Mice and rats are a constant issue, especially if you own a restaurant. But even if you have just a house, it’s important to protect your home from these small rodents. Mice and rats can find their way in and feed upon our food and contaminate our eating places. They can spread disease and just bring down the entire sanitation of your living space or business.
Because of this, it’s important to contact a Broken Arrow Pest Control company to keep rodents away from you and your loved ones.
Mice are very agile. They can actually jump very high and swim quite effectively. They climb with the best of them and they can sense danger all around them. Finding themselves at the bottom of the food chain, these rodents survive by reproducing extremely quickly.
Because of this, if they get in your house, you can have a very large infestation very quickly, especially if there are no natural predators in your home, and most people just don’t have that.
In order to keep them out, you’ve got to see where they’re getting in. Exclusion is something that a good Broken Arrow Pest Control company can help with and something we excel at.
In addition, there are multiple ways to control these rodents. Some people will try to use traps against them. While traps are not completely ineffective, they just don’t kill them fast enough. A typical snap trap is going to just kill them one at a time. But with these rodents multiplying so quickly, it’s going to take a lot of traps to do that.
That’s why we find the best method is to use rodenticides. These poisons are specifically formulated to not only kill the adult mice, but also for them to spread it to their young. Secondary poisoning can be a problem, but with a good rodenticide that works effectively and quickly, the amount of poison left in the carcass can be very small.
If you go to your local hardware store and you get the rodenticides that are available there, they often take multiple feedings. In many cases, once a rodent dies it will have a massive amount of poison still left in the carcass and this can lead to secondary poisoning. A pet or other wild animal can get a hold of that carcass, feed on it, and get sick from the poison inside it.
Because of this, it’s very important that you use the correct rodenticides, which means the best bet is to call a good Broken Arrow Pest Control company to get rid of these kinds of infestations.
