Rodent Control
Rats, mice, and other rodents are continuously searching for the things they need to survive -- food, water, and shelter. Residential and commercial buildings provide what rodents need to nest and breed. Effective control calls for Integrated Pest Management (IPM) techniques to remove existing rodents and exclude rodents from re-infesting. Our IPM method addresses the components of the rodent control process from inspections through follow-up and monitoring.
When they find a safe nesting place, their numbers can explode quickly. Urban areas are desirable because of the proximity to large amounts of humans and the garbage we create. Recent trends towards warmer winters and hotter summers lead to longer breeding seasons.
Rodents Are Health Risks and Cause Extensive Property Damage
Rodents carry and transmit many disease-causing organisms through direct contact with food sources and surfaces. Their droppings and urine are hazardous in indoor areas they infest. They leave Hantavirus in their nesting material and dusty areas. Contaminated material becomes airborne and can be inhaled by humans and other animals. The virus causes Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, a lung disease that can be fatal.
They also transmit Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCM), Plague, Tularemia, Leptospirosis, and Rabies, among many other illnesses caused by bacterial and viral infections. They present significant emotional and psychological wellness issues, and it is challenging to value the peace of mind and security provided through effective professional pest control. Professional control protects families, employees, and customers and is environmentally friendly. Do-it-yourself attempts can be dangerous to human health. Improperly used rodent poisons create hazardous exposure for people and pets.
These pests constantly gnaw on insulation, wiring, pipes, and wood. They tear apart building materials to build their nests and breeding spaces. They chew on concrete to keep their ever-growing incisors in check. In addition to physical property damage, a rodent infestation can destroy a business's reputation and goodwill with customers. The governmental regulatory and health issues that rodent infestations create are expensive and lead to unproductive downtime in the best-case scenario.
Professional Rodent Control Includes Effective Exclusion Practices
Effective exclusion requires eliminating food sources, including trash receptacles and stored food, elimination of breeding and nesting spaces, and implementing exclusionary structures to prevent future entry. Our experience and understanding of building and construction technology allow us to recognize existing entry pathways and weaknesses in structures. We present recommendations and a plan for remediation or exclusionary material needed to keep them from getting inside your property in the first place. Our regular follow-up and monitoring will ensure that your exclusionary materials are intact and working correctly.
