Effective Rodent Control by Action Termite and Pest Control

Rodent infestations are a common issue faced by homeowners and businesses, especially as the weather cools and rodents seek warmth and shelter. Mice and rats are more than just a nuisance—they can cause significant damage to property, pose health risks, and contaminate food sources. Action Termite and Pest Control offers effective, professional rodent control solutions to ensure that your home or business remains rodent-free.

Why Rodent Control Is Important

Rodents, particularly mice and rats, are not just annoying—they pose real threats to health and property. Some of the key risks associated with rodents include:

  • Property Damage: Rodents chew through materials like wood, insulation, and wiring. Their gnawing can even cause electrical fires, making them a safety hazard.
  • Health Risks: Rodents can carry diseases such as hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella. They spread these diseases through their droppings, urine, and bites.
  • Contamination: Rats and mice can contaminate food supplies and surfaces with their waste, making it unsafe to store food in areas where they have access.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation

Recognizing the early signs of a rodent infestation is essential for prompt action. Look out for these indicators in your home or business:

  • Droppings: Small, dark pellet-like droppings, especially near food sources, under sinks, or in cabinets.
  • Gnaw Marks: Rodents chew on everything from wires to wood and plastic. Look for gnaw marks around entry points and on items in storage.
  • Scratching Sounds: Mice and rats often make scratching noises as they move inside walls or attics.
  • Nests: Rodents use shredded paper, fabric, or insulation to build nests, usually in secluded, dark areas like attics, basements, or behind appliances.
  • Grease Marks: Rats and mice leave oily smudges along walls and baseboards from their fur as they travel along regular pathways.

Action Termite and Pest Control’s Rodent Control Solutions

At Action Termite and Pest Control, we offer comprehensive rodent control services that not only eliminate current infestations but also prevent future invasions. Our approach focuses on Integrated Pest Management (IPM) principles to ensure safe, humane, and long-lasting solutions.

1. Inspection and Assessment

Our experienced technicians begin with a thorough inspection of your property. We identify entry points, nesting areas, and signs of activity. This allows us to develop a customized rodent control plan tailored to your specific needs.

2. Rodent Exclusion

Exclusion is the cornerstone of rodent prevention. We seal off entry points like cracks, gaps around doors and windows, and holes in walls and foundations. This prevents rodents from accessing your home or business in the first place. Common exclusion techniques include:

  • Sealing cracks and holes in exterior walls and foundations.
  • Installing door sweeps and weather stripping.
  • Covering vents and utility openings with mesh.

3. Trapping and Removal

For homes or businesses already experiencing an infestation, Action Termite and Pest Control uses humane trapping methods to remove rodents. Our technicians strategically place traps in high-traffic areas where rodents are most likely to be caught. We use a variety of traps, including:

  • Snap Traps: Effective for immediate rodent control, especially for larger infestations.
  • Live Traps: Humane traps that capture rodents without harming them, allowing for safe relocation.

4. Rodent Baiting

In cases of larger infestations, we may use rodent baiting stations to target areas where rodents are active. Our baiting stations are tamper-resistant to ensure the safety of children and pets. Baiting is most effective in areas that are difficult to access, such as inside walls or crawl spaces.

5. Sanitation and Habitat Modification

Rodents are attracted to food sources and nesting materials. Action Termite and Pest Control provides sanitation recommendations to make your home or business less attractive to rodents. These measures include:

  • Keeping food in airtight containers.
  • Removing clutter and debris where rodents can nest.
  • Regularly disposing of trash and keeping garbage areas clean.

6. Ongoing Monitoring and Prevention

Once the initial infestation is under control, we continue to monitor your property for any signs of rodent activity. We offer ongoing maintenance programs to ensure that your home or business remains rodent-free. Our regular inspections and preventive measures help stop future infestations before they start.

Don’t let rodents compromise the safety, health, and comfort of your home or business. Action Termite and Pest Control offers professional rodent control solutions that address the problem at its source. Whether you’re dealing with a current infestation or looking for long-term prevention, our team has the expertise and tools to keep your property rodent-free.
