Rodent Control

Signs of Rodent Presence:

Rodents often leave behind evidence before they are seen.
Common signs of infestation include:

• Droppings – Small, pellet-like waste found near food sources, nesting areas, or along baseboards.
• Gnaw Marks – Chewed electrical wires, furniture, wallboards, insulation, food packaging, and siding.
• Tracks & Smudge Marks – Greasy rub marks or footprints along walls, floors, or dusty surfaces.
• Scratching Noises – Sounds of movement, gnawing, or scurrying in walls, ceilings, or under floors.
• Nests & Shredded Materials – Clusters of paper, fabric, or insulation used to build nests in hidden areas.
• Burrows & Entry Holes – Holes or tunnels in walls, floors, or outdoor areas near foundations.
• Foul Odors – A musky smell from rodent urine or decomposing rodents in hidden spaces.

Rodent Threat to Health & Property:

Beyond being a nuisance, rodents pose serious health and safety risks to your home or business. A single mouse can produce up to 9,000 toxic droppings per year, contaminating food and surfaces with feces, urine, and saliva. Mice and rats can introduce fleas, lice, and ticks, spreading disease to humans and pets.

Rodents are known carriers of dangerous diseases, including:

• Hantavirus – A potentially fatal respiratory disease with no known cure.
• Tularemia, Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis, and Murine Typhus – Spread by mice.
• Bubonic Plague, Weil’s Disease, Toxoplasmosis, and Trichinosis – Transmitted by rats.

Beyond health risks, rodents can cause severe property damage by burrowing through walls, chewing electrical wiring, and destroying furniture. Their presence can harm your business’s reputation and pose safety hazards.

Rodent Prevention

Prevention is key in controlling rodents on your property. Rats and mice reproduce quickly so it is important to act as soon as you notice signs. The most effective approach to prevent rodent infestation and contact with rodents is to remove food sources, water, and items that provide shelter for rodents.

Essential Prevention Tips:

• Seal Entry Points – Close gaps around doors, vents, and walls.
• Secure Trash – Use tight-fitting lids and keep bins clean. Avoid putting food in recycling.
• Declutter & Store Smart – Keep areas tidy and use hard-walled containers for storage.
• Protect Food Sources – Store food in airtight containers and clean up spills immediately.
• Maintain Cleanliness – Wipe surfaces, wash dishes promptly, and avoid leaving food out.
• Outdoor Maintenance – Trim overgrown vegetation and remove debris around buildings.
