Are Rodents Dangerous?

While there are plenty of cute portrayals of rodents in movies, these animals can be harmful if left unchecked. Their gnawing can cause electrical malfunctions and property damage, and they can also spread disease and be a host for other pests, such as fleas and ticks. This means mice and rats can pose health and safety risks without proper treatment. Luckily, our team creates an effective and customized solution based on your unique infestation and concerns.

Understanding the Rodent Threat in Tyler & Longview

Rodents are more than just a nuisance; they can cause significant damage to your property and pose serious health risks. In Tyler and Longview, common rodent species include rats and mice, which can invade homes in search of food and shelter.

Key Threats Posed by Rodents:

  • Property Damage: Rodents chew through wires, insulation, and wood, leading to costly repairs.
  • Health Risks: They carry diseases such as Hantavirus and Salmonella, which can be transmitted to humans.
  • Contamination: Rodents can contaminate food supplies with their droppings and urine.
  • Rapid Reproduction: A small rodent problem can quickly escalate due to their fast breeding cycles.

At Innovative Pest Control, we understand the unique challenges posed by rodents in this region. Our team is equipped with the knowledge and tools to effectively manage and prevent rodent infestations. 

Preventative Measures to Keep Rodents Away

Once you've had rodents removed from your home, it's important to take steps to prevent them from returning. Our team at Innovative Pest Control can help you implement preventative measures to keep rodents away for good. Here are some tips to help you maintain a rodent-free home:

  • Seal cracks and holes in your home's foundation, walls, and roof to prevent entry.
  • Keep food stored in airtight containers and clean up spills and crumbs promptly.
  • Trim back trees and shrubs that are close to your home to eliminate potential entry points.
  • Regularly inspect and clean areas like attics, basements, and crawl spaces where rodents may nest.
  • Schedule routine inspections with our experts to catch any potential rodent problems early.

By taking these preventative measures, you can protect your home and family from the dangers and damage that rodents can cause. Contact Innovative Pest Control today to learn more about our rodent prevention services.

What is Rodent Exclusion?

Rodent exclusion is a proactive approach to pest control that focuses on preventing rodents from entering your home in the first place. This method involves identifying and sealing entry points, such as cracks, gaps, and holes, that rodents use to gain access to your property.

The process begins with a thorough inspection of your home to locate potential entry points. Once identified, these areas are sealed using materials that rodents cannot chew through, such as steel wool, metal sheeting, and concrete. This not only prevents current infestations but also deters future ones.

Rodent exclusion is an essential part of a comprehensive pest control strategy. Addressing the root cause of infestations reduces the need for chemical treatments and ensures long-term protection for your home. This eco-friendly approach aligns with our commitment to safe and effective pest control solutions.
