Did You Hire A Pest Control Company With No Success?
We are hearing & seeing this so often, pest control companies are being outsmarted by these rodents, particularly Rats. It’s crucial to seek a company that is knowledgeable, that has the skillset, equipment, and the desire to stop them once & for all. Simply Setting traps and closing a few entry points and getting on their monthly maintenance program is not enough anymore, and if you choose to go that route, hold them fully accountable.
Stopping a rodent infestation goes way beyond trapping, it’s imperative to locate their migration pathways. Once they’re on your property, they can and begin to figure out their specific safe runways throughout your Home. Once they’re in, they have no care for you, your property, all they care about is providing a safe nesting ground to birth their pups and colonize.
In addition, They leave their pheromones providing signals to other colonies of new rats, that it’s a safe place, come on in. So it’s super important to find their paths, disrupt and completely sanitize the impacted areas & remove all odors.
