Common Rodent Control Methods

Dealing with a rodent infestation can be one of the most frustrating experiences for any homeowner. Unlike tiny insects, these larger pests can cause serious damage to your home and even pose health risks by spreading diseases. That’s why it’s so important to know the best way to handle them.

When rodents invade, it’s tempting to grab traps or bait from the local hardware store. But while these DIY methods might seem like a quick fix, they don’t always fix the root or full extent of the problem. For a solution you can count on, trust the experts at All-American Pest Control. We’re here to provide effective, and worry-free rodent control that truly works.

Why Do I Have a Rodent Infestation?

Rodents look for food, water, and shelter, especially as the weather gets colder in the fall and winter when these necessities become harder to find outside.

You might think your home is safe from rodents because you don’t see any obvious entry points. But the truth is, it doesn’t take much for them to get in and most homes have weak spots. Rodents are surprisingly resourceful—rats can squeeze through a hole as small as a nickel, and mice can slip through an opening the size of a dime!

Once they’re inside, if they find cozy spots to nest, a steady food supply, and water, they’re not going anywhere anytime soon. Getting rid of them can be a real headache. That’s why we recommend skipping the DIY solutions and going straight to professional rodent control with All-American Pest Control. We’ll help you reclaim your space and keep it rodent-free!

Frequently Asked Questions

What Are The Types of Rodents?

There are many types of rodents. Worldwide there are over 4000 species of rodents. Here in Tennessee, you’re only likely to end up with one of four species in your house. House mice and deer mice are the two types of mice that commonly invade homes. Norway rats and roof rats are the two species of rats that you are most likely to find in your home.

How Do I Get Rid of Rodents Permanently?

Getting rid of rodents for good takes work on your part and on the part of the pest control company you partner with. You must take steps to seal entry points into your house, as well as make your property and inside your home unappealing to rodents. However, you also need on-going rodent prevention to ensure you don’t end up with a rodent problem.

Will Spraying Vinegar Or Tossing Moth Balls Keep Mice Away?

Some people advocate for spraying vinegar or tossing moth balls in areas where you don’t want mice. While this may deter mice because they don’t like the smell, it won’t do anything to get rid of them or stop them from getting into your house. Not only is vinegar harmless to mice, but it will wash away or wear off over time, making any benefit eventually useless. Mothballs give off fumes that can be harmful to our own health, so it’s best to leave rodent exclusion techniques up to the pros.
