Rodent Pest Control

South Florida rodent pest control involves discouraging mice and rats as well as avoiding contact with the creatures. How can you begin? The first step in rodent pest control involves removing shelter, water, and food sources. Begin by sealing holes around your home to prevent invasion. If you find a hole or entrance for the rodents – block it with a barrier.

While you might have done everything that you can to prevent rodents – they might find their way into your home. How do you know if you have a rat/mouse issue? You may notice dog food or other types of food bags torn open and eaten. The inevitable sign that causes most home owners to cringe is the tell-tale droppings that will show around entry and nesting areas, and food sources.

Many families try to remove rodents by using their own pest control methods – such as traps, poison bait or both.

Poison bait is another rodent pest control option and is most effective when combined with kill traps to quickly eradicate rodents yourself. The kill traps baited food such as with cheese or peanut butter will rapidly eradicate the most active rodents, while the bait will kill the remaining, but more cautious rodents. Rats and mice die after consuming the poison baits, most of which are formulated to cause the rodents to seek out a water source driving them outside the home or office building.

For more serious infestations of rodents, a licensed professional pest control expert may be required. A1 Super Heroes is your local South Florida pest control expert:
