Controlling Rats and Mice

Rodents can cause a wide range of physical damage to your home, chewing through walls, beams and doors. Rodentat-borne diseases can include allergies, plague, murine typhus, Weil’s disease, food poisoning, and rat-bite fever. Rodents will bite in defense of themselves, their young or their nests.

Common abatement techniques that apply to both rats and mice

The primary steps in rodent control is eliminating their access and food sources. The single most common access point is an ill fitting garage door. Foods can include not only what YOU would eat but also things like cosmetics, pet foods, tobacco and even leather and vinyl. Secure securing trash and food waste in bins with tight fitting lids and remove wastes regularly.

Professional corrective treatment may involve traps, baits and repellent devices. Coventry Pest Control provides a six month warranty, twice the industry standard.
