The Dangers of a Rodent Infestation

Mice and rats are not just unwelcome guests; they are a direct threat to your home and health. Their presence can lead to a host of serious issues that go far beyond the initial discomfort of finding them. Understanding the risks is the first step toward protecting your family and property.

A rodent infestation can lead to several dangers:

• Property Damage: Rodents have teeth that constantly grow, leading them to gnaw on almost anything. This includes electrical wiring, which creates a serious fire hazard, as well as wooden beams, drywall, and insulation, compromising your home's structure.
• Health Concerns: Mice and rats can spread over 35 diseases. Their droppings and urine can contaminate food preparation surfaces and living areas, transmitting bacteria like salmonella and exposing your family to harmful pathogens.
• Contamination of Stored Goods: From pantries to basements and attics, rodents will chew through containers to contaminate food supplies and destroy irreplaceable items like photos, documents, and family heirlooms.
• Attraction of Other Pests: A rodent problem can sometimes lead to other pest issues. The presence of rodents can attract fleas, ticks, and mites into your home, creating a secondary infestation that also needs to be addressed.

Taking swift action is crucial to minimize these risks and reclaim your home.

Our Approach to Effective Rodent Control in Cleveland

At Epcon Lane, we know that getting rid of rodents requires more than just setting a few traps. Our philosophy of "minimum pesticides, maximum results" is perfectly suited for rodent control, where the primary goal is long-term prevention. We use our Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategy to provide a comprehensive solution.

Our proven rodent control process includes:

• Ongoing Monitoring: We ensure the problem is solved for good. Our service includes follow-up to check that the removal and exclusion efforts have been completely successful.

This complete approach ensures that we not only solve your current problem but also protect you from future invasions.

Why DIY Rodent Control Often Fails

Facing a rodent problem, many homeowners first turn to store-bought traps and baits. While this seems like a logical first step, these DIY methods often lead to frustration and a worsening infestation because they fail to address the complete picture of a rodent problem.

Traps may catch a few individuals, but they rarely eliminate an entire colony. Rodents are intelligent and cautious creatures that can learn to avoid traps, while a hidden nest continues to produce more offspring. This creates a cycle of catching one or two while the population grows.

Most importantly, DIY solutions do not address how the rodents are getting in. Without identifying and sealing every entry point, new mice and rats will simply replace the ones you catch. Professional services focus on this crucial exclusion work for a permanent solution.
