Rodent Control and Exterminators
Rodent infestations in homes and businesses pose significant health and safety risks. These pests include rats and mice which can transmit diseases, contaminate food areas with droppings, and even cause property damage by gnawing through building materials like drywall and electrical wiring. It’s essential to be proactive in preventing these infestations and to address any signs of rodent activity immediately. A thorough inspection is needed to identify small entry points that rats and mice can squeeze through to gain access to your home. Expert pest control services offered by Absolute Pest Management provide specialized rodent removal techniques that prioritize safe and effective methods of extermination. Maintenance programs are also available to ensure that once eliminated, rodents don’t return.

Rodent Treatment Options
Rodent infestations require effective and targeted treatment options to ensure a pest-free environment. Trapping, baiting, and removal are the primary methods employed by Absolute. Each technique offers its own advantages and is tailored to the specific rodent issue and the environment in which they’ve taken residence.

Rodent Trapping
Rodent trapping is a strategic method of eliminating unwelcome rodents from your property using live or lethal traps. We identify high-activity areas and then deploy a variety of rodent traps including glue, snap, and live traps. The placement, type of trap, and bait used are crucial for effectiveness so it’s best to let professionals set them up for optimal success.

Rodent Baiting
Rodent baiting uses rodenticides which are a potent method for addressing rat and mouse infestations. These bait stations contain chemical compounds specifically designed to be lethal to rodents which offer an effective solution for rodent control. These methods should be utilized by professionals to ensure the safety of children and pets around your home.

Rodent Removal
Once trapping proves effective, the pest control team ensures the thorough removal of all captured rodents from the premises. This is critical because even dead rodents can pass disease if not handled properly.

Rodent Risks
Rodents present multiple challenges for homeowners, each posing significant risks:
Disease Transmission and Allergens: Rodents can transmit various diseases through their feces, urine, or bites. Their presence in food storage areas can lead to contamination which can pose significant health risks and spread salmonella and E. coli. Their presence can also trigger allergic reactions, hives, and asthma attacks.
Aggressive Behavior: When threatened or cornered, certain rodent species might bite in self-defense. The saliva of some of these rodents contains harmful diseases like Leptospirosis and Hantavirus.
Infestation and Property Damage: Rodents reproduce rapidly which makes infestations escalate quickly if not addressed. Their constant need to gnaw and eat can lead to extensive property damage. They can chew through various materials, including certain metals, wood, and even electrical wires.
Signs of Rodents
Identifying a rodent infestation early is crucial for effective management and removal. Here are the top signs indicating the presence of these pests:
- Droppings: One of the most evident signs of rodents are rat and mouse droppings. The size of the droppings can indicate the type of rodent infesting a home.
- Gnaw Marks: Rodents can chew through various materials including plastic, wood, sheetrock, and wire coatings.
- Nests: Nests are typically found in secluded areas and are made from soft materials like shredded cloth, paper, or insulation.
- Rub Marks: As rodents travel, they often leave behind dark sebum (grease marks) or dirt marks on frequently traversed areas.
- Nocturnal Noises: Scratching sounds within walls at night suggest rodent activity.
- Sightings: Spotting a rodent is a clear sign you have a rodent problem. Given their rapid breeding, seeing one usually means more are nearby.
- Distinct Odors: A musky scent from rodent urine or a rotting smell from deceased rodents can be indicative of their presence.
- Entry Points: Holes chewed through drywall, baseboards, or other materials show rodent access points.
- Pet Behavior: Pets have heightened senses and might act unusual when rodents are in the vicinity.
- Dirt Mounds: Dirt mounds from burrowing rodents outside of your home might indicate a rodent issue.
How To Get Rid of Rodents
Rodents like rats and mice, are opportunistic invaders that seek food, shelter, and water within homes. To get rid of rodents:
- Food Control: Store food in sealed containers, clean crumbs from counters, empty garbage cans regularly, wash dirty dishes, and ensure pet food is properly sealed.
- Inspection: Wearing protective gear, inspect your home’s interior and exterior for even the tiniest access points.
- Sanitation: Eliminate food and water sources and declutter to reduce hiding spots.
- Trapping: Set traps or monitoring stations near high activity areas. Traps should be placed strategically where rodents are most likely to trigger them.
- Professional Assistance: Engaging a professional rodent exterminator ensures comprehensive rodent control. Experienced technicians utilize secure monitoring stations, rodenticides, and traps to address the infestation. They’ll also monitor for signs like droppings, gnaw marks, and rub marks.
How to Prevent Rodents
- Seal Entry Points: Ensure all potential entry points, both interior and exterior, are sealed off and rodent proof.
- Food Management: Rodents are often attracted by food. Ensure all food is properly contained, messes are cleaned, and garbage is regularly emptied.
- Declutter: A clutter-free environment reduces potential hiding spots for rodents both inside and outside the home.
- Vegetation Maintenance: Trim trees and shrubs near your home to prevent them from acting as pathways for rodents.
- Eliminate Nesting Materials: Remove materials like shredded paper, fabric, insulation, or leaves, as these are attractive nesting materials for rats and mice.
- Seek Professional Help: Regular pest maintenance will ensure that preventative measures are taken, and signs of rodent activity are noticed immediately which can prevent a full-blown infestation.
