Problems with Rodents?
PESTOUT rids your home of rodents, so they don’t come back!
Rats and mice not only make life miserable when they infest your home, they can also do serious damage. Rodents are disease bearing animals. Rats can fit through openings the size of a quarter; mice can squeeze through a hole the size of a dime. Poisoning rodents can make things worse, because after eating it they travel back to inaccessible nooks and crannies, where they die, stink, and attract more unwanted pests. Trapping them successfully can be very tricky and takes an expert to ensure the desired result. PESTOUT excludes and physically removes rodents to prevent them from returning, and helps maintain healthy indoor air quality (IAQ).

Rodents
When you cure a rodent problem, you want to be sure they don’t come back. This means that you can’t just poison or trap them to rid the house. They must be excluded first. 1.800.PESTOUT doesn’t limit your treatment to rodent removal. We block their access points, then we trap them. Then your home is free of rodents. We prefer not to use poison, because it’s potentially harmful to pets and children, and also because rats and mice will eat it, die where they can’t be reached, and stink for weeks. Once they are removed and blocked, new rodents can’t follow old pathways in because their source of entry has been permanently eliminated.
Did you know that the term rodent means “gnawing animal?” This is because their teeth never stop growing. To keep these chewing tools useable, rats gnaw on things-like electrical wires and ventilation ducts. Damage caused by rats can be costly both to your home and your health. Each year rodents cause more than a billion dollars of damage in America.

Rats can cause serious illness by airborne contaminates from their feces. When rodents, rats in particular nest in an attic or crawl space, their urine and feces increase in proportion to their number. A typical female rat can produce 6 litters a year of six to twelve offspring. A couple of rats are capable of producing 150 young in a year. You wouldn’t want this to happen in your house. Call 1.800.PESTOUT to prevent it before it gets too big.
Mice can trigger allergies and disease. They contaminate food and water with their waste. They can bite people causing disease. Parasites transmit disease by biting mice and then biting humans. Mice can cause salmonellosis (food poisoning) from feces contaminating food. Additionally, they transmit dermatitis, ratbite fever, tularemia, leptospirosis, lymphocytic choriomeningitis, rickettsial pox, and Hantavirus. Although, the risk of getting a serious disease from a common house mouse might be low, any risk is worth dealing with, especially with a common pest that can reproduce by the thousands in one location.
