Here's a detailed breakdown of what you can expect when you choose Ant & Rodent Pest Control Meridian.

Inspection and Assessment

The first step in our rodent control process is a comprehensive inspection of your property. We'll look for:

• Signs of rodent activity, such as droppings, gnaw marks, and nesting materials.
• Potential entry points, including cracks in foundations, gaps around pipes, and openings in attics and crawl spaces.
• Factors that may be attracting rodents, such as food sources and harborage areas.

Identifying Rodent Species

Different rodent species require different control strategies. We'll identify the specific type of rodent infesting your property to tailor our approach accordingly. Common rodents in Boise include:

• House Mice (Mus musculus)
• Deer Mice (Peromyscus maniculatus)
• Roof Rats (Rattus rattus)

Treatment and Elimination

Once we've assessed the extent of the infestation and identified the rodent species, we'll develop a customized treatment plan. Our treatment options include:

Trapping

Trapping is another effective method for removing rodents from your property. We use a variety of traps, including snap traps, glue traps, and live traps, depending on the situation. Traps are strategically placed in areas where rodents are active, such as along walls, under appliances, and in attics and crawl spaces. Our humane trapping methods are very environmentally friendly.

Exclusion

Exclusion is the process of sealing off entry points to prevent rodents from entering your property. This is a critical step in preventing future infestations. We use a variety of materials, such as caulk, steel wool, and wire mesh, to seal cracks, gaps, and other openings.

Sanitation Recommendations

Proper sanitation is essential for preventing rodent infestations. We'll provide you with recommendations for cleaning up food debris, storing food properly, and eliminating harborage areas around your property. This will help it be very effective and make sure that they cannot come back.

Common Problems and Solutions Related to Rodent Infestations in Boise

Rodent Droppings Found in the Kitchen

Finding rodent droppings in your kitchen is a clear sign of infestation. Rodent droppings can carry harmful bacteria and pathogens, posing a health risk to your family. Our rodent control services include thorough cleaning and sanitation of affected areas, along with targeted treatments to eliminate the source of the problem.

Gnawed Electrical Wires

Rodents often gnaw on electrical wires, which can create a fire hazard. Exposed wires are a big threat that can cause huge catastrophes. Our technicians can assess the damage and recommend solutions, such as repairing or replacing damaged wires, in addition to implementing rodent control measures to prevent further damage.

Scratching Noises in the Walls

Hearing scratching noises in your walls, especially at night, is a strong indicator of rodent activity. These noises are usually the sounds of rodents scurrying around and nesting inside your walls. Our team can locate the source of the noise and eliminate the rodents, as well as seal off any entry points to prevent them from returning.

Damage to Food Packaging

Rodents are attracted to food sources and will often chew through packaging to access it. This can contaminate your food and create a mess. Secure food storage is so important, and rodents love to get into any sources of food. Our rodent control services include recommendations for proper food storage and sanitation, as well as targeted treatments to eliminate rodents from your pantry or food storage areas.

Nesting Materials in the Attic or Basement

Rodents often build nests in attics and basements, using materials such as paper, fabric, and insulation. Finding nesting materials is a sure sign of rodent activity. Removing that nesting material is the first step to recovery from a rodent infestation. Our team can remove the nesting materials and implement rodent control measures to eliminate the infestation and prevent future nesting.

Unexplained Pet Excitement

If your pets are suddenly more alert and excited, especially near walls or in certain areas of your home, it could indicate the presence of rodents. Pets have a keen sense of smell and hearing and can often detect rodents before humans do. Our team can inspect your property for signs of rodent activity and implement targeted treatments to eliminate the infestation.

Grease Marks Along Walls

Rodents tend to travel along the same routes, leaving behind grease marks along walls and baseboards. These grease marks are a sign of a well-established rodent population. Even just one rodent can cause a grease mark, because of their high production of oils and fats in their hair. Our technicians can identify these travel routes and implement targeted treatments to eliminate the rodents.

Foul Odors

A foul, musky odor in your home can be a sign of a rodent infestation. This odor is often caused by rodent urine and feces. Cleaning your home with a good air freshener will not solve the problem, and likely only masks the smells. Our rodent control services include cleaning and disinfecting affected areas to eliminate odors and prevent the spread of disease.

Garden Damage

Rodents can cause significant damage to gardens by eating fruits, vegetables, and plants. This can be frustrating for homeowners who enjoy gardening. Protecting your garden from rodents is a great way to maintain your plants and prevent infestations. Our team can implement rodent control measures to protect your garden and prevent further damage.

Increased Allergies

Rodent droppings and urine can trigger allergies and asthma symptoms in some people. If you notice an increase in allergy symptoms, it could be a sign of a rodent infestation. Rodent infestations can be extremely harmful to anyone with asthma or serious allergies. Our rodent control services include cleaning and disinfecting affected areas to eliminate allergens and improve indoor air quality.

Holes in Drywall

Rodents will sometimes chew holes in drywall to access food, water, or nesting materials. These holes are a sign of a persistent rodent problem. Holes in drywall also create opportunities for other pests to infiltrate the home. Our technicians can repair the holes and implement rodent control measures to eliminate the infestation and prevent further damage.

Damaged Insulation

Rodents often use insulation as nesting material, tearing it apart and scattering it throughout your attic or walls. Damaged insulation can reduce your home's energy efficiency and increase your heating and cooling costs. Damaged insulation can also start to cause structural damages to your foundation. Our team can remove and replace the damaged insulation and implement rodent control measures to eliminate the infestation and prevent future damage.

Bird Seed Eaten

Rodents are attracted to bird feeders and will often eat the bird seed that falls to the ground. This can create a food source that encourages rodent populations to grow. If you find a lot of bird seed spread around your backyard, remove the bird feeders! Our rodent control services include recommendations for managing bird feeders and removing food sources that attract rodents.

Pet Food Eaten

Like bird seed, rodents are drawn to pet food that is left outside or stored improperly. This can create a food source that encourages rodent populations to grow. Make sure to secure your pet food to prevent rodents from infiltrating the home. Our team can implement rodent control measures to eliminate the infestation and prevent future damage.

Evidence of Chewing on Furniture

Rodents will sometimes gnaw on furniture to sharpen their teeth or to access nesting materials. This can damage your furniture and create an unsightly mess. If any furniture is damaged or chewed on, remove that furniture from the home. Our technicians can assess the damage and recommend solutions, as well as implement rodent control measures to prevent further damage.

Regardless of the signs you find, or the problems you are having. We'll be sure to provide great service! Here are some more considerations to make when dealing with a rodent or ant issue.
