Identifying a Rodent Infestation in Your Home

You may only see a mouse or rat in your home if your infestation is severe. There are other signs that will indicate a rodent infestation.

The signs of a rodent infestation are:

• Rodent droppings around your house in locations such as, in drawers or cupboards, around food packages, and under the sink.

• Signs of chewing and teeth marks on food packaging.

• Holes chewed through walls or floors.

• Stale odors that are coming from secluded areas.

• Finding piles of nesting material, such as shredded paper, fabric, plants, and more.

Health Risks: Diseases Spread by Rodents

One of the most terrible attributes of rodents is that they are not only destructive and unsanitary, but they carry a wide variety of horrible diseases, some of which are even fatal to humans.

Some of the dangerous illnesses caused by rats and mice include:

• Viral hemorrhagic fever
• Q fever
• Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome
• Cryptosporidiosis
• Coxiella burnetii
• Rat bite fever
• Toxoplasmosis
• Weil’s disease
• Lymphocytic choriomeningitis
• Bubonic plague
• Rickettsialpox
• Murine typhus
• Leptospirosis

It is critical to get a rodent infestation under control before it gets too big. In order to determine if there is a growing invasion of rats, look carefully to find signs of tooth marks on food containers or evidence that rats are building a nest. Any suspicious brown pellets are a sure sign that you have a rodent problem on your hands.

Guaranteed Rodent Extermination in Ventura

Before we can exterminate all the rodents from your property, our experienced professionals will start with a thorough inspection of your home. Rats and mice are extremely good at hiding out, so it is critical to find the hotspots to target with our traps.

Nest materials, marks of clawing and gnawing, and small brown droppings are the first clues that rodents are lurking nearby. After our examination, we will determine the most opportune locations of where to set traps as well as glue boards, self-resetting live traps, and bait stations.

Preventative Measures Against Rodent Infestations

You can discourage rodents from infesting your home by:

• Cleaning up and not leaving out sources of food and water in and near your home.

• Sealing holes in the home to keep rodents from getting in. You can do this by plugging any small holes with steel wool, or any patching holes you find in the walls.

• Searching for and removing potential areas where rodents would nest, including piles of leaves and mulch.

• Keeping your kitchen garbage in secure, sealed containers.
