Rodent Control in Southern Louisiana

Mice and rats can put your health in danger and cause serious damage to your property. From chewing through your property’s structural components to eating wires and spreading diseases, these small creatures bring big risks. They can also seriously injure pets and children if they encounter them. If you see even one rodent in your home or business, chances are you have hundreds living in your walls, attics, and crawl spaces. Don’t let rats take over your life. At Delta Pest Services, we provide rodent control for both residential and commercial properties.

What Are the Common Signs of a Rodent Infestation?

If you see signs of a rat or mice infestation in your property, act immediately as they will multiply quickly. 

The common signs of a rodent infestation are:

• Droppings
• Chewed wires, baseboards, wood, and paper products.
• Holes in your walls.
• Odd pet behavior — scratching or following along walls, staring at a location for long periods of time, vocal alerts
• Allergy flare-ups.
• Rummaging, gnawing, or scratching noises.

How to Prevent A Rodent Infestation

Rodents seek three things: food, shelter, and water. That means it’s more common for mice, rats, squirrels, and other rodents to find their way into your home during the cooler months. As these pests can transmit various diseases, cause allergy flare-ups, and even bring in fleas and ticks, it’s necessary to know what you can do to prevent them from entering your home in the first place.

Some tips for keeping mice, rats, squirrels, and other rodents out of your home include:

• Seal up possible openings—such as garages, attics, and windows—with caulk or steel wool. 
• Check your window screens and chimney vents regularly.
• Keep shrubbery and tree branches cut back from the house.
• Store firewood at least 20 feet away from the home and five feet above the ground.
• Keep food away—bird feeders, crumbs, pet food: 
• Avoid setting up bird feeders in the yard.
• Dispose of garbage regularly.
• Keep leftover food and pet food in airtight containers.
• Vacuum crumbs often.
• Keep attics clear and storage boxes off the floor.
• Eliminate sites of moisture, including leaking pipes and clogged drains.
