Rodent and Mouse Control Services

Rodents, including mice and rats, are some of the most common complaints among homeowners across Wisconsin – especially as temperatures begin to drop. Not only are they unsightly, but they also are known to carry disease and damage property by chewing through walls, cables and other wires. Usually, you won’t see these critters first-hand. Common signs of a rodent infestation are droppings, food packages that have been chewed through or the sound of scratching in your walls. These all indicate you are probably dealing with mice or rats. If this is the case, contact a pest control professional immediately for rodent and mice control.

 

Rodent Control For Your Home

The Terminix Wil-Kil Pest Control team is here to protect your home from the dangers of rodents. When you call us for help, you can count on customized service tailored to your property’s needs. With each service, we take the following steps:

  • Comprehensive inspection.We’ll look for an existing rodent presence and inspect the property for structural vulnerabilities that could lead to further infestation.
  • Targeted treatments. Using both reactive and proactive methods, we’ll take care of any existing infestation and set up preventative measures to deter new ones.
  • Ongoing prevention. We’ll come back to provide ongoing treatments to continue ensuring your rodent problem stays gone.

Signs You Need a Rodent Exterminator

Rats and mice 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.

Why You Shouldn’t Ignore a Rodent Infestation

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.Rats and mice are known to carry many diseases, from salmonella and hantavirus to plague. These pathogens can spread through rodents’ bodily fluids, such as droppings, urine, and saliva. Rarely, they can be spread through bites.
  • 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.

Commonly Asked Questions

Yes, when we are inspecting for and treating mice, we need to go inside your home. Because we do have to go inside, we will call in advance and schedule a specific time for your service.
Mouse 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 for mice, 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.
Our goal is to help you in the shortest time possible. We make every effort to be there the same or next day.
Mice 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 Terminix Wil-Kil 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 mice is two-fold. You need to eliminate the mice that are in your home already so they don’t multiply, but you also must find out how mice 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 mouse or rodent problem, but they will also help to prevent them from coming back in the future.
