The Rodent Control Services Process

The Ikill rodent control process is extensive. It is more than just setting up a couple of rodent bait stations and calling it a day. We will walk you through the significant parts of the process.

Rodent Control Consultation

The first step in our process is always to do a consultation. We want to make sure we understand your specific needs and what is going on in your home or business. We will also take the time to inspect the area for any signs of rodents, such as droppings, nests, or property damage.

Inspection

Our experts perform a thorough inspection of rodents. First, they will find all the rodent entry points along the exterior walls where rats or mice can access your property and search out any rodent activity. Once we've identified these rodent entry points, we will create a customized action plan for your specific situation.

Rodent Management Plan 

We will then create our plan for your property. This plan will include rodent bait stations, traps, and exclusion measures and ensure there are no new entry points.

Implementation

In the implementation phase, we will put our plan into action and begin to get rid of the rats or mice in your home or business.

Follow-up

Once the rodent problem has been eliminated, we will do a follow-up to ensure the job is done right and ensure no more rodents are present.

Rodent Control Measures

This includes the use of rodent bait stations, traps, and exclusion measures.

Baiting for Rodents

Bait stations are one of the most common methods for controlling rats or mice. They are small, plastic boxes filled with a rodenticide, a poison that kills rodents. The bait stations are designed to be tamper-resistant and protect the poison from exposure to other animals and children.

Trapping Rodents

Different types of traps can be effective rodent control measures, including snap traps and live rat traps. We will determine which traps are best for your property and place traps accordingly. For example, some places might be in the attic or crawl space or anywhere that we decide the safest and most effective location.

Rodent Exclusion Service

We will also help create a plan for exclusion. In the rodent exclusion service, we seal off all the rodent entry points where rodents may gain entry to your home or business and make it as hard as possible for them to enter. This rodent proofing will help prevent any future rodent infestation to keep you rodent free.

-Keep your property clean and free of clutter. This will make it difficult for rats to find a place to hide.

-Make sure all food is stored correctly and sealed. Do not leave food out in the open where rodents can easily access it.

Why Professional Treatment Is A Necessity For Rodents

Problems with rats in Pasadena? We're here to help.

Professional treatment is necessary for rodent infestations for several reasons. First, hundreds of small rodents can enter a home within months, making them incredibly prolific. Rodent populations can grow exponentially. They breed quickly and can contaminate your food, destroy your property, and create hazardous environments that may cause disease to develop.

Rats pose a significant health risk, potentially carrying dozens of pathogens. In addition, these rodents are capable of transmitting diseases to both humans and pets, making professional treatment a necessity.

What is the difference between mice and rats?

House Mice are much smaller than rats, typically measuring around 6-8 inches long, including the tail. They have pointed noses and large ears and are usually a light brown or gray. Rats are much larger, measuring around 10-12 inches long or larger. They have blunt noses and small ears and are usually dark brown or black. In addition, rats are more aggressive than mice and can cause significantly more damage. Therefore, if you have a problem with rodents, it is most likely rats, and professional treatment is necessary for effective removal.

Where do rats and mice nest?

Rodents generally make nests out of whatever they can find nearby. They are intelligent creatures that will often collect items to act as bedding for their nests, using paper products, cloth, insulation, and other soft materials. They may even create their own "beds" out of wood or cardboard.

They make their nests wherever they can find that is safe and comfortable. This typically becomes places in your home, such as attics, walls, and basements.

If you see any of these signs, give Ikill Pest Control a call right away so we can help get rid of the rats in your Pasadena home or business.
