Rodent Exclusion Service

Rodent exclusion is very common as we live in an era of rapid growth and construction. Builders will inadvertently leave entry points that need to be sealed up to prevent rodents entering your home. Older homes also have many access points for rodents to enter. Rodents like to eat dog food, bird seed, grains, nuts, and other similar food. Rodents are known to chew constantly, destroying important infrastructure of your home. Many standard home insurance policies have a list of exclusions which often contains rodent and insect infestation. 

With an estimated 20% of annual house fires being caused by rodents or rodents chewing, it is important to keep your home protected. EcoGuard is able to quickly identify and seal all entry points into your home, guaranteeing you rodent free living. We will maintain a rodent and disease free home for you and your family. Be cautious not to leave un-necessary entry points open into your home, such as windows and doors. This is most important in the evening when rodents are most active. EcoGuard can seal all points of entry into your home. If you are hearing noises in your attic or your walls, chances are you have either rats, mice, or squirrels. What time of day are you hearing the noise? Give us a call and we can inspect your home for rodents, and allow you to rest peacefully.

Rodent Sanitation Service

There is a distinct smell that accompanies rodents that is difficult to remove. A lot of rodents cannot control their bladder, and are often excreting urine and feces each step they take. Once rodents have been in your attic, the smell they leave behind attracts other rodents in the future if not removed. EcoGuard removes all rodent droppings and disinfects all areas that the rodents inhabited with our rodent clean out program. We use a hospital grade disinfectant that will sanitize and remove any bacteria or disease that the rodents may have left behind. We will leave your home rodent and disease free, allowing you to rest peacefully.

At EcoGuard Pest Management we are experienced and knowledgeable with all types of rodent control. Being a local company we are aware of the rodents you may have issues with based on your location. Our experienced pest control technicians will control them for you and keep your family safe. Every time we treat your property we will inspect harborage areas for activity and treat the home to keep all rodent issues under control. 

Rodent Traps & Baits

There are several effective strategies when getting rid of rats & mice. There are a wide variety of rodent traps available including glue traps, snap traps, and live traps. Each rodent trap has their own benefits and are all highly effective when placed strategically in areas that are known for high rodent traffic. Another method to use when getting rid of mice and rats is using poison baits also known as rodenticides. They are bait stations made of chemicals that are lethal for rodent types. EcoGuard pest control specialists have been trained to utilize these methods in the safest and most humane way possible to ensure that rodent populations are successfully eliminated.

10 signs that you might need rodent control

1. Chew Marks – Rodents will chew through food packaging, drywall, plastic, metal, and wood to get to their next meal. If you see holes in materials that appeared chewed through, you likely have a rodent problem.
2. Musky Odor – The smell of rodent urine is an unpleasant musk that contains pheromones that attract mates.
3. Rotting Odor - This smell often indicates that a rodent died in a wall cavity in your home and can become a potential health hazard.
4. Rodent Feces – Droppings that look like dark brown grains of rice are generally the most visible signs of a rodent problem. Feces left by rats and mice can also contain disease.
5. Entry Holes – Household rodents will chew through drywall and baseboards to gain access to food sources.
6. Scratching Sounds – Rodents are generally nocturnal and can be heard scratching at night in the walls.
7. Odd Pet Behavior – Dogs and cats have better senses and will often act erratically when rodents are present.
8. Tracks / Runways – Rodents will leave footprints in dust or grease smears along baseboards / rafters in pathways that are commonly used by rodents.

Where Do Rodents Live? 

Rodents can make themselves at home just about anywhere. The things that most rodents look for are food, water, warmth, nesting materials, and solitude. This makes the following all good places for rodents to hide:



• Kitchens
• Pantries
• Cabinets
• Closets
• Garages
• Basements
• Attics
• Crawl spaces
• Dressers
• Furniture
• Wall cavities

How Fast Can Rodents Get Out of Hand? 

Signs of rodent activity should prompt an immediate response because most common household rodents like rats and mice usually stay well hidden. If signs of rodent activity are noticed, it usually means that there is a large enough population that already exists and you are just noticing the tip of the iceberg. Rodent populations can grow exponentially if left unchecked:

• Month 1: 2 rodents
• Month 2: 5 rodents
• Month 3: 10 rodents
• Month 6: 50 rodents
• Month 9: 250 rodents
• Month 12: 1,248 rodents

Do Rodents Pose a Health Threat? 

1. Rodents carry disease and parasites and can contaminate infested areas with urine and feces. This can lead to diseases like hantavirus and salmonella. https://www.cdc.gov/rodents/diseases/direct.html
2. While uncommon, rodents can bite humans which lead to other diseases like rat bite fever, rabies, and the plague. https://www.cdc.gov/rodents/diseases/direct.html
