Professional Rodent Control Methods: What You Need to Know

Rodent infestations can be a nuisance and a health hazard. While there are many do-it-yourself methods for controlling rodents, sometimes calling in the professionals at Truly Nolen is needed to eradicate the problem completely. In this article, we will discuss what you can expect from Truly Nolen of Jacksonville’s Rodent Control Service.

  • Inspection

The first step in professional rodent control is to conduct a thorough inspection of the property. Our pest control experts will look for signs of rodent activity, such as droppings, gnaw marks, and nests. They will also identify entry points where rodents are gaining access to the property. Once the inspection is complete, your pest control expert will develop a customized plan to control the infestation.

  • Traps

Traps are a common method used in professional rodent control. There are several types of traps available, including snap traps, glue traps, and live traps. The type of trap used will depend on the severity of the infestation and the type of rodent present. Pest control experts will strategically place traps in areas where rodents are known to frequent.

  • Baits

Baits are another tool used in professional rodent control. There are several types of baits available, including poison baits and non-toxic baits. Poison baits are typically used for severe infestations, while non-toxic baits are used for preventative measures. Pest control experts will strategically place baits in conjunction with traps to help increase the appeal to the target rodent.

  • Exclusion

Exclusion is a method used to prevent rodents from gaining access to a property. Pest control experts will identify entry points where rodents are gaining access to the property and seal them up. This may include sealing gaps and cracks in the foundation, installing door sweeps, and repairing damaged screens.

  • Sanitation

Sanitation is the final but most important aspect of professional rodent control. Pest control experts will sanitize the area where rodents were lingering and advise property owners on how to keep their property clean and free of food sources that attract rodents. This may include storing food in sealed containers, cleaning up spills and crumbs, and taking out the trash regularly.

In conclusion, professional rodent control methods are effective in eradicating rodent infestations. Pest control experts use a combination of inspection, traps, baits, exclusion, and sanitation to control the infestation and prevent future infestations. Remember, rodents can carry diseases that can be harmful to humans, so it's essential to take action to control the infestation as soon as possible. If you have a rodent infestation, it's important to contact the pest control experts at Truly Nolen to develop a customized plan to control the problem.
