Importance of Rodent Control in Metro Detroit

An effective plan to handle rodents is vital for maintaining your family’s health and a hygienic environment. Rodent infestations can contaminate our living spaces with droppings and urine, compromising the health and well-being of your family. They can also carry diseases, including Hantavirus and Salmonellosis.

Rodents are certainly menaces when they’re alive, but even after they die they can cause concerns. As their bodies decompose, they may leave fleas, harmful microorganisms, and lingering odors.

This can attract more pests – an unwelcome additional problem. Traditional traps can present their own risks, as well.

On top of the health-related risks, rodents can also cause harm to our actual homes or office buildings. They can chew through wires, insulation, and even structural elements, which can lead to expensive repairs. At Mosquito Joe of Metro Detroit, we design our expert rodent control services to eliminate these risks. We’ll make sure that your spaces remain clean and welcoming.

Preventative Tips

  • Always clean up spilled food and water in the kitchen. Store all food in air-tight containers.

  • Keep kitchen garbage in containers with tight-fitting lids.

  • Pick up pet food dishes and water when not actively in use.

  • Patch and repair any holes, however small, in walls between rooms, between the garage and the attic, or leading outdoors. Pay particular attention to the back of cupboards and closets, vents, and around window casings.

  • Inspect all vents, especially along the roof, to be sure the vent covers fit properly and are in good repair.

  • Stop feeding wild birds. Spilled seed attracts and feeds rats and mice.

  • When adding food scraps to the compost, always turn the compost to cover any food scraps fully.

  • Prune any branches that overhang your roof, or that grow close to the roof.

  • Pick up fallen fruit or vegetables in the garden.

  • Keep the grass mowed short, trim shrubs, and remove leaf litter and clutter that can provide shelter.

  • Hire a professional pest control company, like Mosquito Joe of Metro Detroit to examine your property and curtail the rodent population.
