How Do We Know of a Rodent Infestation?
Rodents are masters of concealing themselves, and hence they can occupy your house without you having any idea. But there are a few indications that will make you realize if rodents have taken your house as their dwelling or not:
Droppings: The first indication of rodent infestation is droppings. You would usually see them wherever rodents roam around the most, like near food, along walls, or corners.
Gnaw Marks: Rodents need to chew something else lest their teeth grow too much. Gnaw marks would be found on packages, woodwork, wire, or on the furniture.
Sounds: Rodents are nocturnal, and thus you would hear scratching, squeaking, and scurrying noises during night, in most cases around walls, ceiling, or in the attic area.
Nests: Rodents construct nests from shredded paper, cloth, or other soft fibers. Discovery of nesting material in attics, basements, or concealed places can be a sign of rodents.
Odors: Strong, musky smell is usually a sign of rodents. Their feces and urine create the smell, which lasts and gets stronger as the infestation increases.
If you observe any of these signs, it is important to act quickly to avoid further damage and possible health risks.
Rodent Infestation Solutions: Effective Solutions
Ows Repair is effective in rodent control. Our professionals will evaluate your case and employ a mix of solutions to effectively eliminate the rodents and keep them from returning. This is how we avoid rodent infestations:
Inspection and Assessment: The first step is a thorough inspection of your home to identify the extent of the rodent problem and locate their entry points. We check your attic, basement, crawl spaces, and the exterior of your home to find any possible entryways, nesting sites, or signs of activity.
Rodent Traps and Baits: We then set baits and traps in the zones where rodents are most active strategically. We position traps where they can effectively capture rodents without putting your family and pets at risk. We choose baits with caution to attract rodents and eliminate them without contaminating food and the environment.
Sealing the Entry Points: Rodents can fit into extremely small holes and crevices and thus sealing these entry points is also extremely important in an attempt to prevent future infestation. Our experts will look around your home for holes in walls, openings under windows and doors, vent or pipe openings, and seal them accordingly.
Exclusion and Prevention: To keep rodents from coming back, we offer long-term solutions such as mesh screening vents, sealing cracks in basements, and showing you how to make your house uninviting to insects. Sanitation in maintaining cleanliness in your house and making your house uninviting to rodents is also the key to keeping your house free from infestation in the future, and we will show you the tips and tricks to a clean house.
Regular Checking: After our first treatment, we will regularly check and pay you home visits to ensure that your home remains rodent-free. If there is any new rodent infestation, we will treat them as well.
