Immediate Rodent Control

Types Of Rodents

Norway Rats

These brown rats are the biggest of the common household rodents and commonly known as sewer rats as they need a good amount of water to survive. These rodents will chew through just about anything in their path including drywall, wood, and metal. 

Roof Rats

These black rats tend to find shelter in areas higher in elevation and are known to enter structures through branches that touch the roof of a building. They are the smaller of the 2 common household rat varieties but no less damaging. 

House Mice 

These tiny creatures are the smallest of the household rodents but can pose the largest health and property threats as they reproduce at incredible rates. They also can adapt quickly which make extermination challenging as they learn to avoid traps and baits.

Gophers

These rodents often cause serious problems outside of homes as they are burrowing creatures that can damage to underground utility cables, water lines, and irrigation systems. They are active year-round and can wreak havoc on gardens and agricultural businesses.

Moles

These rodents often cause serious problems outside of homes as they are burrowing creatures that can damage to underground utility cables, water lines, and irrigation systems. They are active year-round and can wreak havoc on gardens and agricultural businesses.

Rodent Management Strategies

Rodent Exclusion

This preventative measure is used for interior and exterior application and identifies and remediates any rodent access points into a home or business. This generally includes sealing foundation cracks, sealing exterior gaps, covering vents, and replacing weather stripping under doors. This is also integral to ensuring that once rodents are removed, they have no way of finding reentry. 

Rodent Traps

There are a wide variety of rodent traps available including glue traps, snap traps, and live traps. Each rodent trap has their own benefits and are all highly effective when placed strategically in areas that are known for high rodent traffic. 

Rodent Baits

Poison baits, known as rodenticides, are bait stations made of chemicals that are lethal for rodent types. All-In-One pest control specialists have been trained to utilize these methods in the safest and most humane way possible to ensure that rodent populations are successfully eliminated. 

How Do I Know I have Rodents 

10 signs that you might need rodent control

1. Musky Odor

The smell of rodent urine can be strong and leave a musky odor as it is generally used to attract mates. This is bad for multiple reasons including the spread of disease as well as the invitation for additional rodent in search of a mate.

2. Rotting Odor

This can be a sign that a rodent has died within the walls of your home and can be a major health hazard.

3. Rodent Feces

This is probably the most common indicator as rodent droppings are the most easily seen sign of an infestation. Like rodent urine, feces can also be another vector for disease and health hazards.

4. Entry Holes

Mice and rats will often chew threw baseboards and drywall to gain access to areas that will lead to food.

5. Odd Pet Behavior

Your pets have much better senses than humans so they will often act erratic in certain areas where rodents are present.

6. Tracks / Runways 

Rodents will often use the same path so if there appears to be what look like tiny footprints in dust or grease smears along baseboards / rafters, this is usually an indicator that a rodent follows that path. 

7. Nests

Shredded paper, cloth, and other soft materials that have been gathered in secluded areas is usually a sign that a rodent has taken shelter and created a home for itself. This is never a good sign as this is indicative of mating and reproducing. 

8. Dirt Mounds

This indicator is for burrowing rodents that are found outside of a home but always points to a burrowing rodent problem. 

9. Chew Marks

Rodents will chew through just about anything to get to their next meal. This includes everything from food packaging to drywall, plastic, metal, and wood. If you see gnaw marks, this is highly indicative that you may have a pest problem. Look for signs in areas like false ceilings and crawl spaces.

10. Scratching Sounds

Rodents are generally nocturnal and can be heard scratching at night in the walls.
