Rodent infestations call for customized solutions to target entry points and nesting areas. A wide variety of methods are employed effectively to do rodent control, seal up nests, and sanitize the household.
The following options may be used:
- Baits: Baits are effective for killing off a moderate number of rodents but need to be used correctly so as not to put the health of humans and pets at risk.
- Traps: Traps catch a small number of rodents at a time. Live traps are used to catch rodents without causing harm, while snap traps and glue traps kill individual specimens. Traps are only effective when they are placed correctly in strategic locations.
- Repellants: Repellants are used in conjunction with extermination methods or as a prevention plan. Repellants can be chemical or natural, or sound-based. While this is an effective method for preventing re-infestation, it will not affect the current rodent population in the home.
Modifications may need to be made to structural elements of the house to seal up rodent entry points. Usually, this includes sealing roof holes and foundation cracks using sheet metal, copper mesh, or other non-chewable materials. Centurion Pest Management encourages outdoor treatments and preventative maintenance, such as landscape alteration and chemical treatments. Professional rodent control specialists conduct a property walk-through with you and point out hotspots and areas that may need additional attention.
