Rodent Control Solutions

Experience The Ecologic Entomology Difference: Innovative Pest Management

Effective and Responsible Rodent Control Solutions That Send Mice and Rats Packing

Mice and rats are highly adaptable creatures that thrive in nearly any environment, often living unnoticed in close proximity to humans.

A Single Mouse or Rat Sighting Often Signals a Larger Infestation

If you’ve recently spotted a rodent in your home, there’s a strong likelihood that a nest is nearby. A single nest can house up to two dozen adult mice. Beyond raiding and contaminating your stored food, mice and rats leave behind droppings that can spread disease and attract more pests if not addressed promptly. At Ecologic Entomology, we excel in creating and executing customized rodent control solutions to effectively eliminate pests at the source.

Our Control Arsenal

We offer a variety of rodent control solutions tailored to your needs, including trap-only programs, fertility control treatments, rodenticide treatments, direct-burrow fumigation, and non-lethal control methods. Our comprehensive services include exclusion (rodent-proofing) and thorough structural, landscape, and sanitary assessments to ensure a holistic approach to rodent management.

Comprehensive Control

Our service technicians thoroughly inspect your home, identifying cracks, holes, and potential entry points in the structure and surrounding landscape. Sealing common gaps and cracks is included in our rodent control services. Additionally, our technicians will pinpoint larger vulnerabilities that may necessitate wood or masonry replacement, ensuring you have a comprehensive understanding of necessary repairs. We use carefully selected, top-of-the-line control products to guarantee the highest quality results.

Norway Rat (Rattus norvegicus)

Deer Mouse (Peromyscus maniculatus)

House Mouse

These are small rodents with a pointed nose, large ears, and a long, scaly tail. Their fur is typically light brown to gray, with a lighter belly. They are commonly found indoors, especially in kitchens, pantries, garages, and other areas where food and trash are stored. They can nest in wall voids, attics, and basements. House mice are nocturnal and highly adaptable. They reproduce rapidly and can cause significant damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, and other household items.

Norway Rat

Also known as the brown rat, these rodents are larger and more robust. They have a heavy build, small ears, and a blunt nose. Their fur is coarse and brownish, with a lighter underside. They are often found in basements, sewers, and lower levels of buildings. They prefer burrows and can live in various outdoor environments. Norway rats are excellent burrowers and can cause extensive structural damage. They are also known to carry multiple diseases.

Deer Mouse

Deer mice are small rodents with a white underbelly, large eyes, and a bicolored tail. Their fur is typically brownish on top with a white underside. Often found in rural areas, these mice enter homes, especially during colder months. They prefer nesting in attics, basements, and garages. Deer mice are known carriers of hantavirus, which can harm humans. They are excellent climbers and can contaminate food and living areas with droppings.

Identifying Rodent Noises in Your Home

When you have rodent issues, you may hear various noises, especially during the evening when these creatures are most active. Common sounds include scratching, scurrying, and gnawing as rodents move through walls, ceilings, and floors, searching for food and nesting materials. You might also hear rustling as they navigate through insulation, boxes, and other stored items. Squeaking noises can indicate communication between rodents. These sounds are typically louder and more frequent during quiet nighttime hours but can occasionally be heard during the day if the infestation is significant. Recognizing these noises early can help address the rodent problem before it becomes more severe.

Home Guard Program

Why get locked into paying for four annual service visits when two are often enough to keep your home protected from pests? The simple answer: more visits mean more money for companies. The Home Guard program tackles your initial pest problems head-on and provides continuous protection against many common household pests, including rodents*. With only two services in the spring and fall, you can be sure you’re getting the best value for your money. There are no unnecessary winter services, hidden fees, or extra fluff. If covered pests persist between visits within the treatment zone, your service technician will return at no cost. That is how pest management should be. That is how pest management should be.

*While mice are covered under the Home Guard program, rat infestations require a specialized control solution.
