Rodent Control by Terminix

Are Rodents Infesting Your Home?
Roof rats, Norway rats, and house mice are common pests across all states. While they may look similar at first glance, mice are much smaller, with a smoother coat and a long, thin tail. Rats can grow to up to one pound and have a rough coat with a thick, scaly tail. They are both capable of infesting homes in their search for food, water, and shelter.
Rats are prolific breeders reaching reproductive age between three and four months and can give birth to up to 10 pups every three weeks. Mice can give birth to up to 60 pups in a single year.
Pathogens found in rat and mouse feces and urine can cause severe illness and disease in humans.
An adult mouse can squeeze through an opening as small as a dime. Some rats can get through an opening the size of a quarter.
Signs of a rat or mouse infestation include droppings, scratching sounds in the walls and ceiling, and gnaw marks in baseboards, floors, and food containers.

What treatment methods does Terminix use to control rodents?
Rodent control is a major issue for many homeowners. Rats and mice can spread pathogens that cause diseases, contaminate food and cause structural damage. Rodents are also accomplished chewers, known for gnawing their way through barriers with their powerful front teeth. In fact, the word rodent originates from the French word, rodere, which means “to gnaw."
Terminix offers integrated pest solutions that combine a variety of methods, tailored to your unique infestation problem. Rodent control consists of prevention methods, as well as trapping methods. Depending on your situation, Terminix personalized rodent control plans may include:
Sealing holes inside and outside your home to prevent entry
Rodent traps strategically placed to control the rodent population
Recommendations for blocking food sources that make your home attractive to rodents
Tamper-resistant bait stations and rodenticides, in some instances
