Pest control of rats and rodents in Marlborough
Pest Control of Rodents
Rodents, such as mice and rats, can carry and spread many diseases that can be harmful to humans. The most dangerous of these is Hantavirus, which can be transmitted through inhalation of aerosolized particles of infected rodent droppings, urine, or saliva. There are four most common rodents in Marlborough, the Norwegian rat, the Black Roof rat and House and Field Mice.
Rodents can be elusive and shy, and difficult to control. You can trust PestSmart to make a thorough inspection of your property, identify where the rodents are gaining entry or nesting, and develop a multi-faceted effective rodent control plan to eradicate your rodent pests.
Mice
- Because of their frequent eating habits, they prefer to build their homes near food sources.
- Mice can jump a foot into the air, allowing them to easily climb up onto kitchen counters or into pantries to access food.
- Mice can spread diseases like Hantavirus and Salmonella, and can actually carry as many as 200 human pathogens
- A house mouse produces between 40 and 100 droppings per day and constantly give off micro-droplets of urine as they travel around their territory
A female house mouse can give birth when they are only two months old, and they are able to have to up to a dozen babies every three weeks. This means she could have as many as 150 offspring in a single year!
PestSmart Mouse Control
We will control your mouse infestation through determining where the mice are gaining access, where their trails are and where they are nesting. We will always control mice in excluded areas (not accessible to your family or pets) and use the latest products for a fast, safe and effective result.
The most Common types of Rats in Marlborough are:
The Black Roof Rat
They live in ceiling spaces and also found under houses and in walls.
The Sewer or Norwegian Rat
They are poor climbers and often found under houses, and occasionally enter the home.
PestSmart Rat Control
We will first determine what rat is present, through getting as much history as possible. Rats leave a number of clues as to what they are, where they are gaining access and likely to be nesting. Our treatments are selected based on the rodents present, and will be used in excluded areas (places your family or pets wont access), and where baits are used, they will be in locked bait stations. Results can be seen within 4 days to 2 weeks depending on infestation.
Treatments can last for many months if the baits are uneaten, however it is best to check the stations every 3 months or sooner if rodent signs are present.
Are the treatments safe for my family and pets?
Definitely, all our products are (EPA) Environmental Protection Authority approved and used to exact specifications every time. All baits are placed in an excluded area, and in locked bait stations. Your family’s safety is our number one priority.
What do I need to do to prepare?
Nothing is required for preparation, however we would like to speak with you to learn as much about the history of the rodent problem as possible.
Rat or Mouse treatment price guide:
