Rodents do not need a lot of space to get into your structure and make it THEIR home! Not only that, but they can get in by climbing straight up the side of it! Crazy I know, I didn't believe it until I saw it with my own two eyes! Actually seeing it gave me the heebee geebee's, the rat was HUGE! Needless to say he ended up in my body count at that location; our reunion was not pleasant for me and I am sure the rat would say the same! Nonetheless, we have some pictures to help you with these critters and things to do with your structure to deter the little buggers.

 

 

 

 

Rats and mice cannot see well, they run along the perimeter of rooms and such to use their whiskers in finding their way around. While doing this, they leave behind urine, feces, and rub marks (nasty dirty looking streaks of hair oil and dirt) and YUCK!  All of those are also used by other rodents as a means of communicating to each other. They are essentially leaving a "popcorn" trail straight to their own little party which is conveniently located in your structure.

 

The fun these little guys have once they set up shop in a structure can be VERY expensive, leaving you with the tab. The teeth on these things can gnaw through concrete and to keep them from over growing in their mouth, they chew ALL the time. What do they like to chew you ask? EVERYTHING! Your wires, the internet hook up, your plumbing, walls, and whatever else they feel like nibbling on. The reason this happens is because their teeth grow at a rapid rate each year and in order to keep their teeth from becoming to long, they do all this chewing.

 

BUT have no fear, A1 Home Pest Control, Inc (a.k.a. party poopers) has several different treatment options for them so you can live party free, er, I mean rodent free.

 

A1 Home Pest Control starts by excluding any entry points that the rodents may be getting into, then we trap-out any that get locked inside from the exclusion on the exterior. We then go over what else can or needs to be done to keep the party from coming back to your structure.
