Rats and Pests poisons serve one purpose – kill animals.
Not exactly!
But yes, the poisons used by pest and rodent controls can cause health concerns for your pet.
Do you know thousands of pets die from rodenticide poisoning every year?
This may come as a shock, but unfortunately, your pet is almost as susceptible to the poisons used by a lot of rodent control companies as rats and mice. That is why it is always wise to ensure the company you hire for rodent control uses chemicals that are not harmful to the people and the pets living in the house.
But is that enough?
So, how to deal with this?
When your house is infiltrated by rats, insects, and roaches, you simply can’t ignore it. You need professional assistance. Fortunately, there are companies similar to us that can help you get rid of rodents without causing any hassle.
To ensure the safety of your health and belongings, experienced rodent control companies ask homeowners to arrange a few things for them. Similarly, before we start working on any project, we always have a word with the homeowners and give them certain safety guidelines to follow. We also help them with any concerns that they may have.
But what if you forgot to mention the exterminators that you have a pet?
That can be scary, right?
Don’t panic! If you hire an experienced and reputable rodent control company, they will not let anything happen to your pets. Anyways, here are a few things that you can do to keep your pets safe from rodent control companies’ practices.
First Contain Your Pets
All pet owners understand that it is very difficult to contain them especially when they are curious. Just like children, when they get the urge to investigate the new smells and sounds in their house, there is no looking back for them.
But this curiosity can gravely affect their health. They can come in contact with the materials that are sprayed with chemicals by the rodent control company. For this reason, it is best to contain your pets during this process. If you have cats or dogs, you can contain them in a kennel or pet carrier. If that is not available, you can lock them in a room where you’ve not scheduled the service like a garage or basement.
While this is not something you need to worry about if you hire a good company. For instance, More often than not we target areas where rodents have infested and where they travel. So, you can just keep your pet away from those places.
Also, we inquire about pets from our customers prior to the scheduled service and then share with them the appropriate protocol to follow.
While it is easier to contain and prepare for pets like cats and dogs, you may require a little more preparation if you have pets like birds, reptiles, or even pet fishes. Experienced companies like us will take appropriate precautions before spraying or carrying out any other activity in the presence of such pets. But it is for the best that you cover up their cages or tanks with a towel or a blanket to prevent your pet from any chemical exposure.
We always suggest our customers make a call to the veterinarian for advice, especially those having birds. They have a sensitive respiratory system and chemicals used in this process can be a matter of health concern for these animals.
In a doubt? Call us, our professionals are always available to help you in every manner possible. If you are worried about whether you need to remove your pet from the property or not, let us know. We’ll curate a treatment plan that suits you. Feel free to call us for any queries.
