Rodent and Animal Control
Damage:
Rodents consume and contaminate
food. They also gnaw on electrical wires and wooden structures and tear insulation in walls and ceilings for nesting. Rodents
can also transmit disease to humans, pets, and livestock. They have been found to transmit typhus, leptospirosis, trichinosis,
and salmonellosis.
Detection and Treatment:
The presence of mice and rats is usually detected by the
damage they cause to food and structures, by their droppings, and by their nests. Our rodent control program has four important
steps:
- Thoroughly inspecting to identify
the species, where they’re nesting, and what factors are attracting them.
- Creating effective sanitation so that rodents are denied both food and hiding places.
- Eliminating all potential entry points.
- Reducing the population by applying poison, bait, and traps.
