Rodent Control In Virginia And North & South Carolina

Keep Rodents Out Of Your Charlotte Home

Rodents are pests that no one wants in their Charlotte home. Not only will they drive your pets to destruction, but they’ll also cause some major problems for your family. Rodents are known to spread diseases through their contaminated droppings that often end up in pantries and on food prep surfaces. They spend a lot of time chewing, often gnawing through sheetrock, insulation, wiring, pipes, and other elements of your home that can be dangerous if damaged.

If you have reason to believe that rodents have gotten into your house, don’t wait until they’ve caused illnesses and damage to take action against them. The sooner you evict these furry pests, the better. Go-Forth Home Services offers rodent and pest control services to eliminate your infestation and keep it from returning, and we have over 60 years of experience doing so.

Rodent Control From Go-Forth Home Services

Free Inspection

While some signs of a rodent infestation are unmistakable, others are a bit more subtle. If you think you have a rodent infestation but aren’t sure, let our experts check it out for you. We’ll inspect your home for any signs of rodent activity. If we find any, we’ll also work to determine where the rodents are spending their time. This information helps aid our treatment efforts to make them effective quickly.

Treatment

When you have a rodent infestation, the first order of business is getting rid of every rodent in your house. We do this through a combination of glue boards, traps, and bait stations. This service is monthly or quarterly, depending on your needs, and designed first to eliminate your active infestation, then prevent a new one from forming. If you sign up for an ongoing service plan, we warranty your rodent control service.

Exclusion Work

For the best results, you don’t want to simply eliminate your rodent infestation, but also prevent new rodents from getting inside. To do this, you must seal up the entry points they use to get inside. We offer ground-level exclusion work to seal rodent entry points.

Stop Dangerous Rodents From Entering Your Home

Keeping your house healthy and safe is one of your top priorities, and when rodents invade, they make it very difficult to do either one of those things. Let Go-Forth Home Services take care of rodent problems for you. Whether you need help eliminating an active infestation or want preventative services to avoid a problem in the first place, we can help! Contact us to schedule a free inspection today.

What Are the Signs of a Rodent Infestation?

Signs of a rodent infestation can vary depending on the type of rodent, but common indicators include:

  • Droppings: Finding small, dark droppings around your home, especially in kitchens, basements, or attics, is a clear sign of rodents.
  • Gnaw Marks: Rodents tend to gnaw on wood, wires, furniture, and food packaging. Look for bite marks on food, walls, or furniture.
  • Nests: Rodents build nests using shredded materials like paper, fabric, or insulation. Finding these nests, often in hidden or hard-to-reach areas, is a strong indicator.
  • Noises: Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking noises, especially at night when rodents are most active, are a common sign of an infestation.
  • Odors: A musty or urine-like smell in certain areas of your home may indicate a rodent problem. The smell can come from their urine, feces, or the decaying carcass of a rodent.
  • Visible Rodents: If you see rodents during the day or notice them running along walls, in attics, or basements, this suggests an established infestation.
  • Damaged Food: Rodents are known for stealing food. You might notice chewed packaging, open food containers, or gnaw marks on food items.
  • Footprints: In dusty or less disturbed areas, rodent footprints may be visible, especially if you have small rodents like mice.
  • Chewed Wires: Rodents often chew on wires, which can cause damage to electrical systems and increase fire hazards.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to act quickly by contacting a pest control professional to address the infestation.

How Can I Prevent Rodents From Entering My Home?

To prevent rodents from entering your home, here are some effective steps you can take:

  • Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for cracks, gaps, or holes in walls, windows, doors, and foundations. Use caulk, steel wool, or other sealants to block these openings. Rodents can fit through even small spaces, so be thorough.
  • Install Door Sweeps: Ensure that all exterior doors have tight-fitting door sweeps to prevent rodents from slipping underneath.
  • Keep the Exterior Clean: Trim back bushes, trees, and shrubs around your home, as these can provide shelter and easy access to entry points.
  • Store Food Properly: Keep food sealed in airtight containers, and avoid leaving pet food or crumbs out. Rodents are often attracted to easily accessible food sources.
  • Dispose of Trash Regularly: Keep trash cans tightly sealed and dispose of waste frequently. Rodents are attracted to food waste.
  • Fix Leaks and Moisture Problems: Rodents are drawn to water sources, so fix leaky pipes and ensure that your home is dry. Damp areas in attics or basements are prime locations for rodents.
  • Use Rodent Repellents: Natural repellents like peppermint oil, garlic, or commercially available sprays can help deter rodents from entering.
  • Install Screens: Ensure that vents, chimneys, and other openings are covered with mesh or screens to prevent rodents from getting inside.
  • Keep Basements and Attics Clean: Rodents often nest in cluttered areas, so keeping these spaces clean and organized can reduce the likelihood of an infestation.
  • Inspect for Nests: Check areas like attics, basements, and crawl spaces for signs of rodent nests. If you find any, address the problem promptly.

By implementing these steps, you can significantly reduce the chances of rodents entering your home.
