Frequently Asked Questions: Rodent Prevention & Control
1. How do I know if I have a rodent problem?
Rodents are experts at hiding, but some common signs include:
Droppings in pantries, cabinets, or along baseboards
Gnaw marks on food packaging, wires, or furniture
Scratching or scurrying noises in walls or attic at night
Unusual pet behavior (dogs or cats fixated on a certain area)
If you notice any of these signs, call us immediately—rodents multiply quickly, and early treatment is key!
2. What rodent control methods do you use?
We take a comprehensive approach, including:
Trapping – For immediate removal of active infestations
Baiting – Strategically placed tamper-resistant bait stations for ongoing control
Exclusion – Sealing entry points to prevent new rodents from entering
3. Do you offer a rodent prevention program?
Yes! Our monthly baiting program is designed to keep rodents under control before they become a problem. We install and maintain tamper-resistant bait boxes around the perimeter of your home or business. These stations attract rodents, eliminating them before they can enter your property.
4. Is the bait safe for pets?
Our bait stations are tamper-resistant and designed to prevent pets from accessing the bait inside. However, we always recommend supervising pets when in areas with bait boxes. While most pets will not be able to open or chew through the stations, very strong or persistent animals could potentially tamper with them. If you have a particularly curious pet, we can help find the best placement to minimize risk.
5. When should I call for rodent issues?
If you see rodent droppings, gnaw marks, or hear noises in walls, call us immediately before the problem worsens.
If you spot a live rodent inside, there are likely more—don’t wait to call!
If you catch one rodent on your own, there could be others nearby—schedule an inspection to ensure the problem is under control.
If you notice an increase in rodents outside your home, consider starting a monthly baiting program to keep them from moving indoors.
6. How long does it take to get rid of rodents?
Eliminating a rodent problem depends on the level of infestation, the size of the property, and environmental factors. Most infestations see a significant reduction within 1-2 weeks, but ongoing prevention is key to keeping them away long-term.
