Rodents

Don’t let rodents compromise the safety and hygiene of your property. Team Pro Pest Management specializes in rodent control solutions to address infestations and prevent future occurrences. 

Rodents pose a challenging and potentially hazardous threat, as they can carry diseases and contaminate food with their waste, fur, and saliva. Mice, for instance, can taint about ten times the amount of food they consume, presenting a serious health risk. The CDC links certain rodents to hantavirus pulmonary syndrome, a disease fatal in approximately 36 percent of reported U.S. cases.

These pests also host fleas that can spread plague and viruses such as lymphocytic choriomeningitis. Handling wild rodents is strongly discouraged due to their large teeth capable of transmitting various bacteria, viruses, and diseases through their saliva, feces, and urine.

If a rodent is spotted within your home, seeking professional help for removal and identification is essential, as the presence of one rodent may indicate a potential infestation. Rodents can be aggressive if cornered, posing a risk of bites in self-defense. Given their rapid breeding, rodents can quickly escalate from small populations to full-blown infestations, causing significant damage to both homes and agricultural communities.

Preventing rodent infestations is crucial, and early implementation of prevention methods is key to maintaining a rodent-free environment. This includes proper food storage in sealed containers, eliminating cardboard objects that attract rodents, and sealing any openings to prevent their entry and reentry. Professional solutions tailored to the unique challenges in Palm Beach County are often necessary for effective rodent control, as DIY methods and homemade repellents may not address full-blown infestations.

In the face of rodent infestations, a unified effort among neighbors can prove effective in prevention, and individual homes can be rodent-proofed through identifying and sealing potential entry points. Our skilled technicians conduct detailed assessments to identify entry points, nesting areas, and potential attractants. Employing a combination of traps, baits, and exclusion methods, we customize our approach to suit the specific rodent species infesting your space. Don’t let rodents compromise your safety and well-being—act promptly and professionally to ensure a rodent-free environment.
