Will a pest control company remove a rodent?
Rodents – they are highly invasive and destructive creatures that can certainly cost distress and headaches to homeowners.
Just the thought about the rats and mice running around your home is gross enough. Imagine seeing them actually sneaking from behind your walls or creeping from a hole in your ceiling. Rodents are more than just nuisances in many ways:
- They are fire and electric hazards as they love to nimble on electric wires and gas lines.
- They leave trails of droppings everywhere which are really messy and yes, gross.
- They can contaminate your food and water.
- They are carriers of serious illnesses such as rat-bite fever, leptospirosis, Salmonellosis and Bubonic plague.
Controlling and permanently eliminating rodents can be a very difficult task. Desperate homeowners often turn to pest control companies for help. But, are they always the best persons to turn to?
Pest control companies are supposed to help you get rid of pests such as rodents from your home. Yet you need to watch out. Sometimes, you may wind up with more problems than you started out with.
You may be asking now, will a pest control company be able to permanently remove a rodent from my property?
The long answer is - they try, but sometimes they do a bad job with poisons. Some pest control companies are using poisons inappropriately to deal with the rodents, which is definitely not the best solution. While rodent poisons can eliminate a few rodents, it does not guarantee a permanent solution to the problem. For those who are not comfortable about the idea of killing the rodents, using poisons is certainly not the most humane ways to get rid of the rodents. On top of that, poisons are highly toxic and they can cause accidental poisoning which can kill children and pets. They can also make the adults around very sick. For these reasons, poisons should not be used to eliminate the rodents. And you should consider this before calling for help from a pest control company to remove rodents from your home.
Rodent Prevention – Your Best Defense against Rodent Infestation
Clearing out the rodents permanently can be challenging since rodents are naturally smart creatures. They can easily sense danger and will almost always find ways to escape from it. They can also easily grow in number uncontrollably since they can breed and multiply quickly.
Getting help from pest control companies can cost you a lot of money. In addition, not all of them may be able to provide you with the permanent and safe solution.
In this case, the best thing you can do is to prevent rodents from invading your home. Make sure that your home and yard are rodent-proof. Clear out your yard from potential hiding places for the rodents. Check for gaps and holes which can provide entry points for the rodents. Make sure you clean the trash area and secure the cover of your trash cans. Promptly clean leftover foods and never leave pet foods out in the open.
