Need a Rodent Exterminator?
Rats and mice are much more than a nuisance. Many people have a strong fear or disgust reaction upon seeing them, and nobody needs that extra stress in their lives! Moreover, rodents can cause damage that goes well beyond the initial moment of fright: without proper remediation, rodents can cause extensive property damage and spread disease. Not everyone learns about their unwelcome guests with a face-to-face encounter, many people discover the problem when they notice rodent droppings near shredded paper or a food source. Unfortunately, if you have a rodent infestation, DIY tools like rat poisons and traps, may not adequately resolve your problem, so it’s best to call in an expert who can identify what kind of infestation you have and the best way to get rid of it.
“Couldn’t have been more satisfied with the service!”
I had Tanner Walker come out as my pest control technician. He assessed the situation with the mice we’d been experiencing and recommended different options and set up traps with dehydrating bait/poison that got rid of them incredibly fast! Couldn’t have been more satisfied with the service and seemed very affordable too. – Tyler D.St. Louis Rodents
Rodents are everywhere – homes, supermarkets, warehouses, food processing facilities, farm fields, and restaurants. They can damage buildings by their gnawing and burrowing activity. Rodents can gnaw through various kinds of materials such as concrete, aluminum siding, and cinder block in order to reach a location.
Rodents are also dangerous— throughout history and around the world, rodents have played a large role in the spread of disease. Advances in science, sanitation, and rodent control methods have thankfully reduced the risk and spread of serious rodent-borne illnesses, but the CDC still identifies them as spreaders of over 35 diseases worldwide. There are other rodent-related health risks that it’s important to be aware of— for example, the house mouse can trigger uncomfortable and even dangerous allergy and asthma attacks in susceptible people.
Health concerns are not the only risks associated with rats and mice. Both are highly destructive, and capable of causing significant property damage wherever they live. Unfortunately, they like to live near humans and one day you might discover that you’ve been living with a secret roommate! Often, they like to settle in basements and attics but they’ve been known to make themselves at home in other places as well.
Rodents 101
On average, rats measure about 16 inches long, but they can grow to be bigger. Mice are much smaller, about 2-4 inches long (that includes their tails). Whether you think they’re adorable or the thought of them makes you want to scream, if you spot one on your property, it’s important to remember that there are almost certainly others that remain unseen, and that it can be both dangerous and ineffective to try and take care of a rodent problem without the proper expertise.
Brown Rat:
Also known as Norway rats, these rats have dark brown hair with large round ears. They are big too, an average of 16 inches long (not including their tail). Watch out, they like to live in your home.
House Mouse:
The house mouse likes to live with humans in their very own house. These tiny mice are less than 4 inches and have brown or black fur. They like to feed on human food or trash.How to Get Rid of Mice & Rats?
If you think you’re dealing with a rat or mouse infestation don’t panic— no matter how gross you think they are! Instead, pick up the phone and call Pure Pest today. Rest assured that we will get rid of your rat or mouse infestation, and that we will do it safely with minimal use of chemicals.
Minimizing the use of chemicals is important because as we mentioned, rodents like to cohabitate with their often oblivious human neighbors. Therefore, we take extra precautions and avoid using products that might be toxic or trigger allergic reactions in our customers. We’ll send over a technician to assess the scope of the problem and they will make a recommendation on what the next steps should be, factoring in all the tools we have available and prioritizing your health, safety, and comfort— no matter what stage of infestation we’re dealing with.
Some of our methods include:
Trapping
Rats and mice are scavengers, and they love finding food— even crumbs— left where they can grab them. This is normally a bad thing because it is one of the reasons that they love to be around humans, Pure Pest technicians know how to use this weakness against the dangerous and destructive little critters. Our bait traps are used to lure the rodents out of their little hidden homes and into our traps.
Poisoning
We use poison when we determine that you’re dealing with an infestation consisting of more than a few rats or mice. Our technicians are strategic and careful when it comes to the use of poison, ensuring that it only impacts the intended targets.
Prevention
The best way to avoid rat and mouse problems is to stop them from entering your home in the first place. If you know of any neighbors who have been dealing with rodents, or have seen them lurking outside, you can call Pure Pest and we can give you prevention tips. You can request that a Pure Pest technician assess your property to identify and seal off any potential rodent entry to protect yourself against future problems.
It is also important to eliminate all rodent attractions such as water and food. We know that most people who are dealing with pest problems are following standard food-related hygiene practices and not intentionally setting up trails of tasty rodent temptations leading to their kitchens! But, there may be food and water sources that you don’t think of as being “out”, but that a rat or a mouse might think of as a buffet for example pantries with unopened boxes of food, or a cabinet with bags of dog or cat treats. When you hire our rodent control experts, we get to the root of your rodent problem, seal all entry points, and take preventative measures to avoid future infestations. We’ll also make sure you have all the tips you need to ensure you’re not accidentally inviting these pests in and to help you keep your property rodent-free!
