Signs of Rodent Infestation

Rodents are common household pests that can cause extensive damage to property and pose health risks to humans and pets. Whether you are a homeowner or a business owner, dealing with rodent infestations can be stressful and overwhelming. Here we will cover the signs of rodent infestation, the health risks they pose, and effective control methods. Our goal is to provide you with the information you need to identify rodent infestations in your South Florida home or business and take effective rodent removal measures.

Droppings and Urine Stains

Rodents leave droppings and urine stains near their nesting and feeding areas. These droppings can be found in areas such as the kitchen, pantry, and basement. They can also be found in cupboards, drawers, and behind appliances. Urine stains may be visible on walls and floors.

Gnaw Marks and Damaged Property

Rodents have strong teeth, and they use them to gnaw through almost anything. This includes boxes, bags, and even electrical wires. Rodents may also chew through wood, plastic, and insulation, causing serious damage to property.

Nests and Burrows

Rodents build nests using materials such as paper, fabric, and insulation. These nests are often found behind walls, in attics, and in basements. Burrows may be found in outdoor areas such as gardens and around the foundation of a building.

Scurrying Noises and Unusual Pet Behavior

Rodents are active at night and may be heard scurrying through walls or ceilings. Cats and dogs may also exhibit unusual behavior, such as staring at walls or sniffing around areas where rodents are present.

Health Risks of Rodent Infestation

Rodents are not merely an annoyance; they pose significant health risks to humans and pets. Their presence can lead to a host of health problems that can be severe and sometimes even life-threatening. In this section, we will delve into the various health risks associated with a rodent infestation, understanding why it’s crucial to take immediate action at the first sign of these unwelcome guests in your home or business.

Disease Transmission

Rodents can carry and transmit a variety of diseases to humans and pets. These include Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis. These diseases can cause serious health issues and may even be life-threatening.

Allergies and Asthma Triggers

Rodent droppings and urine can trigger allergies and asthma symptoms in humans and pets. This can be especially problematic for people with pre-existing respiratory conditions.

Contaminated Food and Water Sources

Rodents contaminate food and water sources with their droppings and urine. This can lead to food poisoning and other health issues.

Fire Hazards

Rodents often chew through electrical wires, increasing the risk of electrical fires. This can put people and property in danger.

Effective Rodent Control Methods

Now that we’ve explored the signs of a rodent infestation and the health risks associated with them, it’s time to focus on the most crucial aspect – effective rodent control methods. In this section, we’ll delve into various strategies that can help prevent and control a rodent infestation in your Coral Springs home or business, ensuring a safer and healthier environment.

Inspection and Assessment

Our technician begins your rodent extermination service by thoroughly inspecting your home or business. Looking for signs of rodent activity such as droppings, gnaw marks, and nests. Identify entry points and burrows.

Exclusion and Entry Point Sealing

Once entry points have been identified, we seal them off to prevent rodents from entering. This may include sealing cracks in walls, securing gaps in doors and windows, and covering vents with wire mesh.

Trapping and Removal

We then use our advanced trapping and baiting techniques to eliminate any mice or rats that have moved. We place these tamper-proof bait stations in strategic locations around your home to give you total pest protection.

Monitoring and Prevention

We’ll return to your home and maintain your stations as part of our annual rodent service protection plan. This ensures you have uninterrupted protection from rats and mice. For additional ongoing protection, we also recommend keeping food areas clean and secure and maintaining a clutter-free home or business.

Rodent FAQs

How can I keep rodents away?

The rules for rodent prevention are much the same as those for keeping most types of pests out of your home. The steps you can take include:

Sealing food: Storing foods like cereals, pasta, crackers, and chips in the boxes and bags they came in can provide an easy meal to rats and mice. Transfer foods from containers that can be chewed through into tightly sealed glass or plastic containers.
Sealing garbage cans: An unlidded garage can or one with a loose lid is an irresistible invitation to rodents.
Keeping kitchens and bathrooms neat: Make sure rodents are feasting and drinking while you’re sleeping by removing all sources of food and water before you go to bed. Dirty dishes and food spills will attract rodents and all of their friends.
Trimming your landscape: Eliminating the “highways” rodents may use to get inside can help. Keep branches and foliage trimmed back well away from the exterior walls of your house. Also look for spaces around the spots where cables, plumbing, and other utilities come through your walls from the outside—depending on the size of the hole, you can seal it with caulk, silicone, steel wool, and other materials that completely block rodents’ entry.
Emptying pet dishes: Indoors and outdoors, make sure your pet’s food and water bowls are empty and dry at the end of the day.

How do you keep rodents off your property?

To help keep rodents out of your yard, start by eliminating sources of food and water in your lawn. This includes tightly lidding your garbage cans, cleaning up thoroughly after eating outdoors, getting rid of standing water, and fixing any leaks in water hoses. Also, trim back shrubbery and tree branches away from your home to help reduce the places they can hide. Then to help keep them from getting inside your home, seal up openings that are the size of a quarter or more. Make sure there aren’t tears in screens, put weatherstripping around doors and windows, and so forth. Inside, proactively prevent rats and mice from feeling at home by making it difficult for them to access food and water.

Where do rodents nest?

Nests may be in various places depending on the type of rodent you have. Roof rats prefer to nest in trees and attics, while Norway rats tend to burrow into the ground to nest. Mice will nest just about anywhere indoors, using anything they can find to build their nests.

What are the signs of a rodent infestation?

You may notice the signs that rats or mice are present before you even see one. Here are some of the indications that rodents are invading:

– Droppings close to their nesting sites and wherever they’re finding food. They’ll also leave droppings behind as they move through your house.
– Rodents must gnaw to keep their teeth from becoming overgrown and chew to create entry points. You may see where they’ve chewed on wood, floors, and walls.
– Rats and mice won’t hesitate to chew through food packages, whether it’s cardboard, paper, or plastic.
– Rodents can make a mess when they’re building and maintaining their nests. Look for shredded materials, such as insulation, paper, fabric, or dried plant debris.
– You may also notice unpleasant odors, which can come from the urine they release as they search for food and water. You may also notice a very strong odor from any dead rodents in your home.
– Your pets may signal the presence of rodents. Watch for unusual behavior and attention to certain areas of your home, such as under appliances or furniture.
– Rodents may not weigh much, but they can make some noise, especially at night when they’re most active. You may hear the sounds of scratching and scurrying.

How long does it take to get rid of a rodent infestation?

Not all rodent presences are equal. Some are relatively small populations while others may be quite large. So, all other things being equal, this suggests a timeframe of a couple of weeks to a couple of months, depending on the size. The extermination program used, though, must also include closing off entry points so that new rodents don’t find their way indoors. Otherwise, as some are exterminated, others will arrive to take their place. At Gregory’s, we provide rat and mouse control programs that eliminate current unwanted residents while proactively keeping others away.
