Detailed Rodent Control Services in Sarasota

Our rodent control service is a multi-faceted approach designed to eliminate existing infestations and prevent future problems. We focus on identifying the root cause of the infestation, sealing entry points, and implementing effective treatment strategies.

Inspection and Assessment

Our service begins with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the type of rodent, the extent of the infestation, and potential entry points. This allows us to create a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. We'll check common entry points such as cracks in the foundation, gaps around pipes, and openings around windows and doors.

Rodent Identification

Different types of rodents require different treatment methods. We'll identify whether you're dealing with mice, rats, or other rodents to ensure the most effective approach.

Entry Point Identification

Finding and sealing entry points is crucial for preventing future infestations. We'll identify and seal any openings that rodents are using to enter your property.

Treatment and Removal

We use a combination of trapping, baiting, and exclusion techniques to effectively eliminate rodents from your property. Our treatments are safe for your family and pets while remaining highly effective against rodents.

Trapping

We use a variety of traps to capture rodents, including snap traps, live traps, and glue boards. Our technicians will strategically place traps in areas where rodent activity has been detected.

Baiting

We use rodenticides to eliminate rodents. We strategically place bait stations to ensure it is only available to rodents. Our baiting programs are designed to be effective while minimizing the risk to non-target animals.

Prevention and Exclusion

Preventing future infestations is just as important as eliminating existing ones. We'll provide recommendations for preventing future rodent problems, such as sealing entry points, removing food sources, and maintaining a clean environment.

Sealing Entry Points

We'll seal any cracks, gaps, or openings that rodents could use to enter your property. This may include caulking, weather stripping, or installing screens over vents.

Removing Food Sources

Rodents are attracted to food sources, so it's important to remove any potential food sources from your property. This includes storing food in airtight containers, cleaning up spills and crumbs, and properly disposing of garbage. Consider our residential pest control offerings for complete peace of mind.

Common Problems Indicating the Need for Rodent Control

Recognizing the signs of a rodent infestation early can save you time, money, and potential health risks. Here are some common problems that indicate you need professional rodent control services:

Droppings

Finding rodent droppings is a clear sign of an infestation. Rodent droppings are small, dark pellets that are typically found in areas where rodents travel, such as along walls, in cabinets, and near food sources. Ignoring this sign can lead to a rapidly growing infestation.

Gnawing and Chewing

Rodents have a constant need to gnaw and chew to keep their teeth sharp. They may gnaw on electrical wires, wooden structures, and food packaging. This can cause significant damage to your property and create a fire hazard. Our commercial pest control offerings can protect your business, too.

Nesting Materials

Rodents build nests using materials such as paper, fabric, and insulation. Finding nests or shredded materials is a sign of an active rodent infestation. Nests are often found in hidden areas, such as attics, basements, and wall voids.

Unusual Noises

Hearing scratching, scurrying, or squeaking noises, especially at night, can indicate the presence of rodents in your walls or attic. These noises are often caused by rodents moving around and searching for food and water. If you're hearing these noises, don't delay in contacting our team.

Foul Odors

A musty or ammonia-like odor can indicate a rodent infestation. This odor is often caused by rodent urine and droppings, which can accumulate over time and create an unpleasant smell. This can also be a sign of other pests that we can address. Consider our cockroach control services if the smell persists beyond a typical rodent infestation.

Grease Marks

Rodents often leave grease marks along walls and baseboards as they travel through your property. These marks are caused by the oils in their fur rubbing against surfaces. This is particularly common along frequently used pathways. This is especially true with large infestations that aren't being addressed. If you've noticed these signs, don't delay in contacting Sarasota Pest Pros for immediate assistance.

Understanding Rodent Behavior

To effectively control rodents, it's important to understand their behavior. Rodents are nocturnal animals, meaning they are most active at night. They are also opportunistic feeders, meaning they will eat just about anything. They have families, too and may get agitated if they feel their nests are being threatened.

Feeding Habits

Rodents have a constant need to feed, consuming about 15-20% of their body weight each day. They are particularly fond of grains, seeds, and nuts, but they will also eat fruits, vegetables, and meat. They also seek out water sources, as they need to drink regularly to survive.

Nesting Habits

Rodents build nests in hidden, sheltered areas. They use materials such as paper, fabric, and insulation to create their nests. Common nesting sites include attics, basements, wall voids, and under appliances.

Reproduction Habits

Rodents can reproduce very quickly. Mice can have up to 10 litters per year, with each litter containing 5-6 pups. Rats can have up to 6 litters per year, with each litter containing 8-10 pups. This rapid reproduction rate allows rodent populations to grow exponentially if left unchecked. We can help you take care of the rodents before they settle down and multiply.

Movement Ppatterns

Rodents typically follow the same paths when traveling through your property. They tend to stay close to walls and other vertical surfaces, which provides them with protection from predators. This behavior allows us to strategically place traps and bait stations in areas where rodents are most likely to travel.

Health Risks Associated with Rodents

Rodents can transmit a variety of diseases to humans. These diseases can be spread through rodent bites, contact with rodent droppings or urine, or through contaminated food or water. Here are a few examples of diseases that rodents can carry:

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS)

HPS is a severe respiratory illness that can be fatal. It is spread through contact with rodent droppings, urine, or saliva. Symptoms of HPS include fever, muscle aches, and shortness of breath. It's important that you never delay rodent control when thinking of your long-term health.

Leptospirosis

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that is spread through contact with rodent urine. Symptoms of leptospirosis include fever, headache, muscle aches, and jaundice. Severe cases can lead to kidney damage, liver failure, and meningitis.

Salmonellosis

Salmonellosis is a bacterial infection that is spread through contaminated food or water. Rodents can contaminate food and water with their droppings and urine. Symptoms of salmonellosis include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps. Keep food stored in airtight containers to prevent contamination by salmonella.

Rat-Bite Fever

Rat-bite fever is a bacterial infection that is spread through rodent bites. Symptoms of rat-bite fever include fever, headache, muscle aches, and a rash. We may also recommend Sarasota Pest Pros to come by every other month depending on the severity of your infestation.

The Importance of Professional Rodent Control

If you're considering a move to Bradenton, Venice, North Port, Ellenton, or Palmetto, keep factors like these in mind.
