Eco-Friendly Rodent Control
Rodents are a common household pest that can cause damage to your property and carry diseases. They can also reproduce quickly, which means that a small infestation can quickly turn into a big problem. If you suspect that you have a rodent infestation in your home or business, it's important to address the issue as soon as possible.
Rodents, such as mice and rats, are common household pests that can cause damage to your home and spread disease. Here are some signs to look for if you suspect that rodents are invading your home:
- Droppings: Rodents leave behind small, pellet-shaped droppings that are typically found near food sources or in areas where they travel, such as along walls, in cabinets, or in basements.
- Gnaw marks: Rodents have strong teeth and like to chew on anything they can find, including wood, plastic, and electrical wiring. Look for gnaw marks on baseboards, furniture, and other surfaces.
- Scratching and scampering noises: Rodents are active at night and can be heard scampering and scratching in walls, ceilings, and floors. You may also hear squeaking or chirping noises.
- Nests: Rodents build nests out of materials such as paper, fabric, and insulation. Look for these nests in hidden areas such as attics, basements, and behind appliances.
- Damage to food: Rodents are attracted to food and can cause damage to pantry items, such as cereal boxes or bags of flour. Look for small holes or tears in food packaging.
Voles & Moles
Moles and voles are both small, burrowing mammals that can cause damage to lawns and gardens, but they are different in several ways.
Moles are small, insectivorous mammals that are adapted for a subterranean lifestyle. They have small eyes and ears, and large front paws with sharp claws that they use to dig through soil and create tunnels. Moles primarily feed on earthworms, grubs, and other insects found in the soil, and they can cause damage to lawns and gardens by digging up soil and creating mounds on the surface. Moles are typically solitary animals and are most active at night.
Voles, on the other hand, are small, herbivorous mammals that are also known as meadow mice or field mice. They have rounder bodies and smaller ears than moles, and their front paws are not specialized for digging. Voles primarily feed on plant material, such as grasses, roots, and bulbs, and can cause damage to lawns and gardens by chewing on the roots and bark of plants. Voles are social animals and may form colonies in underground burrows. They are known for eating twice their weight in grass, seeds, and bark every day.
Mice
Mice are another type of rodent that require pest control. They are smaller than rats, but can still cause significant damage to your property. Mice can also carry diseases and can contaminate food and surfaces with their droppings and urine.
Rats
Rats are a common type of rodent that require pest control. They can cause extensive damage to your property by gnawing through walls, insulation, and electrical wiring. Rats can also carry diseases that can be transmitted to humans through their droppings and urine.
