways to rid an area of rodents.

Are Rodent Droppings Dangerous?

Yes! Rodent droppings carry harmful bacteria and diseases, which can spread through contaminated food or air. They are particularly dangerous if they come in contact with your food.

What is the Best Way to Control Rodents?

The best way to control rodents is through a combination of exclusion, trapping, and ongoing monitoring. Sealing entry points, eliminating food and shelter sources, and using safe traps are key steps in managing a rodent issue effectively.

How Do I Get Rid of Rodents Permanently?

Permanently eliminating rodents requires a thorough approach that includes sealing entry points, cleaning up nesting materials and droppings, and setting up traps for continuous monitoring. Regular inspections and ongoing preventive measures will keep your home rodent-free.

What is the Main Method of Rodent Control?

The primary methods of rodent control include exclusion, trapping, and using rodenticides if necessary. Exclusion is the most effective long-term strategy, as it focuses on preventing rodents from entering your home in the first place.

How to Remove Rats from a House Naturally?

To remove rats naturally, you can use methods like peppermint oil, which rats dislike. Simply soak cotton balls in peppermint oil and place them in areas where rats are active. Other natural deterrents include using ultrasonic devices that emit sounds rats find uncomfortable or setting humane traps to catch and release them outside. However, these methods are less effective for severe infestations and may require professional intervention.
