• General "cleaning up" to reduce the availability of food and water.

• Tightly sealing trash cans and dumpsters.

• Keeping pest foods and animal feed securely sealed when the animals aren't feeding.

• Reducing or eliminating harborage areas through rubbish removal, landscaping, or structural modification.

 

Exclusion

Next after sanitation comes exclusion. To the extent possible, all holes, cracks, and other openings by which rodents are gaining access to a building should be sealed to prevent them from coming in.

 

Trapping

Trapping also has a place in many rodent control programs, particularly in areas where rodenticides cannot be used, or where the rodent population is quite high and quick reduction is desired. The placement of traps is critical and requires a thorough knowledge of rodent biology and behavior. You can trust the professionals at Economy Pest Control to properly set and monitor traps to achieve complete rodent control.

 

Poisoning

Finally, the careful and judicious use of rodenticides is often necessary to control the remaining rodent population and to protect the property against re-infestation. In areas prone to re-infestation, it is often necessary to secure tamper-resistant bait stations to the exterior of the building, where rodents will come across the bait and consume it before entering inside.

Remember: Rodents are a serious problem with serious potential consequences. Don't take chances. In the Greater Boston area, call the professional exterminators at Economy Pest Control.
