What Are The Most Common Methods For Rodent Control?Â
The most common methods for controlling rodents depend on a variety of factors, including the location and severity of rodent infestation. Regardless of the approach taken, it is important to have an experienced pest control company on hand to tailor a specific strategy that suits your rodent problem best. Generally, however, the following steps are recommended:Â
Inspection
Any pest control service worth its salt should offer a free inspection as the first step in developing an effective plan of action. During this thorough inspection, pest professionals will systematically search for entry points and assess any active areas of infestation in order to form a comprehensive picture of your pest problem. Moreover, the pest professionals will also strive to uncover potential underlying issues that may be causing or contributing to the pest presence, such as cracks in walls or damage to door frames.Â
Sanitation
Rodent-proofing your property and improving sanitation can help prevent future infestations by eliminating potential food sources, nesting materials, and harborage spaces for mice or rats to inhabit.Â

Rodent Exclusion
Sealing off entry points such as cracks or crevices can also be helpful in keeping pests from entering your home or business space. Silicone caulk is often used for this purpose since rodents cannot chew through it like metal mesh barriers or wood chips can be easily chewed through by them. Â
Baiting/Trapping
Setting up traps inside the affected area can help capture active rodents which will then need to be removed properly in order to ensure no new problems arise from their re-population within that area again down the line.. Additional rodenticides may also need to apply if high levels of infestation are present; these should only be done so under professional supervision however due to risks associated with improper usage/application when dealing with hazardous materials such as rodenticides/poisons etc. Â
Custom Treatment Plan
Depending on each unique situation of the rat problem, additional customized plans may include different types of exclusion techniques (such as snap traps), structural modifications (such as creating buffer zones between living spaces and suspected areas), installation of ultrasonic devices (which emit a noise too high pitched for humans but highly irritating for mice), etc., all tailored towards eradication success rates specific for each individual’s case at hand!
