Our Rodent Control Process
Eliminating rodents and keeping them out requires more than setting a trap. We combine thorough inspections, customized removal plans, and proven exclusion techniques into a process designed for long-term pest management.
Consultation
We start with a thorough inspection of the structure and property to identify rodent activity, determine the species present, and assess how severe the infestation is. Our team checks the areas rodents favor most: behind and under appliances, basements, attics, dumpsters, and food storage areas. We’ll also identify how they’re getting in and what conditions are drawing them. From there, we provide a detailed quote that covers all service recommendations, including any clean-out or exclusion work your property needs.
Rodent Removal & Clean-Out
Once we understand the full scope of the problem, we develop and implement a customized plan agreed upon with you. Mouse control methods and trap placements differ from those used for rats, so identifying the species present shapes every decision we make. Depending on the situation, this phase may include trapping, removal of contaminated materials, and population reduction using exclusion and monitoring tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What type of rats and mice commonly infest homes and businesses in our area?
In Yakima and Kittitas counties and throughout Central Washington, the roof rat, white-footed mouse, and deer mouse are the most common types of rodents. Visit our rodent pest identification to learn more.
-
How do I tell the difference between mice and rats?
From head to tail mice are smaller than rats by several inches. Mice also have smaller droppings (6 mm vs 12 mm) and gnaw marks (2 mm vs 4 mm) than rats. Mice have larger ears and pointy or triangular noises whereas rats have small ears and blunt noses. Both have long tails but mice have thin, hairy tails. Rats on the other hand have thick, scaly tails devoid of hair.
-
Can I get sick from rodents?
Yes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), rodents have the potential to directly transmit several diseases including Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, Leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, and Salmonellosis. They also introduce ticks, mites, and fleas onto properties. While Washington has very few cases of Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases, the link between rodents and ticks should be noted.
-
I have hantavirus, did rats give that to me?
In our region, rats are not normally the carriers of hantavirus. Unfortunately, white-foot and deer mice are and we have those in abundance.
-
I have rodents in my house, how much is it going to cost?
The cost of rodent control depends on several factors including the type of rodent, the severity of the infestation, the size of the structure, and if exclusion services are necessary.
