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.

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.
