Rat
and mice removal and control services in NJ
Rats are successful at keeping
their specie alive for millions of
years...
but throughout all of those years
billions of dollars each year has been lost by
contamination of food by rodent droppings, urine and
hair. Rodents destroy much more food than they could
possibly eat, and their chewing habits have been
responsible for causing fires.
Also, they're breeding doesn't help controlling the
problem because within a year they can have between
thirty to eighty offspring.
The reason for the survival of this species is that they
can squeeze through a hole the size of a 20 cent piece,
fall 20 meters with no injury, tread water for 3 days,
eat all sorts of food and survive an atomic bomb test.
THE ROOF RAT
The rat is responsible for the Black Plague and the
death of millions of people from its flea. Its ability
to climb spread it throughout the world by climbing
ships hawsers. It likes to live in trees and roofs of
buildings.
DISTINGUISHING Rats from Mice
Mice are distinguished from young rats by smaller heads
and feet, larger ears in proportion, and much longer
tail.
Proofing
In pest control this means the blocking of
entry points by physical means such as bird wire, metal
sheeting and steel wool or door seals.
Contact Dusts and Gels
Such as Bromatrol dust or
Fentrol gel may be used once it is established where the
activity is situated. You can determine this by the use
of talc as a tracking dust.
Preventing rats in the home
Good hygiene and limiting
supply of food and water is the best for preventing
rodent infestations.
Rodent Proofing
Doors, windows, screens and cracked concrete are easy
access for rodents. Look for openings near the top of
buildings such as roof vents, eaves, overhangs and roof
top air conditioning units. Drainpipes need a screen on
the bottom as well as the top.
