Gnaw Marks & Damage

Rodent teeth never stop growing. Look for rough wood shavings, chewed wires, or shredded insulation near the floor or in the attic.

Rodents are more than just a nuisance; they are a direct threat to your home’s safety. Beyond contaminating food surfaces with bacteria like Salmonella, mice and rats must constantly gnaw on wood and electrical wires to keep their teeth sharp, creating potential fire hazards and costly structural damage.

How Rodents Enter Your Home or Business

Mice and rats are opportunists. See the specific structural defects we look for during a rodent exclusion inspection.

The Low Ground: Foundation Vents

Primary Threats: Norway Rats, House Mice, Deer Mice

Rodents are excellent climbers. They scale brick and siding to reach unsealed gable vents, roof returns, and soffit intersections, gaining direct access to your attic insulation.

Technician's Insight: "Standard insect screen isn't enough—rats and mice can chew right through it. We install heavy-gauge steel mesh (exclusion barriers) that allows airflow but stops rodents from entering."

Why Are Rodents Choosing My Property? 

Rodent infestations rarely happen by chance on Long Island. They occur because your property, whether a home or business, provides an easily accessible and ideal environment that meets their three fundamental needs: food, water, and shelter.

  • Easy Food Access: Mice and rats have a keen sense of smell and are instantly drawn to easily accessible food sources. They view your kitchen as a year-round, unprotected buffet.
  • Moisture Sources: Rodents find water easily through minor plumbing leaks, condensation around pipes or utility lines, pet water bowls, and even moisture accumulation in damp basements or crawl spaces.
  • Safe Harbor: Your walls, attic, and garage offer insulation and protection from predators and extreme weather. They use tiny entry points—gaps around pipes, unsealed vents, or damaged siding—to access these warm, dark, and secluded nesting spots.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost of a rodent exterminator varies depending on the pest control treatment plan. Schedule a free quote and contact your local exterminators at EM Pest Control to request a thorough rodent inspection and create a customized rodent treatment plan.

Absolutely. We prioritize the safety of your family and pets above all else. EM Pest Control utilizes strategic placement of professional tamper resistant bait stations called Bell Sensing IQ Bait Stations around the exterior of your home or business, in protected locations (like secured crawl spaces, or attics) where your child and pets can't access the bait inside. For indoor issues, we primarily rely on non-toxic trapping and exclusion (sealing) methods, which are completely safe for the living areas of your home.

While store-bought traps may catch a few individuals, they rarely solve the underlying problem. For example, steel wool does not stop rodents. Mice and rats will pull it out to gain access to your property and will deteriorate over time.

Our technicians use materials that does not deteriorate, and rodents will not be able to pull it out. Our technicians are trained to use those material and find hidden access points that DIY attempts often miss, providing a comprehensive, long-term solution rather than a temporary fix.

At EM Pest Control, we stand out due to our commitment to permanent, guaranteed results through our proven Exclusion program. We move beyond simple trapping by prioritizing sealing, removal, and sanitation. Our focus is on long-term prevention and peace of mind, ensuring your home or business is secure against future invasions, all backed by professional expertise and monitoring.

We identify and seal accessible structural gaps that rodents use to enter the home. This may include utility penetrations, foundation gaps, and common exterior entry points. Structural repairs beyond pest-related sealing are not included.

Sanitation service includes removal of visible droppings and surface cleaning of affected areas. It does not include insulation removal or full remediation services.
