How Do You Know If You Need a Rodent Exterminator?
Mice and rats in Wisconsin are sneaky creatures that prefer to stay out of sight, so you’re unlikely to see them in person. However, they will still leave signs behind. Below are a few of the things you might notice if you have a rodent problem in your home or business.
Scratching Noises: Rodents avoid contact with people by moving around inside walls and ceilings – mostly at night, while we’re asleep. If you notice scratching noises coming from your walls, you may have a rodent highway on your hands.
Gnaw Marks: Rodents have to gnaw almost constantly to keep their teeth from overgrowing. Their teeth are also very hard – strong enough to chew through steel. They’ll gnaw wood, drywall, and even electrical wiring. On top of this, they’ll chew on furniture, paper, and other soft items to get nesting material. Look for gnaw marks in hidden corners of your property, as well as on furniture and in cupboards.
Droppings or Urine Stains: Rodents aren’t picky about where they go to the bathroom. Look for small, slightly cone-shaped droppings and dark liquid stains in out-of-the-way places and near food sources.
Nests and Burrows: Certain rodents may dig burrows outside, particularly near building foundations and gardens. Those who choose to nest indoors will do so in hidden areas, such as unused drawers, attic corners, sheds – anywhere they’re unlikely to be disturbed. Look for piles of soft material like fabric, plastic, string, and more.

Never Ignore a Rodent Infestation – Here’s Why
Rodents may be small, but the impact they can have on your safety and well-being is anything but. Rodents can spread disease, cause structural damage, and contaminate food if not dealt with promptly. We’ll go into more detail about each of these below.
Health Hazards: Rodent health hazards are a genuine threat to your health and well-being, from salmonella to hantavirus. These pathogens can spread through rodents’ bodily fluids, such as droppings, urine, and saliva. They can also be spread through bites, though that’s rarer.
Structural Damage: As we mentioned before, rodent teeth are hard, and they rarely stop gnawing. They can even cause structural damage by chewing through wood and drywall, and if they make their way to the building’s wiring, they can even cause a fire risk. Any of these problems can present safety risks – not to mention extensive (and expensive) repairs.
Food Contamination: Whether you sell or serve food or just keep food onsite for your employees, rodents pose a huge risk to that food’s safety. Rodent droppings, urine, and saliva can contaminate the food – they can even spread bacteria simply by walking around on your food supplies. This contamination can lead to product recalls, health code violations, damaged reputations, and sick people.
What’s the Most Effective Rodent Control Method?
Trapping and removing rodents is a critical step, but it’s often just a temporary fix. Rodents will likely try to get back inside. That’s why rodent exclusion is arguably the most important and effective approach to rodent control. It’s economical, highly effective, and great for long-term prevention.
Key advantages of opting for rodent exclusion include:
Offers a sustainable, eco-friendly approach to pest control
Permanently seals entry points to block out rodents and other wildlife
Provides robust, long-lasting durability against future infestations
Delivers ongoing, long-term defense for the interior of your home
Safeguards your property from a variety of different pests simultaneously
Stands up to even the most severe weather conditions

Rodent control is an ongoing process, depending on the severity of the infestation, we may come quarterly, monthly, or even weekly. There are a variety of treatment methods, ranging from blocking their access to your home (exclusion), to snap traps or rodent bait. Some situations require external devices, others do not. Your technician will discuss their treatment and frequency recommendation with you when they are at your home for service.
Yes. In a residential environment, any materials used will be approved by the EPA for use inside of homes and will be housed in tamper-proof equipment to protect your pets and family.
The initial inspection will take no longer than an hour and a half for the average home. The length and frequency of follow-up treatments will depend on the severity of your issue and the size of your home. 30-minutes is average.
Mice, rats, and other rodents are experts when it comes to searching for and finding water, food sources and warmth – something most homes have! While many falsely believe that only “dirty” homes have mouse problems, even the cleanest homes can have issues. The problem has more to do with the exterior of your home and whether there are openings that allow mice to enter than it does the cleanliness of your home.
That’s not to say that leaving food and garbage out isn’t a contributing factor to a mouse issue though. Where the absence of food and garbage doesn’t necessarily mean mice won’t come, leaving food and garbage out will encourage them. Mice and rats can scale buildings, jump, and squeeze through openings that are much smaller than them, so it’s pretty easy for them to quickly infest a home.
A Wil-Kil Pest Control pest technician will help you identify and treat the areas on the outside of your building that may be giving these pests access to your home.
The key to “getting rid” of rodents is two-fold. You need to eliminate the rodents that are in your home already so they don’t multiply, but you also must find out how they entered your home in the first place and prevent it from happening again. As you could have guessed, preventing access to your home comes down to what measures you are taking on the outside of your home. Common entry points are through gaps in door or window frames, where pipes and cables enter your home, and even through vents.
A pest technician will not only help eliminate your current problem, but they will also help to prevent them from coming back in the future.
Dependable company. Do what they say. Got rid of the bugs and few mice that I had. Price is reasonable.
