Professional Rodent Control for Central Virginia Homes
Eliminating mice and rats with exclusion, baiting, and comprehensive prevention strategies
Rodents Spread Disease and Cause Expensive Property Damage
Mice and rats are dangerous pests that contaminate food, spread diseases, and cause significant property damage. They gnaw through electrical wires creating fire hazards, contaminate surfaces with urine and droppings, and reproduce rapidly with a single pair potentially producing hundreds of offspring annually. Their constant gnawing damages insulation, wooden structures, and personal belongings. PestNow Central Virginia provides comprehensive rodent control using exclusion methods, professional baiting systems, and trapping that eliminates current infestations and prevents future invasions.
Why Professional Rodent Control Matters:
Disease prevention - stopping transmission of salmonella, hantavirus, and plague
Fire hazard elimination - preventing electrical fires from chewed wires
Food safety protection - eliminating contamination of kitchens and pantries
Structural protection - preventing damage to insulation and building materials
Complete exclusion - sealing entry points to prevent reinfestation
Rodent Problems in Central Virginia
House Mice
Small, prolific indoor invaders
Small gray-brown mice that prefer living inside homes year-round. They can squeeze through openings as small as a dime and reproduce rapidly, with females producing 5-10 litters annually. House mice contaminate food and create health hazards with their constant urination.
Norway Rats
Large, destructive burrowing rodents
Large brown rats that prefer ground-level areas like basements, crawl spaces, and first floors. They create extensive burrow systems and can gnaw through concrete, aluminum, and wood. Norway rats are highly intelligent and wary of new objects.
Roof Rats
Agile climbers infesting upper levels
Sleek, dark rats that excel at climbing and prefer upper levels of buildings including attics, rooflines, and tall trees. They access homes through roof vents, gaps in siding, and overhanging tree branches. Roof rats are particularly destructive to stored items and insulation.
Professional Rodent Control Solutions
Comprehensive Exclusion
Professional sealing of all potential entry points including gaps around pipes, cracks in foundations, openings around utility lines, and spaces under doors. We use commercial-grade materials that rodents cannot chew through for permanent protection.
Strategic Baiting Programs
Professional rodenticides placed in tamper-resistant bait stations positioned along rodent travel routes. These baits eliminate entire rodent populations while protecting children, pets, and non-target wildlife from accidental exposure.
Trapping Systems
Professional-grade snap traps, live traps, and multiple-catch devices strategically placed for maximum effectiveness. Trapping provides immediate results and allows monitoring of rodent activity levels and species identification.
Sanitation and Habitat Modification
Professional recommendations for eliminating food sources, water access, and nesting materials that attract rodents. Habitat modification makes your property less attractive to rodents and more effective for control methods.
Our Rodent Control Methods
Professional Exclusion Materials
Rodent-proof sealing compounds
Steel wool, copper mesh, expanding foam, and concrete patches that create permanent barriers against rodent entry. These materials cannot be chewed through and provide long-lasting protection against reinfestation.
Tamper-Resistant Bait Stations
Safe, effective rodenticide delivery
Locked bait stations that protect children and pets while providing continuous rodent control. Stations are monitored and refilled regularly to maintain effective rodent elimination programs.
Multi-Catch Trapping Systems
High-capacity rodent removal
Professional trapping devices that can capture multiple rodents safely and humanely. These systems are particularly effective for severe infestations and provide immediate population reduction.
