Rodent control (Rats & Mice) is an unfortunate necessity due to the rodents ability to enter structures, breeding rapidly, and spreading disease while causing damage. The most cost efficient way to manage rodent populations and minimize the risk of having a rat or mouse infestation is through the use of our Rodent Control services. While trapping the rodents is necessary and exceptionally effective if they have already entered and infested a building, our Rodent Control services allow us to maintain our bait stations every three months taking the steps to ensure that the rodents have access to desirable bait which will then prevent them from taking up residence inside the building.
