Detailed Service Breakdown

Rodent Inspection and Identification

Our service begins with a thorough inspection of your property. We meticulously examine both the interior and exterior of your home or business to identify potential entry points, nesting areas, and signs of rodent activity. Accurate identification of the rodent species is crucial for selecting the most effective treatment methods. We look for telltale signs such as droppings, gnaw marks, rub marks, and rodent runways.

Interior Inspection

Inside your property, we focus on areas that are attractive to rodents, including kitchens, attics, basements, garages, and crawl spaces. We examine food storage areas, plumbing penetrations, and other potential entry points. We use specialized equipment, such as borescopes and thermal imaging cameras, to detect rodents in hard-to-reach areas.

Exterior Inspection

Outside your property, we inspect the foundation, landscaping, and surrounding structures. We look for gaps in the foundation, overgrown vegetation, and other conditions that may attract rodents. We also check for signs of rodent burrows and nesting activity near your property.

Rodent Exclusion and Sealing

Preventing rodents from entering your property is essential for long-term control. Our exclusion services involve sealing potential entry points to create a barrier against rodents. We use durable materials such as steel wool, caulk, and metal flashing to seal cracks, gaps, and holes in your foundation, walls, and roof. We also install door sweeps and screens to prevent rodents from entering through doorways and windows.

Sealing Entry Points

We meticulously seal all potential entry points, including gaps around pipes, electrical conduits, and vents. We also seal cracks in the foundation and walls. Our goal is to create a rodent-proof barrier that prevents rodents from entering your property.

Installing Door Sweeps and Screens

We install door sweeps on all exterior doors to prevent rodents from entering under the door. We also install screens on windows and vents to prevent rodents from entering through these openings. These measures are essential for preventing future infestations.

Rodent Trapping and Removal

Trapping is an effective method for eliminating current rodent infestations. We use a variety of traps, including snap traps, glue traps, and live traps, to capture rodents. Our technicians are trained to strategically place traps in areas where rodents are most active. We also use bait to attract rodents to the traps.

Snap Traps

Snap traps are a traditional and effective method for trapping rodents. We use high-quality snap traps that are designed to quickly and humanely kill rodents. We strategically place snap traps in areas where rodents are most active, such as along walls and in corners.

Glue Traps

Glue traps are another option for trapping rodents. We use glue traps that are coated with a sticky adhesive that captures rodents when they walk across them. Glue traps are effective for capturing rodents in areas where snap traps may not be safe or appropriate.

Live Traps

Live traps are a humane option for trapping rodents. We use live traps that capture rodents without harming them. We then relocate the rodents to a suitable habitat away from your property. Live trapping is often preferred by customers who are concerned about the welfare of animals.

Rodent Baiting and Monitoring

Baiting is a supplementary method for controlling rodent populations. We use rodenticides that are formulated to be attractive to rodents. We place bait stations in strategic locations to minimize the risk to non-target animals and humans. We regularly monitor bait stations to track rodent activity and adjust our treatment plan as needed.

Rodenticides

Rodenticides are pesticides that are designed to kill rodents. We use rodenticides that are formulated to be attractive to rodents and effective at killing them. We carefully select rodenticides that are safe for use around humans and pets.

Bait Stations

Bait stations are containers that hold rodenticide bait. We use bait stations to protect the bait from the elements and to prevent non-target animals from accessing the bait. We strategically place bait stations in areas where rodents are most active.

Sanitation and Clean-up

Proper sanitation is crucial for preventing future rodent infestations. We provide sanitation services to remove rodent droppings, nesting materials, and other debris. We also disinfect contaminated areas to eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses. We recommend that you regularly clean your property to remove food sources and eliminate potential harborage areas for rodents.

Removing Rodent Droppings and Nesting Materials

You need to remove all rodent droppings and nesting materials carefully, wearing gloves and a mask to protect yourself from disease. Dispose of contaminated materials in sealed bags to prevent the spread of pathogens.

Disinfecting Contaminated Areas

Use a disinfectant solution to clean all surfaces that may have been contaminated by rodents. Focus on areas where rodents have been active, such as countertops, floors, and walls to eliminate harmful bacteria and viruses.

Ongoing Prevention and Maintenance

Rodent control is an ongoing process, not a one-time fix. We offer ongoing prevention and maintenance services to keep your property rodent-free. Our services include regular inspections, bait station refills, and sealing of new entry points as they appear. We also provide recommendations for preventing future infestations.

Regular Inspections

Schedule regular inspections of your property to detect early signs of rodent activity. Early detection allows you to take action before infestations become severe.

Bait Station Refills

Refill bait stations regularly to maintain their effectiveness. Monitor the bait stations to track rodent activity and adjust the bait as needed.

Sealing New Entry Points

Regularly inspect your property for new entry points and seal them promptly. Pay attention to areas where pipes, wires, and cables enter your building.

Common Problems That Indicate You Might Need Ant & Rodent Control in West Valley City, UT

Dealing with rodents is not just a nuisance; it can lead to serious health risks and property damage. Recognizing the early signs of a rodent infestation is key to preventing significant problems.

Droppings around food packages, in drawers, or under sinks

Finding rodent droppings is a definitive sign of an infestation. Rodent waste can carry diseases such as hantavirus, salmonellosis, and leptospirosis. Our rodent control services include thorough sanitation and disinfection to eliminate these health risks.

Gnaw marks on food packaging or furniture

Rodents need to constantly gnaw to keep their teeth from growing too long. This can result in damage to your property, including furniture, wiring (a fire hazard), and food packaging. Our service identifies and addresses these destructive behaviors, safeguarding your home.

Nesting materials such as shredded paper, fabric, or dried plants.

Rodents create nests in sheltered areas using whatever materials they can find. Discovering nesting materials indicates an active infestation. Our team locates and removes these nests, preventing further breeding and infestation.

Strange noises at night, such as scratching or scurrying

Rodents are most active at night, so unusual noises are often the first sign of their presence. These noises can be unsettling and disruptive. Our rodent control methods silently and efficiently eliminate these nighttime visitors.

A musty odor you can’t explain

A persistent, musty odor can indicate a rodent infestation, especially if it’s localized to a specific area. This smell comes from rodent urine and feces. Our service includes comprehensive odor control to restore clean air in your home.

Seeing a live rodent

Spotting a live rodent is a clear indicator of an infestation that needs immediate attention. Where there's one, there are likely more. Our rapid response team ensures that the problem is dealt with swiftly and effectively to prevent further spread.

Damaged food packaging

If you’re noticing holes, tears, or other damage to food packaging, this is a strong indication that rodents are helping themselves to your pantry. Discard the compromised food items immediately and secure the area. Our comprehensive pest control services can help prevent this food contamination, safeguarding your health and food supply.

Burrows in Your Yard

Check your yard for any small holes (burrows) near the foundation of your home or under bushes. These burrows can indicate outdoor rodent population. Eliminating any rodent population outside will reduce rodent pressure inside your home. Our expert pest control services can give you peace of mind knowing we take a 360-degree approach.

Grease Marks

Rodents have oily fur, and as they travel along walls and baseboards, they can leave dark, greasy smudges. These marks, known as ‘rub marks,’ are a good sign of rodent traffic patterns. Identifying those rub marks will help us focus on areas where we can trap. Rub marks will also tell us where they are travelling to so we can determine the source of the problem or the entry point to the house. Our expert pest control services consider rub marks a key factor in solving your pest problems.

Unexplained Pet Behavior

Unexplained pet behavior, such as unusual amounts of scratching or your pet targeting the same spots consistently, can be indicative of a rodent issue. Our pest control specialists know that pet behavior can clue us into hot spots within the home.
