3 Rodent Questions to Ask Your Pest Professional
They may look adorable in pictures, but when they’re making themselves at home in your space, mice are anything but cute! Whether you’re aiming to prevent rodents at home or at work, you’ll want to ask your pest professional these three questions.
3 Things to Ask Your Pest Professional About Rodents
Traps are effective. But any good rodent control program should go beyond bait to focus on prevention, cleanliness, ongoing maintenance, and monitoring. Use these three questions as a starting point for your improved rodent control program.
1. What are the signs of a rodent infestation?
Common indicators of rodent activity include droppings, nests, burrows and gnaw marks. Ask for examples so you can be sure you know what you’re looking for. If you’re building out a rodent prevention plan at work, as your pest professional to host a training to get everyone on the same page.
2. What attracts mice and rats?
Rodents are most interested in places with food, water, and shelter. Your home or work building offers all three, so you’ll want to take note of where they’ll turn first. At home, mudrooms, garages, closets, and cluttered areas are the most popular places to find a new rodent roommate. Similarly, stock rooms, cafeterias, and custodial areas are common places to find rodents at work. Take a look at these areas to build a better prevention plan against rodents.
3. How can you tell if your rodent control plan is working?
Your pest professional should help you establish a process for monitoring and documenting any rodent activity. Keeping detailed notes will help you figure out if your rodent control program is effective.
It’s not always easy to prevent mice at home or work, but asking these fundamental questions will help you create a rodent-free work or living environment.
First things first though, you need to find a pest professional in order to ask the questions!
