Mouse & Rat Control in Waco, TX
Mice and rats move indoors looking for food, water and shelter, and they can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps. Getting rid of them means removing the ones inside and closing the way in.
Request pest controlSigns of rodents
Scratching in walls or the attic at night, droppings in drawers and pantries, gnawed packaging, or greasy rub marks along walls.
Trapping
Traps placed along walls and in attics remove rodents already inside. Professionals know where to place them and check them on schedule.
Exclusion
Sealing gaps around pipes, vents, eaves and garage doors with materials rodents can't chew through is what stops them coming back.
Attics and insulation
Rodents nest in attic insulation and can chew wiring. After a problem, ask whether contaminated insulation should be cleaned or replaced.
Outside the house
Keep pet food and bird seed sealed, trim tree branches away from the roof and store firewood away from the walls.
Health
Don't sweep droppings dry. Wet them with a disinfectant first, wear gloves and ventilate the area.
Follow-up visits
Traps need checking until no more rodents are caught, and exclusion work should be inspected after heavy storms. Ask how long the company will monitor.
Cars and garages
Rodents nest in engine bays and chew wiring. Keep garages tidy and pet food sealed.
Food sources
Fallen fruit, open compost and spilled bird seed draw rodents to a yard. Clean them up regularly.
