Cleveland’s Rodent Problem
Northeast Ohio’s cold winters drive mice and rats indoors seeking warmth and food. A single pair of mice can produce 200+ offspring in just four months. By the time you see one mouse, there are likely many more hiding in your walls.
Why Rodents Are Dangerous
Rodents aren’t just a nuisance—they’re a health hazard:
- Disease transmission - Hantavirus, salmonella, leptospirosis
- Food contamination - A single mouse produces 50+ droppings per day
- Property damage - Chewing through wires (fire hazard), insulation, and structures
- Allergies - Rodent dander triggers asthma and allergic reactions
Signs of Rodent Activity
- Droppings along walls, in cabinets, or near food
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood, or wires
- Scratching sounds in walls or ceilings, especially at night
- Grease marks (rub marks) along baseboards
- Nests made of shredded paper, fabric, or insulation
- Musty odor in enclosed spaces
Our Rodent Control Process
1. Thorough Inspection
We inspect your entire property to identify:
- Active rodent populations and species
- Entry points (mice can fit through a hole the size of a dime)
- Food and water sources
- Nesting locations
2. Strategic Trapping
We use professional-grade traps placed in optimal locations based on rodent behavior patterns. Our technicians check and service traps regularly until the population is eliminated.
3. Exclusion (Sealing Entry Points)
Trapping alone isn’t enough. We seal entry points to prevent re-infestation:
- Foundation gaps and cracks
- Pipe and utility penetrations
- Gaps around doors and windows
- Roof line and soffit openings
4. Sanitation Recommendations
We provide guidance on reducing attractants:
- Proper food storage
- Eliminating water sources
- Reducing clutter and harborage areas
Why Professional Rodent Control Works
DIY methods often fail because they don’t address the full population or entry points. Our comprehensive approach eliminates current rodents AND prevents future infestations.
