Usually, when you think of pests around the house, you probably think of ants, roaches, termites, and other insects. But what about when pests are the four-legged, scurrying kind? Rodents may not take over your home in the numbers that insect do, but they can pose a health hazard as well as being a little scary for some. Luckily, Budget Brothers Termite and Pest Elimination has the answers.
One of the most obvious ways to know that you have a rodent problem is when you find droppings. They’re often spotted in the corners of cabinets or quiet, dark rooms such as closets and basements. You may, of course, also find them in kitchens, where a food supply is readily available. In the pantry, check the bagged items to see if the corners have been chewed through.
You should also take a walk around the perimeter of your home and look for cracks and openings in walls, windows, or doorways, which provide easy access inside. Rodents typically feed at night, so it might be good to do your walk around at dusk or later.
There are so many ways to eliminate rodents in Phoenix.
Do it yourself approaches might seem like cheap and easy solutions but are frequently dangerous and incomplete. Commercially available traps can harm pets and small children if they’re not monitored carefully. And of course, then you’d have to deal with the disposal of the pest.
When you work with rodent elimination specialists, like Budget Brothers, you’re working with someone who understands the safest and most humane methods of removing the unwelcome guests from your house.
Getting rid of the rodents in your home isn’t just about getting the ones you’ve seen; it’s about eliminating the ones you don’t. Phoenix homes have a lot of hidden places in which a rodent may nest. You need an expert on Phoenix homes to find the nooks and crannies in which they hide or the sneaky ways in which they enter your house.
Once you rid your home of scurrying rodents, keep them away for good with a few tricks:
• Keep garbage cans covered and secured.
• Store pantry items in metal, glass, or plastic containers that repel tiny teeth and claws.
• Remove woodpiles, junk, and debris that attract rodent nests.
• If you have compost, turn it regularly and check for critters.
If you fear you have a rodent problem, don’t wait to take care of it.
