Georgia Rodent Exterminators And Control

Unfortunately mice and rats live anywhere that humans live.  The rodents have a great ability to survive and adapt.  As they are foraging for food, they inadvertently end up contaminating food storage areas, damaging buildings as well as other kinds of property through their constant burrowing and gnawing.  In addition, they may spread disease to pets and people.

Our experienced technicians will first investigate your home and/or property to determine where the rats and mice are currently living and how they are gaining access to your home or office. In most cases, we find them living in attics and/or basement areas. We will then place traps in strategic locations where the rodents will easy find them. These will be placed in out-of-the-way areas that are not easily accessible or visible to your family for your guests.

We will then come back to check the traps over the next few days and weeks and remove any captured rodents and reset the traps. Once we are convinced that we have captured all of the rats or mice in your home or office, we will then remove the traps.

We will also seal up their primary access points to prevent further infestation from that area. We can also offer you a complete home exclusion service that will seal up all potential access points around your home or office to ensure that you have no further problems in the future.

Prevention And What To Search For In Your House

Given that rodents are so secretive and small, many people tend to be unaware that their are rodents living with them – behind a cabinet, under the house, between floors, in attic spaces and walls.

People frequently find rodent infestations through tell-tale signs of gnawed food packages or mouse or rat droppings.  They are sometimes discovered when taking items out of storage.  At times they get discovered by chance when a serviceman or repairman accesses a crawl space or attic.  Given how elusive they are, it is a good idea to have home inspections periodically.

It is always a very good idea to have a periodic inspection.  Begin by searching for rodent entry points like gaps around wiring and plumbing or ill-fitting door jambs.  Take note of food items that are improperly stored, including pet food.  The main goal of your inspection is discovering any weak areas that can be used by rodents to gain access.

Even trees can provide rodents with access. Carefully note roof eaves.  In order to avoid feeding or attracting rodents, one of the more useful things that can be done by homeowners is to not over feed pets, particularly outdoors.

Pet food should also be store inside pails, and preferably ones made out of metal that have tight fitting lids.  We have seen many situations where holes had been gnawed at the base of a pet food plastic garbage type pail or bag.  Even entire mouse nest have been discovered inside a pet food container.

Garbage and poor sanitation are open invitations for rat infestations.  When sanitation is good, it will efficiently limit how many rats are able to survive around your house.  Good housekeeping should be practice at all time along with proper handling and storage of food around your house.  Proper sanitary practices won’t totally eliminate the potential of rat infestations, but can make your house less well suited for them to thrive in.

The most successful of all rat control methods is building them out and making access into your living areas as impossible as you can.  All small openings and holes need to be sealed shut.
