Rodent Control Services: Safeguard Your Home from Rats and Mice

Reclaim Your Home: Your Go-To Guide for Rodent Control

There’s nothing worse than discovering you’re sharing your home with uninvited guests—especially the kind with whiskers and tails. Rodents like rats and mice aren’t just annoying; they’re destructive and downright dangerous. If you’ve had enough of these furry intruders, it’s time to take action and reclaim your home!

Why You Need to Act Fast

Rodents might be small, but the problems they cause are anything but:

• Health Hazards: Rats and mice can spread diseases like hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis, putting your family at risk.
• Home Damage: These critters are chewers. They’ll gnaw on your wires (hello, fire hazard), furniture, and even your walls.
• Gross Factor: Let’s face it—no one wants to find rodent droppings in the kitchen or shredded paper nests in the attic.

How to Tell If You Have Rodents

Not sure if you have a problem? Here are some telltale signs:

• Droppings near food, under sinks, or in cabinets.
• Strange scratching or scampering sounds in the walls or ceiling.
• Gnaw marks on furniture, wires, or baseboards.
• A funky, musky smell coming from hidden areas.
• Nests made of shredded paper, fabric, or other soft materials.

5 Steps to Kick Rodents Out for Good

1. Seal Off Their Entry Points
   Rodents are sneaky little things—they can squeeze through holes as small as a dime! Walk around your home and seal up any cracks, gaps, or holes with caulk, steel wool, or heavy-duty mesh.

2. Cut Off Their Food Supply
   If there’s no food to snack on, rodents won’t stick around. Keep your food in airtight containers, clean up crumbs right away, and make sure your trash cans are tightly sealed.

3. Clear the Clutter
   Rodents love hiding in piles of junk. Take a weekend to declutter your home, especially storage areas like basements, garages, and attics.

4. Use Traps or Baits
   Set up traps in areas where you’ve noticed activity—behind appliances, along walls, or in the attic. Whether you go for snap traps, glue traps, or bait stations, just be sure to use them safely, especially if you have kids or pets.

5. Call in the Pros
   Sometimes, DIY just isn’t enough. A professional pest control service can tackle even the worst infestations and help keep rodents out for good.

Preventing a Comeback

Once you’ve shown rodents the door, you’ll want to keep it that way. Here’s how:

• Install door sweeps to block gaps under exterior doors.
• Trim back tree branches and shrubs that touch your home.
• Keep your yard tidy and free of debris.
• Do regular home inspections to catch any signs of trouble early.
