When rodents of any kind invade a home, they can bring serious health risks. Mice and rats can carry E. coli, Leptospirosis and rat bite fever. Those with compromised immune systems and young children are most vulnerable to these diseases. This is why it is crucial homeowners hire Professional Rodent Control services as soon as they see signs of rodents in their home. The sooner the rodents are removed, the fewer risks to the occupant’s health.
Many homeowners do not realize seeing one mouse or rodent often means there are many more hidden away inside walls and cabinets. Rodents of all types can quickly multiply and lead to an infestation.
Before a pest control company comes out for Professional Rodent Control, it is a good idea for homeowners to prepare their home for these steps:
* Remove all non-canned food and store it in heavy duty sealed containers or the fridge or freezer. These food items need to stay stored away for two weeks following treatment of the home.
* Since rodents can enter holes as small as a 1/4 inch, the homeowner will need to make sure they go around and repair any holes in the baseboards or in cabinets. Sealing these holes will help to prevent rodents from entering the home.
* Cabinets under all sinks should be carefully cleaned out, so there is nothing inside. This will give the pest control company access to place pesticides.
* Homeowners need to clean off the top of their stove, microwave and fridge so these surfaces are free of any items.
* When the pest control company comes out, the homeowner should inform the specialist of the areas where mice or droppings have been spotted so bait stations and traps can be placed in these areas.
Once professional pest control services have been used to remove rodents, homeowners can rest assured their home is safe for their family. After a thorough cleaning, using antibacterial cleaning products, all threats of rodent-borne disease can be eliminated. For more information on rodent removal services, contact AAA Exterminating.
