Detailed Service Section

Our rodent control service in Annapolis goes beyond simply eliminating existing pests. We focus on providing long-term solutions to prevent future infestations. Our approach includes a comprehensive inspection, targeted treatments, and preventative measures tailored to your specific needs.

Integrated Pest Management (IPM)

We utilize an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach, which emphasizes prevention, monitoring, and the use of targeted treatments only when necessary. This minimizes the use of harsh chemicals and ensures the safety of your family and pets.

Inspection & Identification

Our service begins with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the type of rodents present, their entry points, and nesting areas. Accurate identification is crucial for selecting the most effective treatment methods. We will check common areas like kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and attics, along with exterior areas that may be conducive to rodent activity.

Treatment & Control

We offer a range of treatment options, including trapping, baiting, and exclusion techniques. Our experienced technicians will determine the best approach based on the severity of the infestation and the specific characteristics of your property. We prioritize humane and environmentally responsible solutions whenever possible. Some of the options available include mechanical traps, snap traps, glue traps, and rodenticides when necessary.

Exclusion & Prevention

Preventing future infestations is a key component of our service. We'll seal entry points, such as cracks and crevices in your foundation, around pipes, and under doors. We'll also provide recommendations on how to eliminate food sources and maintain a clean environment to discourage rodents from returning. This includes suggestions for proper food storage, garbage disposal, and landscaping maintenance.

Rodent-Borne Diseases

We understand the health risks associated with rodent infestations. Rodents can transmit diseases through their droppings, urine, and saliva. Our service includes comprehensive sanitation and disinfection to eliminate these health hazards and create a safe and healthy environment for your family.

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS)

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a severe respiratory illness that can be contracted from the droppings, urine, or saliva of infected rodents. Proper sanitation and disinfection are essential to minimize the risk of infection. We use EPA-approved disinfectants to eliminate hantavirus and other pathogens.

Leptospirosis

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that can be transmitted through contact with contaminated water or soil. Rodents can carry leptospirosis in their urine and spread it to humans and pets. Our service includes thorough cleaning and disinfection to eliminate leptospirosis and other bacterial contaminants. Ensure to wear protective equipment is necessary.

Common Problems

Scratching Noises in Walls or Ceilings

Hearing scratching noises, especially at night, is a strong indication of rodent activity. Rodents are nocturnal creatures, so they are most active when you're trying to sleep. These sounds often come from rats or mice moving through walls, attics, or crawl spaces. Ignoring this can lead to extensive damage to your property as they gnaw through electrical wires, insulation, and other materials.

Droppings Found Around the House

Finding small, pellet-like droppings is a clear sign of a rodent infestation. Rodent droppings are often found in areas where they forage for food, such as kitchens, pantries, and pet food storage areas. The presence of droppings not only indicates a potential health hazard but also confirms that rodents are actively infesting your home and should be taken seriously to prevent disease.

Gnaw Marks on Furniture or Food Packaging

Rodents have a constant need to gnaw to keep their teeth from overgrowing. Gnaw marks on furniture, baseboards, or food packaging are a common sign of their presence. If you notice unexplained damage, it's best to take immediate action. Ignoring gnaw marks can lead to structural damage to your home and contamination of your food supply.

Nests Made of Shredded Paper or Fabric

Rodents build nests for shelter and breeding. Nests are typically found in hidden areas like attics, basements, and behind appliances. The nests are often made of shredded paper, fabric, or other soft materials. Finding a nest confirms a established rodent population, which means the problem is more entrenched and requires professional control.

Unusual Pet Behavior

If you have pets, they may exhibit unusual behavior, such as increased alertness, scratching at walls, or trying to get into areas they normally wouldn't. Pets are often more sensitive to the presence of rodents than humans. Paying attention to your pet's behavior can provide an early warning sign of a rodent problem, allowing you to address it before it escalates.

Damaged Insulation

Rodents often nest in insulation, tearing it apart to create comfortable nesting sites. Damaged insulation can lead to higher energy bills as it reduces the efficiency of your home's heating and cooling systems. Furthermore, rodent activity in insulation can contaminate the air with allergens and pathogens, posing a health risk to your family. Regular monitoring of insulation condition can help.

Grease Marks Along Walls

Rodents often leave grease marks along walls as they repeatedly travel the same routes. The grease comes from their fur rubbing against the surfaces. These marks are particularly noticeable along baseboards, pipes, and other areas where rodents frequently travel. Finding grease marks indicates the presence of a consistent rodent pathway and can help identify their entry points.

Foul Odors

A persistent, musty odor can be a sign of a rodent infestation. The odor comes from rodent urine and droppings, which accumulate over time. The smell is not only unpleasant but can also indicate unsanitary conditions and the potential for disease transmission. Addressing the odor requires eliminating the rodents and thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the affected areas to remove the source of the smell.

Contaminated Food

Rodents contaminate food sources with their urine, droppings, and saliva, posing a significant health risk. If you find signs of rodent activity in your pantry or food storage areas, it's essential to discard the contaminated food immediately. Thoroughly clean and disinfect the area to prevent the spread of disease and future contamination. Proper food storage in sealed containers can help prevent rodents from accessing your food supply.

Visible Sightings

Seeing a rodent in your home, even just once, is a clear sign that you have a rodent problem. Rodents are typically shy and avoid human contact, so if you see one, it suggests that there are likely more hiding in your home. Swift action is necessary to eliminate the existing rodents and prevent them from reproducing and causing further damage. This is where Ant & Rodent Pest Control Glen Burnie can assist you.

Structural Damage

Rodents can cause significant structural damage by gnawing through wood, drywall, and electrical wires. This damage can compromise the integrity of your home and create safety hazards, such as fire risks from damaged electrical wiring. Addressing structural damage caused by rodents requires both eliminating the pests and repairing the affected areas. Regular inspections of your home can help identify and address structural issues early on.

Increased Allergies or Asthma Symptoms

Rodent droppings, urine, and dander can trigger allergies and asthma symptoms, especially in sensitive individuals. If you or your family members experience unexplained respiratory issues, it could be due to a rodent infestation. Professional cleaning and disinfection are necessary to remove allergens and improve indoor air quality. Addressing the rodent problem can lead to healthier living conditions and reduced allergy or asthma symptoms.

Dead Rodents

Finding a dead rodent in your home may seem like a good thing, but it often indicates a larger problem. Dead rodents can attract other pests, such as flies and beetles, and their decaying bodies can create foul odors. Additionally, dead rodents may be a sign of ongoing rodent activity, with new rodents entering your home to replace those that have died. Removing dead rodents and thoroughly cleaning the area are essential to prevent further problems.
