Rodent Control and Removal

RODENTS IN THE HOME
Sometimes rats and mice get indoors, creating a nuisance for homeowners. They can damage property, contaminate food, and transmit many diseases. Therefore, effective control methods are essential. Mice/Rats contaminate food with their urine, droppings, and hair.

DAMAGE/DISEASE TO THE HOME/BUSINESS
Anytime you deal with rodents living in and around the home you always put yourself at risk with disease. Rodents can cause structural damage to buildings by their gnawing and nest-building. They can also cause damage to insulation inside your walls and attic. In rare occasions mice can cause damage to larger appliances or electrical wiring by chewing on wires causing fire hazards and malfunctions that are expensive to repair. Rodents can transmit many diseases including salmonellas (which is food poisoning). Ringworm (fungal disease), and lymphocytic choriomeningitis (which is a respiratory diesease). Voles, which are a type of meadow mouse, specifically can cause unsightly damage to lawns and have been know to kill smaller trees due to gnawing and feeding on the root systems of many plants/trees in Wisconsin.

OUR RODENT SERVICES
Our technicians first step is entering the home and talking to the homeowner and listening to where they hear the noise or have seen the problems. The technician will then search the basement and attic crawl space to locate areas that the rodents are living in and develop a plan of attack to rid the homeowner of the infestation. The technician will search on the outside of the home for areas of location and seal up those areas to prevent future infestations. Our technician will implement a program/plan that the customer is comfortable with and immediately start reducing the population living in and around the home that day. Each plan will vary slightly depending on your unique situation. Call for a quote Today!

PROPER PREVENTION
We will work with the home owner and suggest ideas that will solve the problem instead of masking the problem which other companies may do. We use proper closing materials such as sheet metal or a heavy wire mesh that prevents re-occurrences. We use a monitoring system on the inside of the home so you the homeowner knows exactly how many rodents are entering the home.

EFFECTIVE MEASURE FOR THE HOMEOWNER/BUSINESS OWNER
Obviously, proper sanitation is a major factor in keeping a home free from rodents. However, just because you have rodents in the home doesn't necessarily mean that it is specifically from being unsanitary. Many rodents use the home/business as a nesting place and a home, not necessarily a feeding site. Many times they will leave the home and feed on bird feeders, gardens, pet dishes/food, outside garbage cans, and other areas around your home. You can help reduce problems by eliminating some of these feeding areas or simply moving them farther from your home.
