Commensal Rodents
Professional Commensal Rodents Control Services
Mice and Rats (Commensal Rodents) are common, highly destructive urban pests, capable of rapidly reproducing and creating severe structural and electrical damage. Both sexes forage for food and water, using constant gnawing and widespread urination as their primary activity. They locate safe harbors by sensing food, warmth, and tight access points in buildings, and they are typically active during night hours. While the rodents themselves rarely attack humans, their droppings, urine, and nesting materials carry serious viral and bacterial diseases (like Salmonella and Hantavirus). Uncontrolled infestations near residential or commercial areas quickly lead to extensive property contamination, health hazards, and a disruptive public health issue that demands professional management.
How We Control Commensal Rodents for You
Targeting the Population: Trapping and Baiting
Our primary methods for immediate control involve Strategic Trapping and Secured Baiting. Strategic Trapping involves placing mechanical traps (snap traps or multi-catch traps) in hidden runways, food sources, and high-activity zones, ensuring rapid and safe elimination of the existing population. Conversely, Secured Baiting involves carefully placing rodenticides in tamper-resistant bait stations outside or in non-food areas, allowing rodents to ingest the poison while protecting non-targets.
Breaking the Cycle: Exclusion and Monitoring
To comprehensively prevent re-establishment and future problems, we utilize Exclusion Techniques and Targeted Monitoring. Exclusion involves sealing all potential entry points (such as gaps around utility lines, damaged vents, and foundation cracks) using rodent-proof materials, making the structure inaccessible. Targeted Monitoring applies visual inspections, tracking dusts, or detection devices to common travel paths to track activity levels and identify emerging populations. This layered approach is a critical part of our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy.
Signs and Symptoms of Commensal Rodents Infestation Problems
Commensal Rodents Infestation Signs
Frequent sightings of live rodents (Mice or Rats) or sudden movement/rustling, typically noticed at night or when checking hidden areas.
Noticing a strong, musky odor of ammonia from concentrated urine, especially in confined spaces like cupboards, walls, or under floorboards.
Locating small, dark, pellet-shaped droppings (fecal matter, sharp-ended for mice, blunt for rats) along runways, under sinks, or inside food storage areas.
Finding gnaw marks on food packaging, plastic pipes, electrical wiring, or wooden structures.
Observing grease marks or rub smears (dark, oily smudges) along baseboards, walls, and narrow paths where rodents commonly travel.
Commensal Rodents Prevention
prevention tips
Seal all visible gaps, holes, and entry points on the exterior, including utility lines, vents, and foundation cracks, using rodent-proof materials (e.g., steel wool, wire mesh).
Ensure all plumbing and roof leaks are immediately fixed and eliminate all sources of standing water or excess moisture, as rodents need water daily.
Keep all human and pet food stored in tightly sealed, rigid containers and clean up food spills, especially pet food, immediately.
Do not leave uneaten pet food or trash uncovered in outdoor or indoor areas, and empty garbage cans frequently.
Reduce clutter (like boxes, old appliances, and stored materials) in basements, garages, and storage areas to eliminate nesting harborages and secure hiding spots.
