Our Rodent Control Process
#1.) Inspection
Our technicians begin by conducting a comprehensive inspection of your premises to detect any indications of mice or rat presence.
In Addition, we will pinpoint any possible entryways that could facilitate the entry of mice and rats onto your property.
#2.) Treatment
Our team will begin our most efficient and environmentally friendly rodent management techniques based on our inspection results.
This could involve the utilization of traps, baits, or monitoring systems strategically positioned to safely and humanely capture rodents.
We employ trapping in structures where only a few rats are present. Trapping will be a highly effective control method, particularly in residential properties, garages, and similar structures where the rodent population is limited.
Trapping offers numerous advantages:
- It avoids the use of inherently hazardous poisons
- It enables confirmation of rat elimination
- It facilitates the disposal of rat carcasses, preventing potential odor issues associated with indoor poisoning
Nevertheless, trapping proves futile if measures to prevent reinfestation are neglected.
#3.) Prevention
In addition to removing rodent infestation, we extend our service to provide advice and ongoing support to help you prevent future problems.
Our technicians can offer valuable guidance in maintaining your property being cleaned and secured to minimize the risk of attracting rodents.

Recognizing Mice & Rat Infestations
The presence of mice or rats can be detected by droppings or evidence of fresh gnawing. Tacks may be visible in mud or dusty surfaces, while runways and burrows might be located adjacent to buildings or along fences, and under low vegetation and debris
What do mice & rats eat?
Mice and Rats have omnivorous diets, consuming a wide variety of foods with a preference for high-quality options like meat and fresh grains. Rats require 1/2 to 1 fluid ounce of water daily when on dry food, Rats have keen taste, hearing, and sense of smell. They will climb to find food or shelter and they can gain entrance to a building through any opening larger than 1/2 inch across
How quickly can they take over?
Rats have litters of 6 to 12 offspring, born 21 to 23 days after mating. These young rats reach reproductive maturity in about three months. Breeding is most active in spring and fall. The average female has 4 to 6 litters per year. Rats can live up to 18 months, but most die before they are one year old.
The Importance of Controlling House Mice
Due to their diminutive size, house mice can infiltrate homes and other structures much more effortlessly than rats. Consequently, infestations of house mice are likely 10 to 20 times more prevalent than those of rats. Effectively managing these infestations entails implementing measures such as sanitation, exclusion, and population reduction. Sanitation and exclusion serve as preventative tactics, while population reduction, such as trapping or baiting, becomes essential when a mouse infestation is already established.
A pivotal aspect of achieving sustained mouse control is minimizing available shelter and food sources whenever feasible. Trapping proves effective, particularly when an ample number of traps are strategically positioned. Additionally, trapping can serve as a supplementary measure following a baiting program. When contemplating a baiting program, it’s crucial to consider whether the presence of deceased mice may lead to odor or sanitation concerns. In such cases, trapping may be the preferred approach. After eliminating mice, it’s imperative to take preventative steps to exclude them and prevent the recurrence of the problem.
