Keep Destructive Rodents Off Your Seguin Property

Rodents are pests that you don’t want anywhere near your home. The presence of rodents on your property means there are likely other pests on your property as well, but that’s only where your problems begin. Once rodents get near your home, it’s only a matter of time until they get into your home. They’ll then begin to build nests, damage your belongings and the house itself, contaminate surfaces with urine and fecal matter, and more. 

A rodent infestation needs to be taken care of quickly and decisively to protect your home and family, and that’s where Daniel Pest Control & Professional Services comes in. Our rodent control services will eliminate rodents from your Seguin home, keep them off your property, and protect your house from future infestations. Reach out to us today to discuss how our team can eliminate rodents from your Seguin property.

Rodent Control From Daniel Pest Control

Inspection

We’ll begin with an inspection to identify the type of rodent in your house. Our inspection includes a thorough examination of both the interior and exterior of your house to identify signs of rodent activity. Once we know what type of rodents are causing problems and how they’re getting inside, we’ll create a treatment plan for your home.

Treatment

To prevent rodents from getting into your house, the entry points they’re using need to be sealed. We offer exclusion work to seal access points into your home. This work comes with a renewable one-year warranty.

In order to eliminate the rodents in your house and control the populations outside, we use bait and traps. Outside, we’ll place bait stations in strategic locations around your property. Inside, we’ll set snap trap stations, making sure to put them in places that are safe for your family and pets.

Follow-Up

Our rodent control service in Seguin also includes rodent removal. Initially, we’ll return to your home weekly to check and reset the traps and bait stations and remove the rodents. After a few weekly services, we’ll move to monthly or quarterly services, depending on your needs.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation

Here are the most common signs of a rodent infestation:

• Droppings: Small, pellet-shaped droppings near food sources, cabinets, or hidden corners.
• Gnaw Marks: Chewed wires, furniture, baseboards, or food packaging.
• Nests: Shredded paper, fabric, or plant material in secluded areas like wall voids or behind appliances.
• Unusual Noises: Scratching or scurrying sounds, especially at night, from walls, ceilings, or under floors.
• Grease Marks: Dark, greasy streaks along walls, floors, or near entry points.
• Tracks or Footprints: Small footprints or tail marks in dusty areas; use flour or talcum powder to confirm activity.
• Unusual Odors: Strong, musky smell from urine or a decaying rodent.
• Holes or Entry Points: Small holes in walls, floors, or foundations where rodents may have chewed through.
• Damaged Food or Packaging: Torn or gnawed food containers and spilled food in storage areas.
• Increased Pet Activity: Pets staring at walls, floors, or specific areas where rodents may be active.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s important to act quickly to prevent the infestation from worsening. Professional pest control services can help identify the extent of the problem and offer effective solutions.

Health Risks Associated with Rodents

Rodents are more than just a nuisance; they pose serious health risks to your household. Here’s how an infestation can impact your health:

• Disease Transmission: Rodents carry diseases such as hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella, which can spread through droppings, urine, and bites.
• Allergic Reactions: Rodent fur and dander can trigger allergies, leading to respiratory issues, especially in children and those with asthma.
• Food Contamination: Rodents can gnaw through food packaging, contaminating pantry items with bacteria.
• Parasites: Fleas, mites, and ticks often infest rodents, posing additional health risks to humans and pets.

By eliminating rodents promptly, you can protect your family from these health hazards and maintain a safer living environment.

Long-Term Rodent Prevention Tips

Keeping rodents out of your home requires consistent preventive measures. Follow these tips to reduce the risk of future infestations:

• Store Food Securely: Keep all food in sealed, rodent-proof containers.
• Dispose of Garbage Properly: Use tightly sealed trash bins and remove waste regularly.
• Eliminate Standing Water: Fix leaks and remove sources of excess moisture, as rodents need water to survive.
• Maintain Your Yard: Trim vegetation, remove debris, and keep woodpiles away from the home to reduce rodent harborage areas.
• Seal Entry Points: Regularly inspect and repair cracks in walls, gaps around pipes, and other openings that rodents can squeeze through.

Taking these steps can help you maintain a rodent-free home and avoid recurring infestations.
