Rodent Control Service

Getting rid of rodents involves a combination of preventive measures, sanitation efforts, and targeted control methods. Here’s a comprehensive approach to effectively eliminate rodents from your home and property:

1. Identify and Seal Entry Points

• Inspect: Identify and seal any potential entry points around your home, such as gaps in walls, doors, windows, and utility entry points. Use steel wool or caulk to fill gaps.
• Trim Vegetation: Keep tree branches and shrubbery trimmed away from your home to prevent rodents from using them as pathways.

2. Remove Food and Water Sources

• Cleanliness: Keep your home and yard clean by removing food sources that attract rodents, such as spilled garbage, pet food, and fallen fruits or seeds.
• Store Food Properly: Store food in tightly sealed containers made of metal or thick plastic. Avoid leaving pet food out overnight.

3. Use Traps

• Snap Traps: Place snap traps baited with peanut butter or bacon in areas where rodent activity is observed. Check traps daily and dispose of captured rodents promptly.
• Glue Traps: Use glue traps in areas where snap traps cannot be used, such as along walls and in narrow spaces.

4. Bait Stations

• Rodenticides: Use rodenticide bait stations placed in areas inaccessible to children and pets, following manufacturer instructions carefully. Rodenticides should be used cautiously due to potential risks to non-target animals.

5. Deterrents

• Natural Repellents: Use natural deterrents like peppermint oil-soaked cotton balls or commercial repellents designed to deter rodents. Reapply as directed.
• Ultrasonic Devices: Consider using ultrasonic devices that emit sound waves rodents find irritating.

6. Maintain Hygiene

• Clean Up Debris: Remove piles of debris, clutter, and unused items that rodents can use as nesting sites.
• Outdoor Cleanup: Keep outdoor areas tidy, including sheds and garages, to reduce potential nesting sites.

7. Professional Help

• Pest Control Services: If rodent problems persist despite efforts or if infestations are extensive, consult a professional pest control service. They can provide effective trapping, baiting, and exclusion strategies tailored to your situation.
