Eaton Rapids Rodent Control

Keeping Your Home Safe & Rodent-Free

When you think of the word “rodent,” you probably think of a mouse or a rat. However, the term “rodent” actually refers to a large group of mammals that includes over 2,000 species. Rodents are characterized by their continuously growing incisors, which they use to gnaw on objects and to defend themselves. While some rodents are kept as pets, many are considered pests because they can cause significant damage to homes and spread diseases.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation

Because rodents are nocturnal and are often very small, they can be difficult to detect. However, there are several signs that can indicate that you have a rodent problem.

Some of the most common signs of a rodent infestation include:

• Droppings: Rodents leave behind small, dark droppings that are typically found in areas where they are active, such as in cupboards, along baseboards, and in pantries.
• Gnaw marks: Rodents have to constantly gnaw on objects to keep their teeth from growing too long. As a result, they often leave behind gnaw marks on furniture, walls, and other objects.
• Scratching noises: Rodents are often very active at night and can be heard scratching and scurrying around in walls, attics, and other areas of the home.
• Nests: Rodents build nests out of shredded paper, fabric, and other materials. Nests are often found in dark, secluded areas, such as in attics, basements, and behind appliances.
• Grease marks: Rodents have oily fur that can leave behind grease marks on walls, baseboards, and other surfaces.
• Unusual pet behavior: If you have a pet that is constantly scratching or sniffing around a certain area, it could be a sign that there are rodents present.
• Food containers with holes: Rodents will often chew through food containers to get to the contents inside.

If you notice any of these signs, it is important to contact a professional rodent control company as soon as possible. Rodents can cause significant damage to your home and can spread diseases to you and your family. At Boogeyman Wildlife Control, we offer fast, reliable rodent control services in Lansing and the surrounding areas. We will work with you to identify the source of the infestation and will develop a customized solution that meets your unique needs.

How to Prevent a Rodent Infestation

While it is not always possible to prevent a rodent infestation, there are several steps you can take to reduce your risk.

Some of the most effective ways to prevent a rodent infestation include:

• Sealing cracks and holes: Rodents can squeeze through very small openings, so it is important to seal any cracks or holes in your home’s foundation, walls, and roof.
• Keeping your home clean: Rodents are attracted to food and garbage, so it is important to keep your home clean and free of clutter. Be sure to store food in airtight containers and to take out the trash on a regular basis.
• Trimming trees and shrubs: Rodents can use trees and shrubs to gain access to your home, so it is important to keep them trimmed and away from your home’s exterior.
• Storing firewood away from your home: Rodents often build nests in firewood, so it is important to store it at least 20 feet away from your home’s exterior.
• Repairing leaky pipes and faucets: Rodents need water to survive, so it is important to repair any leaky pipes or faucets in your home.
• Installing door sweeps: Rodents can squeeze through very small openings, so it is important to install door sweeps on all exterior doors.
