FAQ

  • Rodent

    • Are treatments safe for my children and pets?

      Yes, mouse, rat, and rodent control services are safe for children and pets. All trap placements are in placed in areas inaccessible to children and pets such as basement rafters, attics, and crawlspaces. They are also marked and labeled so that locations are apparent to both the homeowner and our technicians. 

      Any rodenticides used are protected with childproof and tamper resistant equipment.

    • How do you determine where mice are getting in the home?

      To find rodent entryways into the home we use two methods.

      The first is done by thoroughly inspecting the exterior of the structure using mirrors, cameras, and ultraviolets to locate evidence of historic activity or potential entry into the structure. Once we have inspected and sealed around the full exterior of the structure, we use trap placements on the inside of the home to confirm that those entry points are correct. By performing a high volume trapping we can verify exactly where activity is present and where they are entering. 

    • How do you seal up the home?

      The sealing, or exclusion, technique depends greatly on the situation. Our priority is always to achieve effective rodent proofing without affecting the cosmetics of the home. 

      We use rodent resistant polymers, silicones, mesh, screening, lathe, and a variety of other methods depending on the situation and type of rodent.

    • What is the difference between your service and other companies?

      Most other companies will rely exclusively on using rodenticides or poisons to clear out activity in home. This leads to odor issues and will not necessarily provide any additional information about the activity inside the structure. Our technique helps track where activity is present and confirm that entry has been properly sealed. 

      Competitors frequently charge separately for exclusion work around the home. We believe without sealing the outside of the structure there will never be true resolution to the issue. Treatment and exclusion must be performed at the same time to gain proper resolution.
