Rodent Control Before They Move In

Rodents are living all around you. And you probably don’t mind so much as long as they stay in their territory and out of yours. When you think of rodents, the first two you think of are rats and mice. There are others that can invade your home as well. Squirrels, chipmunks, woodchucks and moles are also good reasons to implement rodent control. Plano TX can find even more reasons to call a professional provider who can help, such as Wildlife X Team.

 

Damage in Attics


Your attic can become a coveted source of protection and warmth for rodents. This is not a good thing for you. The first part of rodent control is to find out if you have rodents in your home and get rid of them. An exterminator look for rodents, track them down and get rid of them. Just as importantly, they can clean up after the rodents and point out things you can do to make sure other rodents don’t get into your home.

 

 

Dangers


Other than the obvious threat rodents can pose to you and your family, they can also cause damage to your home and to your health. Rodents like to chew things. Your wiring is a prime target. If they chew through it, you’ve got quite an expense coming your way. The rodents also lto gove et into heating and cooling ducts. Their droppings can get into your ducts and then you will breath in the diseases they can contain.

 

 

Prevention


The easiest way to avoid costly repairs and decontamination is to prevent vermin from getting into your home in the first place. Rodent control is easy if you make sure you replace worn or damaged shingles and rotted wood, secure your attic vents, add wire with spines to ledges to prevent perching, trim your trees back four to six feet away from your roof and be diligent if you notice any signs of rodents being in your house. Call an exterminator immediately if you suspect there’s a rodent intruder in your home. The longer you wait, the more damage that can be done. Don’t try to remove the animal, whether they’re alive or not, by yourself. Let an exterminator who knows how to safely handle things like this do it. They’ll be sure to sanitize the area so you aren’t at further risk.

Excellent company. When we heard sounds in the attic, they had one of their people here the same day. After giving us a treatment recommendation, he scheduled the service tech for the next day. Service technician arrived right on schedule and did a great job. Great service.
