Common Rodents
In Texas, homeowners often encounter a variety of rodents, including house mice, Norway rats, and roof rats. House mice are small and grey, while Norway rats are larger with shaggy brown fur and roof rats are sleek with black or dark brown fur.
These rodents are not only adapt at hiding and breeding within the walls, attics, and basements of homes, but they also have the ability to squeeze through incredibly small openings, making them difficult to exclude. Additionally, they are wary of new objects such as traps, which can make DIY removal efforts ineffective. Their rapid reproduction rates mean that a minor issue can quickly escalate into a major infestation. Thus, professional intervention is often necessary to ensure complete and effective removal.

Additionally, they can provide guidance on any precautions you should take during and after treatment to ensure the safety of all household members.
How do professionals prevent future rodent infestations?
Preventing future infestations is a crucial part of professional rodent control. Exterminators will identify potential entry points and seal them to prevent rodents from re-entering your home. They may also recommend changes in sanitation practices or landscaping modifications to make your property less attractive to rodents.
