Rodents

Service Description

Rodents are everywhere and serve as a food source to many predatory animals. Mice and rats are very important to the ecosystem and are abundant in supply. They reproduce surprisingly fast. One female rat can have 7 litters and about 84 offspring in one year. This can be an overwhelming task to keep up with. Not only do rodents reproduce fast, they have been transported all over the world by human activity. Rodents thrive near humans because we have everything they need. They carry diseases and viruses that can be harmful to humans and pets. They have their own pests like fleas and mites. They have poor eyesight but an acute sense of smell. Rodents urinate and defecate often, which helps them find there way around and communicate with other rodents. Mice can easily fit into a hole the size of a dime and rats can squeeze into a hole the size of a quarter. They often find opportunistic ways into your home, but can easily chew their way in. They can climb or walk on textured walls (think Spider-Man), and have tightrope balance. Rats can chew through wood, drywall, rubber, hard plastic (like your recycle or garbage bin). They can crawl under your deck, dig under the foundation of your home and into your crawl space. From there they can chew into your home and start a hungry family. If you see, hear, or smell evidence of rodent activity in or around your home call The Ant Sir Pest Solutions today to schedule an appointment to get a rodent program started.
