How Much Will Rodent Infestation Cleanup Cost?

You’ve heard squeaking and scratching sounds coming from your attic, and now you’ve even seen a live rodent scurrying around your house. You called a rodent control company and they’ve confirmed your worst fears – you have a rodent infestation. So how much will the rodent removal and rodent infestation cleanup cost? And, is it really worth the investment to have the job handled by professionals?

 

Nowadays we can buy traps and rat poison online, so you might think that investing money in a professional rodent control and cleanup company is a waste of money. However, you can’t put a price on your family’s health, and if your cleanup and rodent control efforts aren’t done correctly you can put your family’s health and safety at risk.

 

So how much is a rodent control and clean up going to cost you on your bottom line? Well, it’s complicated, but it mostly depends on:

  1. the size of your attic

  2. the extent of the damage done.

 

However, these costs are absolutely necessary and there are ways to justify these rodent infestation cleaning costs.

 

 

Damages Determine Cost

Rodents can cause serious damage to a home. Rodents tend to destroy the area they build their nests in. Additionally, all rodents need to gnaw on things to wear down their teeth. In a home, this means that everything from wooden doorframes to attic insulation to electrical wiring could be damaged during a rodent infestation.

The damage done to your home during a rodent infestation, as well as the size of the active rodent infestation in your home, will determine your rodent infestation cleanup cost.

Frayed electrical wiring can put your home at risk of catching fire. Depending on the extent of the damages, you may need to hire a professional to patch or replace damaged wiring in your home. The same goes for your attic insulation. Rodents like to build their nests in attic insulation, which can completely destroy the insulation in your home. If your attic insulation is damaged or contaminated, your insulation will need to be cleaned and decontaminated or, in some cases, removed and completely replaced.

 

Rodent Infestation Requires More Than Normal Cleaning

Rat problems are much more than a nuisance – rodents carry a wide variety of dangerous, highly contagious diseases including hantavirus, hemorrhagic fever, salmonella, rat bite fever and typhus. In addition to this, rodent droppings, dead rodents, and urine are a breeding ground for germs and bacteria. All of this means that regular attic cleaning will not be enough to restore your home to a safe, healthy environment. Hiring a professional cleaning and decontamination team with specialized equipment and successful track record of handling rodent infestation cleanup is the best way to ensure that your come is completely decontaminated.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image="5018" img_size="600×250" alignment="center" onclick="custom_link" link="https://atticconstruction.com/contact-us/" css=".vc_custom_1556746674406{margin-top: 50px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}"][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

When To Call For Rat Control – Recognizing Infestation

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Rat Proofing, Roof Rats. No Comments on When To Call For Rat Control – Recognizing Infestation

Being able to recognize the many signs of rodent infestation is important. Rodents are nocturnal, so you might not actually see a rodent in your home even if you have an active rodent infestation. If you notice any of these things happening in your home, be sure to call a professional rat control service to come and inspect your home right away to see if you have a rodent infestation:

 

Rodent Droppings – You will typically find rodent droppings anywhere near where rodents are eating or nesting. Rodents produce a lot of droppings and if you have an infestation it is likely you will find them all over the house. Common places to see rodent feces includes attics, along walls, on top of wall studs/beams, in old boxes, and in kitchen cabinets.

 

Squeaks And Grinding Sounds – Rodents aren’t quiet. They like to grind their teeth on wood which can cause loud scraping noises throughout your house. If you’ve been hearing animal noises you can’t explain, like squeaks, rustling and scampering sounds you might have rodents living in your home.

 

Urine Trails – Rodents have weak bladders that cause them to leave trails of urine all over the home. Mice sometimes make what are called “urinating pillars” around the home. These “pillars” are mounds of grease, dirt and urine.

 

Nests – Rodents love to build nests in warm, soft materials like fabric or attic insulation. They will usually look for sheltered, out-of-the-way places like attics and crawl spaces to build their nests. If you notice ripped up fabric or insulation along with rodent droppings you may have just stumbled upon a rodent nest.

 

Gnaw Marks – All rodents need to gnaw in order to wear down their teeth. Rodents love to chew on wood, but if no wood can be found they will gnaw on whatever is closest. If you suspect you are dealing with a rodent infestation, be on the lookout for rodent teeth marks on wooden door frames and chewed, frayed electrical wiring.

 

Grease Marks – Rodents are flexible and can squeeze through holes that are only as big as a quarter. Often, when they squeeze through these tight spaces they leave behind dirty grease marks. Look for these along your walls and baseboards and report any holes you find to your rat control technician when they arrive to inspect your home. These holes might lead to nests or provide rodents access to your home.

 

Overly Excited Pets – If you have a pet and your cat or dog seems extra excitable, they could be detecting rodent intruders.

 

Rodent infestation can endanger your family’s health and cause significant damage to your home as well. If you’ve noticed these signs, call a professional rat control service right away and be sure to get your home inspected.

Rodent Control Methods

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Rat Proofing, Roof Rats. No Comments on Rodent Control Methods

Rats and mice like to breed and nest in the small, secret spaces of your home like your attic or crawl spaces. By the time you notice they’re there, you may already have a full blown rodent infestation on your hands. Rodent infestations are difficult to get rid of. Rodents are masters of hiding out of sight in walls, they breed quickly, and are flexible enough to fit through holes in your walls and baseboards the size of a quarter. Because of this, rodent control professionals need to use a combination of several rodent control methods in order to not only rid your house of rodents, but to prevent them from coming back.

 

Rodent Control Method #1: Traps

 

  • What Are Traps? Rodent traps do exactly what their name implies, they trap rodents. Traps come in all shapes and sizes depending on the type of rodent infestation you are dealing with and the severity of the infestation. A rodent control specialist will know the best places to set traps in your home based on your rodent activity.
  • How Do Traps Work? There are several types of rodent traps. Regular traps include things like snap traps and glue traps, both of which aim to kill the rodents. Snap traps are traps with a very powerful spring inside. These traps are set with bait and snap closed quickly killing the rat. Glue traps are a powerful sticky fly paper that can be placed anywhere. When rodents run across the glue trap they get stuck and either starve to death or can be removed from your home by a professional. Humane traps, are traps that simply trap rodents without killing them. These traps are like big cages. As soon as a rodent enters the trap the door shuts, trapping it inside. Once you’ve captured a rodent you can pick the trap up by its handle and remove the rodent to wherever you plan to release it.
  • The Trouble With Traps. Rodents breed quickly making rodent trapping a full-time job. As soon as you trap some rodents, there will be more. Rodent trapping does nothing to prevent future re-infestation of your home.

 

Rodent Control Method #2: Poison

 

  • What Is Poison? Rodent control professionals use poison to kill the active rodent population in your home. It is the most commonly used method by pest control companies to shrink an active rodent population.
  • How Does Poison Work? Rodent poisons, also known as rodenticides, comes in several forms, but pellets are the most commonly used. These poisons are anti-coagulants, meaning they kill the rodent by causing massive internal bleeding.
  • The Problem With Poisons. Rodents have to ingest several doses of poison for the poison to actually work. Because it takes so long to work, poisoned rats often die in hard to reach places in your home, like inside your home’s walls, causing foul odors and exposing your family to harmful bacteria and diseases. Leaving poison around your home can be especially dangerous if you have children or small pets.

 

Rodent Control Method #3: Rodent Proofing

 

  • What Is Rodent Proofing? Rodent proofing is the only permanent way to eliminate a rodent infestation in your home. During the rodent proofing process, skilled rodent control technicians find and seal all rodent access points in your home to block rats from getting in and prevent future infestations.
  • How Does Rodent Proofing Work? Rodent proofing happens in 3 stages. First your home is inspected and all rodent entry access points are located. Then all of these access points are sealed using a combination of professional grade sealant and steel mesh. Lastly, the infested areas of your home are completely cleaned, disinfected and deodorized to restore your home to a healthy environment.

Permanent Rat Pest Control

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Rat Proofing, Roof Rats. No Comments on Permanent Rat Pest Control

The only form of completely permanent rat pest control is called rodent proofing. Rodent proofing is accomplished without the use of any dangerous chemicals poisons or traps. It involves three major phases – inspection, home sealing and cleaning and decontamination.

 

Initial Home Inspection

Every successful rodent proofing job begins with a thorough inspection of the property. Professional rat pest control technicians will be looking closely at your home to see where the infestation is and to find any rodent entry access points in your baseboards, walls or roof. Because rodents are highly flexible and can squeeze through a gap as small as a quarter, rat pest control specialists will need to take their time and comb through every inch of your house looking for potential entry points.

 

Home Sealing

Once the rat pest control technicians have figured out where all of the potential rodent entry access points in your home are, it is time to seal them. Your rat pest control professional will go to each individual entry point and seal it using a mix of professional grade sealant and wire mesh. Sealing these entry points are what prevent future rodent infestations and make rodent proofing a truly permanent solution for homeowners. When hiring a rodent proofing company, be sure to get one that guarantees the permanency of their rodent proofing with a 12 month warranty.

 

Cleaning And Decontamination

After your rodent infestation has been taken care of and your home has been properly sealed, it’s time to deal with the aftermath of the infestation itself. Rodent infestations can cause massive damage to homes. Frayed electrical wiring, rotting rat carcasses, ripped up insulation and copious amounts of rat urine and feces make the cleanup after an infestation a job for professionals. A professional rat pest control company will have equipment to ensure that your home is not only cleaned, but professionally decontaminated. Rats carry a number of dangerous, highly contagious diseases including hanta virus, hemmorhagic fever, salmonella, rat bite fever and typhus. Professional decontamination is the only way to ensure that any lingering disease particles are completely eradicated.

 

The high speed breeding cycle of rodents makes setting traps or putting out poisons a highly inefficient way to go about rat pest control. Instead of buying a temporary solution to your rat problems, invest in rodent proofing and rid your home of rats for good. Hiring a professional rat pest control company not only assures that your home remains rodent free for good, it ensures that the entire process is done safely and that your home is restored to a healthy environment.

Rodent Removal Safety

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Rat Proofing, Roof Rats. No Comments on Rodent Removal Safety

Caution is key when you’re dealing with a rodent infestation. Rodents bite and scratch, carry dangerous diseases and can cause serious damage to your home. For these reasons, rodent removal should be handled with the utmost care in order to keep you, your family and your home as safe as possible. Here are a few key ways to ensure your home and the ones you love stay safe during the rodent removal process –

 

Hire A Professional.

 

Rodent removal is not a DIY job. Attempting to remove rodents from your home yourself exposes you to a myriad of dangerous diseases like hanta virus, hemmorhagic fever, salmonella, rat bite fever and typhus. Attempting to remove rodents yourself without the knowledge and professional grade equipment of a rodent removal company puts you at risk of getting sick or being bitten and scratched by rodents.

 

Choose Proofing Over Poison.

 

While many pest control companies use poison to decimate active rodent populations in your home, this might not be the safest thing for your family. Leaving rat poisons out around your home can be a risk, especially if you have curious pets or small children. Instead of using poison, hire a rodent proofing company instead. Not only is rodent proofing done without the use of dangerous chemicals, it is the only permanent way to ensure that your home is secured against future reinfestation.

 

Check Your Home For Fire Hazards.

 

Rats love chew on everything from your attic insulation to your home’s wooden doorframes. Unfortunately rodents love chewing on electrical wiring too. If you’re dealing with an active rodent infestation, be sure to have a professional inspect your home for frayed or damaged electrical wires. A single electric spark from a damaged wire can cause your home to go up in flames.

 

Get Your Home Professionally Decontaminated.

 

Once the rodents have been removed from your home and your home has been sealed against future infestation you may think you are equipped to do the cleaning part yourself, but you shouldn’t. Cleanup after a rodent infestation is not a normal DIY job. Rat feces and urine can carry disease and breed harmful germs and bacteria. A professional cleanup crew will know how to clean infested areas and dispose of rat carcasses and damaged insulation in a way that is safe. They will also have the equipment to ensure that your home is completely disinfected.

 

A rodent infestation poses a number of serious health and safety risks. Don’t gamble with your health and safety by attempting to remove rodents and clean up after an infestation on your on. Instead, as soon as you suspect you have a rodent infestation, call for professional help. Hiring a professional rodent removal company will ensure that your rodent problems are handled as efficiently and safely as possible.

3 Reasons To Call A Professional Rat Removal Company

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Rat Proofing, Roof Rats. No Comments on 3 Reasons To Call A Professional Rat Removal Company

If you’re a homeowner with access to the internet then you probably already know how quick and easy it is to search for, and find, a DIY solution to almost any problem you could have with your home. The same holds true for rat removal. A quick google search will turn up 100s of DIY rat removal solutions instantly. However, DIY rat removal is highly dangerous and is never a good idea. Here are three main reasons to call a professional rat removal company instead:

 

    1. Health Hazards – Rodents carry a myriad of dangerous, highly contagious diseases including things like hanta virus, hemmorhagic fever, salmonella, rat bite fever and typhus. These diseases can be spread through direct contact, like rat bites, or simply by breathing contaminated air. Attempting to take care of a home rodent infestation on your own, especially without the proper training or equipment, exposes you to these diseases directly and increases your chance of getting sick.
    2. Dangerous Debris – Rats are highly destructive, and wherever they nest they are likely to cause destruction leaving dangerous debris in their wake. In addition to this, rodents tend to nest in tight spaces, like attics and crawl spaces, which are generally harder to move around and maneuver in. Attempting to remove rats on your own means being in very close quarters with some dangerous debris including things like rat feces and urine, destroyed insulation, dead animal carcasses, and frayed/exposed electrical wiring. Plus, dealing with an active rodent infestation in your home means you also risk running into live rats who may attempt to bite you if they feel threatened.
    3. Ineffective Solution – Rodents breed quickly making rodent infestations hard to handle even for traditional pest control companies. Attempting to set down traps and lay out poison for rodents in your home can be dangerous if you aren’t trained to do so. And, even if you are able to successfully trap and poison some of the rats in your home, it is unlikely to solve your rodent problem for good. In order to permanently end a rodent infestation, you’ll need to hire a rat removal company that specializes in rodent proofing. Rodent proofing your home requires a technician who understands how to find and seal rodent entry points in order to prevent reinfestation. Simply using traps or poison will not get rid of your rodent problem. And, if all rodent access points in your home aren’t sealed properly rodents will find their way back in and your problem will start all over again.

 

Rat removal isn’t a DIY job. Permanent rodent removal requires specialized knowledge and professional grade equipment to be done correctly. If you’re dealing with a rodent infestation, don’t gamble with your health or your home by using a DIY rat removal solution off the internet. Instead, call a professional rat removal company as quickly as possible and have them do a thorough inspection of your house. Once they’ve inspected your home, these professional technicians will be able to recommend and carry out a permanent solution to your rodent problems and restore your home to a healthy environment.

Insulation Restoration

How to Choose A Rodent Removal Company

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Rat Proofing, Roof Rats. No Comments on How to Choose A Rodent Removal Company

So you’ve got rats in your attic… now what? If you’re dealing with a rodent infestation, time is of the essence. You’ll want to call a professional rodent removal company right away to remove any lingering rodents, protect your family’s health and prevent lasting damage to your home. Here are a few tips for choosing a rodent removal company:

 

Understand Your Options.

There are two main types of rodent removal company out there – extermination companies and rodent proofing companies. Understanding what both types of companies really offer is crucial to deciding which company you’ll call.

  • Exterminators – Extermination companies focus specifically on killing live rodents and other pests. Companies advertising general pest control, that place emphasis on trapping and poisoning services are usually extermination companies. These companies will use things like rodent trapping and poisoning to control the rodent population in your home. If you plan on using an extermination company be sure to ask them about what kinds of poisons they may be used in your home as these can be harmful to pets and small children. Also ask them about discounts on ongoing service contracts as well, as rodents breed quickly and a single extermination session is unlikely to eliminate a rodent infestation permanently.
  • Rodent Proofing – Rodent proofing companies focus on sealing up entry points in your home to eliminate rodent infestations permanently. These companies are often made up of construction and cleaning specialists rather than traditional pest control specialists. Rodent proofing is a complex process, but is usually performed without the use of dangerous poisons or traps, which is ideal for people with curious pets or small children. Be sure to ask if they offer cleaning services as well as you will want to have the infested area thoroughly decontaminated after all rodent entry points have been sealed.

 

 

Choose A Company With A Guarantee.

It is crucial to work with a rodent removal company that guarantees their services and really stands behind their work. That way, if anything goes wrong or your home becomes reinfested you’ll be able to rest easy knowing that the company that did the work is also willing to take full responsibility for any mistakes and fix them promptly.

 

Things to Keep In Mind:

A pest control service might do a great job in the trapping and removal of rats, mice, or other squirrelly rodents, but they do not have the incentive to keep them out. Rodent-proofing goes beyond the trapping or killing of rats and actually seals your home so rodents do not have a point of entry. Identifying and properly fortifying points of entry can take experience, after all, rodents are experts at sneaking into safe homes and turning them into nests.

 

Find Out What Others Have To Say.

When you’re looking to hire a rodent removal company be sure to look for company testimonials and reviews. Don’t just look at the testimonials they have put on their site either. Be sure to look at sites like Yelp, the BBB and Angie’s List to find out exactly what their customers are saying about them. Companies with a high number of good reviews are more likely to be doing good quality work.

 

Rodent infestations are damaging to both your home and your health. Subpar rodent removal companies can fail to fully treat rodent infestation or even leave your home vulnerable to future infestation. This is why it is crucial to find a reputable rodent removal company that guarantees their work and will solve your problem quickly, efficiently and permanently.

Rodent Proofing vs. Extermination

Written by Kevin on . Posted in Attic Rats, Rat Proofing, Roof Rats. No Comments on Rodent Proofing vs. Extermination

If you’ve had issues with a rodent infestation in your home, you may have noticed that rodent control companies have two very distinct ways of dealing with your rodent issue. Many traditional pest control companies emphasize extermination services, while other companies may offer “rodent proofing” services. Understanding the difference between these two types of rodent control services is crucial to selecting a rodent control company that meets your needs and will solve your rat problem for good.

 

Extermination Means Poison And Traps.

When a pest control company talks about extermination services they are talking about poison and traps. Simply put, the goal of extermination is to kill off the active rat population in your home using rodent traps and rat poison. Unfortunately, although this sounds like it would be the easiest solution, extermination comes with a long list of cons, including:

  • Time Consuming – Extermination is not a “quick fix” for your rodent problem. It can take several days and multiple doses of poison to kill a rat.
  • Dangerous For Children And Pets – Leaving poison or active traps around your home can be hazardous, especially to small children and pets. If you are opting to hire an exterminator be sure you know what chemicals will be used in your home and where so that you can set up the proper precautions to keep your children and pets safe.
  • Unsanitary – Poisoned rats can die in the walls of your home, leaving you rotting animal carcasses in your attic and crawlspaces. These decaying bodies can cause foul odors and provide a breeding ground for bacteria and disease.
  • A Temporary Solution – Rats breed quickly. Trapping and poisoning rats might kill-off some of the current infestation, but it does nothing to protect your home from future infestation. This makes trapping and poisoning rodents a full-time, never-ending job!

 

Rodent Proofing Is Permanent.

Rodent proofing a home is the only way to ensure that your home will be permanently protected from future rodent infestation. Best of all, rodent proofing can be done without any dangerous chemicals or traps. How does it work? The rodent proofing process is done in 3 phases:

  • Phase 1: Inspection – Every rodent proofing job will start with inspection of your attic for rodent entry access points. Rodent infestation is only possible when these holes and gaps are left unsealed.
  • Phase 2: Sealing – After identifying all possible rodent access points, these entry ways are sealed with professional grade sealant and steel mesh, denying access to new rodents and preventing infestation.
  • Phase 3: Cleanup – Once all the entry points are sealed your attic is cleaned, disinfected and deodorized.

 

Whether you choose to hire a company specializing rodent clean up or one skilled in extermination, it is important to act quickly if you suspect your home is infested. Rodents can damage your home and spread disease, so it is absolutely imperative to call a professional pest control or rodent proofing company right away!
