First the ant invasion incident, and now this! You’re quickly starting to realize that you may need a long-term solution for your pest problem if you ever want to feel good about inviting your friends over again without fear of unwanted insects or rodents intruding on your holiday festivities. But, how can you find a solution that’s right for you?

Long-Term Pest Control in Jacksonville

Assuring that your pest control is going to be efficient in the long run is crucial. In the case of rodents specifically, there are a few steps you can take to set your home up to be free of rodents in the long term.

Inspection and Treatment

Have your home carefully inspected for rodent activity. If you see one mice or rat, chances are many little friends are hiding out in the corners and crevices of your home, just waiting for you to drop a couple of cookie crumbs on the floor. Experienced exterminators must inspect your entire house to identify the root of the problem.

Once identified, pest control professionals can set baiting and trapping equipment in an area away from children and pets. This equipment should be regularly monitored and replaced. If there is a problem with any of the equipment, it is important to contact a pest control expert immediately to either fix it or have it replaced. At Lindsey Pest Services, we make sure that the equipment used in your home is specific to your problem. For example, we would not use the same strategy on mice and rats because they are inherently different. With our expertise, we will create a customized program that will target the rodents infesting your home.

Maintaining a Rodent-Free Home

To keep your home rodent-free over a long period of time, you need to know how to set up your house in a way that rodents are unable to enter, let alone make themselves feel at home. First of all, it’s important to keep your home free of items that might attract rodents. Don’t leave food out in the open, sweep floors regularly, and clean up all traces of spills. Secondly, seal all cracks that are large enough for the smallest rodent to squeeze in. Finally, reduce the likelihood of rodents harboring in your home by cleaning up any piles of paper, fabric, or other miscellaneous materials throughout your home. By following these three steps, your likelihood of a rodent infestation significantly decreases, and you can host parties without the constant fear of a not-so-friendly rodent showing up without an invitation.
