Having to deal with a rodent problem is harrowing, whether it’s the first time or the fiftieth. Nobody enjoys seeing furry little critters dart behind the refrigerator, or scurry across your living room floor. And when you consider the potential health problems involved? Gross. Not to mention the affect rodents can have on your allergies.
Well, if you weren’t motivated to deal with the rodent problem before, I bet you are now! And you’ve come to the right place, because we’re rodent control experts. This is a common problem, and you can play a big role in solving it. Just be advised, it might take professional help to solve the problem completely.
But let’s get started with your role. Here’s how to deal with these rodents:
- Start with a simple mousetrap
You don’t have to resort to fancy or expensive mousetraps; heck, even the dollar store variety will do. The simple old mousetrap that snaps is fine, but we recommend baiting it with peanut butter instead of cheese. Rodents will still be attracted to it, but it takes some effort to remove; which gives the trap a chance to snap.
Also, be prepared to throw out several rodent bodies while you deal with this problem; those critters procreate fast! Buying cheaper mousetraps will allow you to throw out the entire trap instead, if you prefer.
- Keeping them out for good
Your rodent problem won’t be solved until we find out how they were getting in. Inspect your home’s foundation and exterior walls for possible entry points. Any crack or hole you find should be sealed up, to prevent rodent entry. Additionally, check out the seals on your doors and windows. Weak seals can be shored up with additional weather stripping, which is available at home improvement stores like Lowe’s and Home Depot.
- This sounds like a lot of work
It will take a bit of effort. But in the end, if you perform a thorough job, you should keep those rodents out for good. Alternatively, you can always contact us to take care of the problem for you. We proudly stand by our work, and we can have your home rodent-free in no time.
