Commercial Rodent Control Pest Services

Rodents such as rats and mice can cause significant problems for businesses, from structural damage to health hazards and reputational damage. Early detection is crucial to mitigate these risks and ensure a safe and clean environment. Here are five signs that indicate a rodent infestation in your business:

1. Droppings: Rodent droppings near food sources, in cupboards, or along baseboards clearly indicate an infestation.
2. Gnaw Marks: Look for gnaw marks on wires, wooden structures, and food packaging, which indicate rodent activity.
3. Nests: Rodents create nests using shredded paper, fabric, and other soft materials, often found in hidden areas like behind appliances or inside walls.
4. Unusual Noises: Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking sounds, especially at night, can signal the presence of rodents.
5. Tracks & Smears: Rodents leave tracks and greasy smear marks along walls and floors, often visible in dusty or undisturbed areas.

If you notice any of these signs, you must act quickly and contact a local pest control service like Connell’s Pest Control. Our team specializes in effectively removing and preventing rats and mice, helping protect your business from the severe consequences of an infestation.

• Examine Droppings: Different pests leave different types of droppings. For instance, rodent droppings are small and pellet-shaped, while cockroach droppings resemble coffee grounds.
• Inspect Damage: The type of damage can give you clues about the pest. Gnaw marks on wires and wood are indicative of rodents, whereas holes in fabric might point to moths.
• Look for Nests: Rodents build nests using soft materials, while insects like termites create mud tubes. Identifying these structures can help pinpoint the pest.
• Listen for Sounds: Nocturnal pests like rats and mice make scratching or scurrying noises at night. In contrast, a constant buzzing might indicate a bee or wasp infestation.
• Check for Tracks: Dusty areas can reveal tracks. Rodents leave distinct footprints and tail marks, whereas insects might leave tiny trails.
• Identify Odors: Certain pests produce specific odors. A musty smell might indicate roaches, while a strong, ammonia-like smell could suggest rodents.
• Observe Activity: Different pests are active at different times. For example, bed bugs are usually active at night, while ants can be seen foraging during the day.

First, our trained specialists conduct a thorough inspection to identify entry points, often found in garage doors or exterior walls. Next, we strategically place traps and tamper-resistant bait stations around the area. These stations are secured, labeled, and monitored monthly to prevent further damage to your buildings or machinery.

Our team uses a combination of rodent traps, baits, and other control measures to eliminate current infestations and prevent future ones. We work with you to create a customized treatment plan that protects and secures what’s important to you. Whether it’s your home or business, we provide tailored pest control packages to meet your needs.

• Size: Mice are smaller, typically measuring 2-4 inches in body length, whereas rats are larger, ranging from 6-9 inches in body length.
• Appearance: Mice have smaller, more delicate bodies with larger ears and longer, thinner tails relative to their body size. Rats have thicker bodies, smaller ears, and shorter, thicker tails.
• Behavior: Mice are curious and explore new environments, often entering homes and businesses for food and shelter. Rats are more cautious and tend to avoid unfamiliar objects or environments.
• Droppings: Mice droppings are small, about the size of a grain of rice, and have pointed ends. Rat droppings are larger, about the size of a raisin, and have blunt ends.
• Nesting: Mice often build nests in hidden, warm areas using shredded paper or fabric. Rats prefer burrowing or nesting in lower, more secluded places like basements and crawl spaces.
• Diet: While both rodents are omnivorous, mice prefer grains and plants, while rats have a more varied diet and are known to eat larger items, including meat and garbage.
