Rodent Inspection and Control

When inspecting for rodents, we typically follow a systematic approach to identify signs of rodent activity and potential entry points.

Visual Inspection

Inspect both the interior and exterior of the property, focusing on areas where rodents are likely to hide or enter the premises. This includes basements, attics, crawl spaces, kitchens, and storage areas.

Identifying Signs of Infestation

We look for common signs of rodent activity, such as droppings, gnaw marks, tracks, and nests.

Checking Entry Points

We inspect the building's exterior for potential entry points used by rodents, such as gaps in walls, doors, windows, vents, and utility penetrations. Sealing these entry points is crucial for preventing future infestations.

Assessing Environmental Factors

We evaluate environmental factors that may attract rodents, such as food sources, water leaks, clutter, and vegetation near the building.

Developing a Treatment Plan

Based on their findings, we develop a customized treatment plan to eliminate existing rodent infestations and prevent future ones. This plan may include baiting, trapping, exclusion measures, and sanitation recommendations.

Overall, a thorough inspection is crucial for effectively addressing rodent infestations and implementing preventive measures to protect the property from future infestations. Contact Hawkeye Pest Control Today!
