Rhode Island Rodent Exterminator

Mouse & Rat Control Services

While thousands of rodents live worldwide in almost every habitat imaginable, five rodent species in our area regularly find their way into our Rhode Island yards and homes.

1. Deer mice
2. Field mice
3. House mice
4. Norway rats
5. Roof rats

Rodents are regular visitors to our properties because they have learned that our yards, garages, sheds, and homes offer them a place to forage for food and often easy access to water. To effectively manage rodents, it's crucial to understand their behaviors and adapt environments to make them less appealing. This includes keeping outdoor areas tidy and removing food and water sources that might attract them.

The Dangers of Rodents: Why You Should Act Now

While each species of rodent is unique, the rodents that are regular visitors to our properties all cause the same kinds of problems: These problems not only pose a threat to your physical property but also to your family's health and happiness. By acting promptly, you can prevent extensive damage and reduce the risk of disease transmission, ensuring a safer home environment. Implementing preventative measures and being aware of potential infestation signs can greatly mitigate these risks.

• Spreading allergens, disease, viruses, and parasites
• Using their sharp front incisors to damage things like wires, cables, drywall, flooring, and furniture
• Triggering fires, short circuits, and water leaks.
• Introducing parasites into yards and homes
• Contaminating food and surfaces with their shed fur, excrement, and urine.

Identifying the Causes of Mice & Rats Presence in Your Property

Rodent problems can arise in any Rhode Island home. Rodents can find a way inside, whether you live next to a field, wooded area, alleyway, or beach. This adaptability makes them difficult to control once they have entered your space. Understanding the specifics of why and how they enter your home is vital to developing a successful prevention strategy. Whether it's through small cracks or open doors, identifying and addressing these access points early can help keep these pests at bay.

Mice & rats have high metabolisms and are constantly searching for sources of food to keep their bellies full. Once they find a food source, they will keep returning to the area. Things in our yards like open trash cans, gardens, bird feeders, and outdoor eating areas will catch the eye of rodents. Regular maintenance and cleanliness of outdoor spaces, along with secure storage of food and waste, can significantly reduce the likelihood of rodent visits.

As rodents keep returning to your yard, these curious critters are likely to find a way into your house. Rodents can find a way into any home any time of the year, but in our area, when the temperature drops in the late fall, rodents like to move inside to take advantage of the warm, safe shelter they provide. Ensuring your home is well-sealed and regularly inspected for potential entry points can act as a significant deterrent. Engaging with a professional pest control service can provide additional, targeted prevention techniques.
