Rodent Removal Services – Critter Control of the Triad

Rodent Removal in Winston-Salem NC

Rats and mice are the most common and most destructive pests to infest homes, contaminate food, damage property, and spread diseases.

Typically, if you see one rat or mouse, there are more nearby. The longer rodents are present, the more damage and danger you can expect, putting you and your family at risk. Professional rodent control with Critter Control will exterminate the rodent problem and provide long-term protection.

Home Inspection for Rodents

Rodent removal begins with a thorough inspection to determine how many rodents live in your home. Specific signs of rodent activity can be found around your home — for instance, gnaw marks, droppings, smudges, nesting materials, and small entryways. Knowing all the places to look for these is critical to successfully identifying a problem and damage to the interior and exterior of your home.

Critter Control has extensive expertise in evaluating rodent problems for homeowners. Once the inspection is complete, our wildlife specialist will build a custom solution to trap, remove, and prevent future rodent activity. The more established rodents are, the more involved the process will be.

Rodent Trapping & Removal

Most rodent removal services include trapping and proper removal of the animal. Each rodent requires a different type of trap and bait. For example, rat traps do not work for mice or squirrels. In addition to the kind of trap, placement and bait you use for trapping can make it effective or make the problem worse.

Rodents are pretty clever; if a trap is introduced into their daily travel paths, they will avoid it until further investigation is performed. The bait may also become ineffective quickly. Sometimes, putting traps in the wrong place or using the wrong bait can force rodents further into your home and places like your walls or tiny corners.

Rodent trapping usually takes 5 to 14 days, but the trapping duration depends on the severity of the infestation.

Whole House Exclusion of Rodent Control in Winston-Salem NC

You may need to replace all or part of your insulation if mice or rats live in your attic. Attic pests can cause severe damage. Insulation can be used by rats and mice to build nests. Animals living in your attic can soil insulation by urinating and defecating. This is not sanitary and will start to smell over time.

Excluding the whole house is by far the most effective way to control rodents. The exclusion of your entire home creates a barrier to prevent animals from entering or returning. Exclusions are a safe and long-term solution for keeping rodents away. We seal all entry points, including vents and pipes. Critter Control provides warranties for full-home exclusions. Certain geographic restrictions may be applicable.

Your life is so busy that you may not have time to double-check your home for new signs of rodent activity. You may see a squirrel outside your house but not think about the damage they could be causing. You may never see a mouse or rat that is clever in hiding itself and its activity.
