Detailed Pest Control Service
Our rodent control service is comprehensive and customized to address your specific needs. We don't just treat the symptoms; we identify and eliminate the source of the problem.
Inspection and Assessment
The first step in our process is a thorough inspection of your property. This includes:
- Identifying rodent species
- Locating entry points (cracks, crevices, holes in walls, around pipes, etc.)
- Finding nesting areas
- Assessing the extent of the infestation
This detailed assessment allows us to develop a targeted treatment plan specific to your property and the type of rodent you're dealing with. We look for telltale signs like rodent droppings, gnaw marks, and rub marks.
Baiting and Trapping
We utilize a combination of baiting and trapping techniques to effectively eliminate rodent populations. This may include:
- Bait Stations: Strategically placed bait stations containing rodenticides to safely and effectively poison existing rodent population. These are tamper-resistant and safe for pets and children when used correctly.
- Snap Traps: Traditional snap traps for immediate rodent elimination
- Glue Boards: Glue boards strategically laid out to trap rodents
- Live Traps: Humane live traps, especially in situations where relocation is preferred or required by HOA.
Our technicians are trained to strategically place baits and traps in areas where rodents are most active, ensuring maximum effectiveness. We take safety precautions to prevent accidental exposure to non-target animals.
Exclusion and Prevention
Preventing future infestations is just as important as eliminating the current problem. Our service includes:
- Sealing entry points with rodent-proof materials (sealant, steel wool, wire mesh)
- Repairing damaged screens and vents that could allow rodent entry
- Providing recommendations for landscaping and structural modifications to minimize attractants and access points
We'll advise you on how to maintain a rodent-proof environment by addressing potential food and water sources and minimizing harborage areas around your property. A dry environment is a less supportive environment for pests.
Sanitation and Cleanup
Rodent infestations can leave behind unsanitary conditions. We offer:
- Removal of rodent droppings and nesting materials
- Disinfection of contaminated areas.
- Odor control to eliminate lingering smells
Proper sanitation is essential to prevent the spread of diseases and to create a healthy living environment. We offer deodorization to eliminate lasting odors that attract more rodents.
Follow-Up and Monitoring
We provide follow-up visits to monitor the effectiveness of our treatment and make adjustments as needed. This ensures that we completely eliminate the rodent population and prevent future issues. Our follow-up services include:
- Regular inspections
- Re-baiting or replacing traps as needed
- Ongoing preventative measures
We are always available to answer your questions and address any concerns you may have. Your satisfaction is our top priority.
Common Problems That Require Ant And Rodent Control in Mountain View
Rodent Droppings
Finding rodent droppings in your home is a clear indicator of an infestation. Mouse or rat droppings can carry diseases like Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis. Proper removal and disinfection are crucial to protect your family's health. Our ant and rodent control services include thorough cleanup and disinfection to eliminate these health hazards.
Gnaw Marks
Rodents have a constant need to gnaw to keep their teeth sharp. Finding gnaw marks on furniture, walls, or electrical wires is a sign of their presence. Gnawing on electrical wires poses a significant fire hazard. Our services eliminate the rodent threat and help you identify and repair any damage caused by their gnawing.
Scratching Noises in Walls or Ceilings
Hearing scratching noises, especially at night, is often a sign of rodents moving within your walls or ceilings. This indicates an active infestation that needs immediate attention. Our technicians can locate the source of the noises and eliminate the rodents from your home.
Rodent Nests
Rodents build nests in hidden areas using materials like paper, fabric, and insulation. Discovering a nest confirms their presence and the need for immediate control measures. We locate and remove rodent nests, sanitizing the area to prevent further infestation and disease.
Foul Odors
A musty or ammonia-like odor can indicate a rodent infestation, particularly in enclosed spaces. The smell comes from urine and feces and can be quite unpleasant. Our ant and rodent control services include thorough cleaning and odor control to restore a fresh and healthy environment in your home. This can involve disinfecting potentially infected areas.
Damaged Food Packaging
Finding opened or damaged food packaging in your pantry is a common sign of rodents. They can contaminate food with bacteria and pathogens, making it unsafe to consume. Our service targets the rodents that are contaminating your food supply and helps you implement strategies to protect your stored food items. You might as well throw away contaminated foods.
Grease Marks Along Walls
Rodents often leave dark grease marks along walls and baseboards as they travel through your home. These marks indicate frequently used pathways and can help us identify key areas to target. Our technicians use these marks to identify rodent pathways and apply control measures effectively.
Pet Behavior Changes
If your pets are suddenly more alert and focused on certain areas of your home, they may be sensing the presence of rodents. Pets can detect rodents before humans do, so pay attention to these changes. Our pest control experts can assess the situation and determine if rodents are present, even if you haven't seen any direct signs.
Increased Allergen Levels
Rodent infestations can exacerbate allergies and asthma symptoms. Rodent dander and droppings can trigger allergic reactions and respiratory issues. Eliminating the rodents and cleaning affected areas can significantly reduce allergen levels in your home. We assist in sanitizing rodent-infested areas to reduce allergens.
Dead Rodents
Finding dead rodents in or around your home indicates a larger infestation. It's important to remove dead rodents promptly to prevent the spread of disease and unpleasant odors. Our service includes safe and sanitary removal of dead rodents, as well as measures to prevent future deaths.
Unexplained Water Leaks
Rodents can chew through pipes in search of water, leading to leaks. Such damage needs immediate attention to prevent water damage and structural problems. Our pest control services can help identify and eliminate the rodent presence, while also assisting in directing you to the resources needed when repairing water damage.
Damaged Gardens
If you find signs of rodents in your garden, such as gnawed plants or burrow holes, it's important to take action to protect your landscaping. Rodents can damage plants, vegetables, and even underground irrigation lines. Our services extend to garden areas, providing trapping and exclusion methods to keep rodents away from your plants.
Disturbed Bird Feeders
Rodents are attracted to bird feeders, often climbing up to access the seeds. If you notice bird feeders being emptied frequently or damaged, it could be due to rodent activity. Our services can help you properly secure bird feeders and implement rodent control measures around your yard. Consider removing food sources when you're unable to control pests.
Chewed Wires in Your Car
Rodents sometimes seek shelter and warmth in car engines, where they may chew on wires. This can cause significant damage to your vehicle. Our services include trapping and exclusion measures to deter rodents from nesting in your car, helping you protect your vehicle from costly damage. Often, damage happens when cars are parked outside for extended periods of time.
Food Spoilage
Rodents are not picky eaters and will sample all open food items. This behavior is incredibly unsanitary and presents a major health risk to your family. Throw away any open food items and contact a professional promptly.
Droppings around food
Rodents are very comfortable leaving droppings around food; this often occurs in pantries. If you see a lot of droppings in enclosed locations, consider moving food to different locations to prevent further contamination.
DIY Methods Not Working
Many homeowners try to tackle rodent infestations themselves with store-bought traps and repellents. However, these methods are often ineffective for larger infestations and fail to address the underlying causes. Professional pest control services provide a more comprehensive and effective solution. Rodents can easily adapt to DIY pest control products purchased in stores.
Multiple Sightings in a Day
Regular rodent sightings even during the day indicate a severe infestation. Rodents are generally nocturnal, so seeing them during the day suggests a large population. Don't delay if you see a rodent in your house. Contact a pest control professional.
Landscaping Damage
Rodents can cause significant landscaping damage. Holes in your grass or soil can signify a pest issue. Check your landscaping for rodents and monitor your plants for signs of eating.
Constant eating
Rodents can eat up to 20 times per day, so keep an eye out for consistent eating behavior. If you notice plants decaying around you, contact a pest professional and move food supplies elsewhere.
