Generally speaking, rats and mice don’t pose a significant problem as long as they remain outdoors. And as a pest control company, there is little, if anything, we can do to control a neighborhood-wide rodent problem. That work falls within the scope of the community’s health department. Rats or mice inside the home are a different matter.Most of the calls we get for rat control are triggered by noises in the attic or walls at night, and/or evidence of rats in the garage or storage areas. Our contract for regular pest control services includes service to control rats and mice. Rodent control begins with an inspection of the property. We will try to figure out how the rodents are gaining access to the interior areas. Locating and sealing up the rodent entry points is critical to achieving any decent level of control. If the entries are closed off, any attempts at baiting or trapping will do nothing more than “harvest" the rodents as new ones find their way in.Once we have found as many entries as we can locate and our customer has taken steps to close them up, all that remains is elimination of the rodents in the structure. This can be accomplished by baiting or trapping.It is important to keep in mind that rodents may want to get past our efforts to keep them out. They can create new openings into the building or find others that we might have overlooked. Rodent control is not a “do it once and forget it" kind of a job. If you live in an area where rodents have been a problem, you need to keep a watchful eye for new signs of rodent activity and further maintenance may be required.Contact us for all your Fresno Pest Control needs.Fresno Web Design
