Rodent Control In South Florida

Rodents are some of the most common pests that get into homes and businesses in Margate and the surrounding areas. They are also one of the most dangerous pests to get into homes and businesses. Different types of pests can cause different kinds of problems, but rodents cause almost every problem known to pests. They damage buildings and belongings with their feces and their constant chewing. This damage can cause bigger issues such as water leaks, mold, fire hazards, and more. Rodents also cause health problems. Their feces can contaminate food or food prep surfaces, they can introduce parasites into a building, and in rarer instances of close contact, they can bite or scratch.

Having a rodent infestation in your home or business is not an option. If rodents get inside, you must get them out as quickly as you can. The longer they’re allowed to remain, the bigger the infestation will become and the more damage they will cause. Pro Pest Control has over 30 years of experience eliminating and preventing rodent infestations. We can efficiently and thoroughly eliminate your rodent infestation to protect your home, family, or business.

Inspection

Identifying particular aspects of a rodent infestation is important in treating it with the proper methods for total elimination. We’ll visit your property to look for signs of rodent activity, such as gnaw marks, feces, damage, and trails. We’ll identify entry points the rodents are using to access the inside of your structure. It is common to have rodent issues in South Florida, especially on properties that are close to the Everglades, like in west Parkland or Coral Springs.

We’ll also look for conducive conditions around your property. These are conditions that are attractive to rodents and bring them closer to your home or business, such as food left outside or easily accessible water sources.

Treatment

Once we understand the rodent control issues affecting your home or business, we’ll develop a rodent control plan that addresses these issues head-on. To remove the active infestation, we usually use bait boxes. We strategically place these boxes in and around your structure in places that are safe for children and pets.

We’ll address the conducive conditions around your property, explaining to you the issues we found and providing recommendations about what you can do to eliminate or reduce the things attracting rodents to your property.

We’ll also perform small exclusion work. We can plug holes, perform light patchwork, and do other exclusion work to seal the entry points rodents use to get into your house. If there are large areas of repair necessary, we can recommend a contractor to perform the service.

Professional Products

Using professional rodent products is essential for conducting effective and efficient rodent services. These specialized products are designed to target and eliminate rodent infestations, ensuring a thorough and lasting solution.

Whether it’s bait stations, traps, or rodenticides, these tools are carefully formulated to maximize safety for humans and pets while effectively controlling rodent populations. Professional pest control technicians rely on these products to implement strategic and customized solutions tailored to the unique needs of each infestation, ensuring a successful outcome for their clients.

To track rodent activity, rodent boxes are utilized along with bait placement inside these boxes. The presence and level of rodent activity can be monitored by assessing the number of bite marks on the baits. These baits are securely locked within the rodent boxes to prevent any unintended interactions by humans or other animals. It severe cases of infestations all that may be left to track the rodent activity is the crumbs from the baits. This indicates that there is a severe infestation because the rodents did not just leave bite marks. Instead, the rodents ate all the rodent bait.

This method ensures that the bait is accessible only to the targeted rodents, allowing for effective monitoring and control of rodent populations.

Mapping & Diagrams

Our software allows us to create diagrams to map out the rodent box locations on the property. We can build a custom plan designed to your specific property. The perspective gained from map view allows us to identify areas of concern around/outside the property that promote rodent activity. Areas that have overgrown vegetation, natural preserves, fresh water, dumpster areas, etc. all promote rodent activity. We develop a plan to strategically install rodent boxes in areas where rodents are active to provide the most effective results.

Documentation

When our technicians are on the property they record any active or non-active rodent boxes. Activity is based on whether the rodent are eating the baits or not.

Monthly or Bi-Monthly maintenance of rodent boxes is extremely important to track the effectiveness of the baits and how active the rodent problem is.

Every service our technicians provide detailed reports on the activity in each of the rodent boxes and provide picture documentation of the boxes that is connected to the rodent map. 

All the documents can be found on the Customer Portal. 

Taking care of a rodent infestation is about more than simply removing the rodents already inside the structure. By looking at the big picture, we can identify the root of the problem and help enact the preventative measures necessary to prevent rodent infestations in the future. Of course, as part of this process, we’ll also make sure your home or business becomes completely free of the rodents that have already moved in.
