Detailed Overview of Pest Prevention Solutions
Our rodent control services are designed to be thorough, effective, and tailored to each unique situation. We take a comprehensive approach that addresses both the immediate problem and the long-term prevention of future infestations.
Inspection and Assessment
The first step in our rodent control process is a detailed inspection of your property. This allows us to identify the type of rodent, the extent of the infestation, and potential entry points. We look for signs of rodent activity such as droppings, gnaw marks, and nests. We also assess any structural issues that may be contributing to the problem.
Identifying the Rodent Species
Different rodent species require different treatment approaches. For example, mice and rats have different behaviors and food preferences. Accurately identifying the species is crucial for selecting the most effective methods. For example Roof Rats are common in Memphis, requiring specialized trapping techniques.
Assessing Entry Points
Rodents can enter your home through incredibly small openings. We meticulously inspect your property to identify and seal these entry points. This may include sealing cracks in the foundation, repairing damaged screens, and trimming overgrown vegetation.
Treatment and Removal
Once we have a clear understanding of the problem, we develop a customized treatment plan. Our treatment methods are safe, effective, and environmentally responsible. We use a combination of techniques, including trapping, baiting, and exclusion, to eliminate the existing rodent population.
Trapping
Trapping is an effective method for removing rodents from your property without the use of chemicals. We use a variety of traps, including snap traps, live traps, and glue traps, to capture rodents. Our technicians are trained in the proper placement and maintenance of traps to maximize their effectiveness.
Baiting
Baiting involves using rodenticides to eliminate rodents. We use tamper-resistant bait stations to protect children and pets. Our technicians carefully monitor bait stations to ensure they are effective and to prevent any unintended harm to non-target animals.
Exclusion
Exclusion involves sealing entry points to prevent rodents from re-entering your property. We use a variety of materials, including steel wool, caulk, and metal flashing, to seal openings. Our exclusion methods are designed to be durable and long-lasting.
Sanitation and Prevention
After eliminating the existing rodent population, we focus on sanitation and prevention to prevent future infestations. This includes cleaning up rodent droppings, removing food sources, and educating you on how to prevent rodents from returning.
Cleaning Up Rodent Droppings
Rodent droppings can carry harmful diseases. We use specialized equipment and cleaning solutions to safely remove and disinfect areas contaminated by rodent droppings. This helps to protect your health and prevent the spread of disease.
Removing Food Sources
Rodents are attracted to food sources. We will identify and remove any potential food sources from your property and also educate you on how to properly store food and dispose of garbage to prevent rodents from returning.
Education and Prevention Tips
We believe in empowering our customers with the knowledge and tools they need to prevent future rodent infestations. We provide you with practical tips and advice on how to maintain a rodent-free environment.
The Bane of Homeowners in Memphis: Identifying the Signs and Taking Quick Action
Rodents aren't just a nuisance; they pose real threats to your health, property, and peace of mind. Understanding the signs of an infestation and common problems will help you determine if you need professional pest control and rodent control services.
Food Contamination Concerns: Rodents Ruining Your Stored Goods
If you've noticed gnaw marks on your cereal boxes or have found droppings near your pantry, these are telltale signs that rats or mice have decided to make a feast out of your stored goods. The implications are serious: contaminated food should be discarded to protect your health. Rodents carry diseases like salmonellosis and hantavirus, which can be transmitted through contaminated food. Our expert team addresses this by locating where rodents are accessing your home and food supply, cleaning contaminated areas, and establishing preventive measures to keep rodents away from your food.
Chewed Wires: A Hidden Fire Hazard
One of the most dangerous habits of rodents is their constant gnawing, which often extends to electrical wires. When rodents chew through the insulation of wires, it creates a significant fire hazard. Short circuits and electrical fires can result, leading to extensive property damage and endangering lives. If you've noticed flickering lights, a burning smell with no visible source, or unexplained power outages, chewed wires could be the culprit. Our professionals thoroughly inspect your property’s wiring, repair or replace damaged wires, and implement protection strategies to prevent rodents from accessing and chewing on them in the future.
Nesting and Structural Concerns: When Your Home Becomes a Rodent Hotel
Rodents are always on the lookout for cozy spots to build nests, and sometimes they choose your walls, attic, or crawl spaces. You might hear scratching or scampering sounds coming from these hidden areas, indicating that rodents are actively creating nests. The presence of nests can lead to structural damage as rodents tear apart insulation, drywall, and other materials. Not only that, rodent nests are often infested with parasites like fleas and mites, which can then spread throughout your house. We detect and remove rodent nests, sanitize affected areas, and seal off entry points to prevent rodents from creating new homes inside your property.
Strange Pet Behavior
Pets often detect rodent infestations long before their human counterparts do. If your dog or cat is suddenly fixated on a particular spot, like the baseboard or beneath an appliance, they may be sensing rodent activity. They might whine, scratch, or stare intently at these areas, signaling that something is amiss. We rely on our keen understanding of rodent behavior to identify areas where your pet’s been alerting you to, often finding hidden points of entry or nesting locations. Use of glue traps or snap traps can also pose significant risks to pets. Bait boxes, while helpful in controlling rodent populations, are often tempting to pets. It is very important to find a company that you trust to address your rodent problem safely.
Damaged or Missing Garden Produce Signals a Need for Rodent Control
An otherwise healthy garden can become a target for rodents. They often target vegetable gardens, preying on tomatoes, cucumbers, and leafy greens. Rats and mice cause a lot of damage to garden vegetables. If your home is on the periphery of a densely forested area, you may also experience damage to the exteriors of your potted plants. The signs are typically obvious, including bite marks on your produce, small holes dug around plants, or entire plants being uprooted as rodents search for food. Our team will assess your garden and the surrounding areas, identify the specific types of rodents causing damage, and implement a customized strategy to eliminate the infestation while keeping your garden safe and thriving.
Grease Marks and Smudge Marks: Tracing the Path of Rodent Travel
Rodents tend to follow particular routes as they navigate through your property, and their bodies leave traces of grime. Grease marks, often called 'rub marks', are dark smudges left along walls, baseboards, pipes, and other surfaces that rodents frequently brush against. These marks are most noticeable in areas with high rodent traffic, indicating where they regularly travel. In addition to being unsightly, these marks can also spread bacteria. We will trace these rub marks to identify the rodents' entry points and their nesting locations, allowing us to target the infestation more effectively.
Unexplained Sounds in Walls or Ceilings
One of the unsettling signs of a rodent infestation is hearing unexplained sounds within the walls or ceilings of your home. These noises often include scampering, scratching, or gnawing, and they are more likely to be heard at night when rodents are most active. It can be difficult to pinpoint the exact location of these sounds. This also applies to a house with pets: Animals can often be much louder at night, so many sounds of rats and mice go undetected if an infestation is small. If you've noticed these unusual sounds, then a professional inspection becomes essential. We can accurately assess the extent of the intrusion and implement effective removal and prevention techniques.

Droppings and Urine: Detecting the Evidence of Rodent Infestation
One of the most telling signs of a rodent infestation is finding droppings and urine in various areas around your home. Rodent droppings are typically small, dark pellets that can be found near food sources, along baseboards, or in areas where rodents nest. Mouse droppings are often smaller and smooth, while rat droppings are larger and more tapered. Rodent urine, on the other hand, can leave a strong, musky odor that is hard to eliminate. This odor not only repels people, but it also attracts other rodents. We utilize these signs to identify high-activity areas where rodents are most prevalent. We perform extensive cleaning, sanitation, and deodorization services to remove the health hazards and unpleasant odors associated with rodent waste.
Odorless Mouse Traps as a Primary Strategy
Traditional mouse traps are often treated with scented baits or peanut butter to lure rodents toward the device where they can either be captured or poisoned. But with odorless mouse traps, it is possible to catch pests without the strong scents. These types of traps work well where children or pets are present.
