Pest Control NY Tip of the day:

Don’t Allow Rodents to Live Rent-Free in Your Place!

The colder weather has set in and rodents seek warmth inside.  This can present a challenge to our pest control ny customers, in particular, where rodent populations are particularly high.  Building owners and residents must be more vigilant about rodent activity in colder months. One way is to keep perimeters as “rodent-proof” as possible.  How can you prevent rats and mice from entering your building or home?  See below for a few handy tips from Titanium Laboratories Pest Control NY Exterminator:

Rodent Tips from our Pest Control NY Exterminators

1. Eliminate gaps under doors: add a door sweep, especially to all exterior doors.
2. Seal around pipe openings, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.  This will help prevent rodent entry.
3. Declutter.  Rodents love to hide inside cluttered areas, especially inside closets and cabinets.  You are removing possible nesting areas for mice and rats.
4. Remove food sources, such as dog food and cat food left in a bowl on the floor overnight.
5. Vacuum up crumbs thoroughly and regularly.

Pest Control NY Rodent Case Example

Titanium Laboratories’ pest control NY team reported that rodents gnawed their way through metal doors into a building basement. The rodents gained access due to the cold weather.  Outdoor construction projects near the building, causing ground-movement, can also contribute to stirring up rodent activity.  Titanium Laboratories pest control NY team remedied the situation right away.

1. To combat rodent entry, we reinstalled door sweeps to replace the gnawed-away metal on the bottoms of doors, closing up openings that allow rodent entry to the building.
2. Product was also applied to wall voids to eliminate hidden rodent population that has already gained access to the building.
3. Rodent bait stations were re-baited with fresh product.

It was through these simple steps, and the building management following the basic recommendations above, that the rodent population was found to barely exist after only 30 days during our follow up visit.  When pest control NY tips are recommended by your exterminator, you can achieve results much faster by following your exterminator’s professional advice.
