Our Rodent Control Process
Catching sight of a rodent darting across your home's flooring can be an unsettling. Given rodents' quick breeding habits, encountering even a single one often signals the presence of additional unwelcome guests.
EM Pest Control will use an Intergrated Pest Management (IPM) Plan. This means our exterminators will use baits and traps first, saving chemicals as a last resort. Upon arrival, our technicians will:
- Inspect your property to determine the species of the rodent and how they are getting into your property.
- Next, we create a customized and detailed treatment plan describing what we will be doing on your property.
- Next, we find and seal entry points to prevent further infestation.
- Finally, we offer preventative tips to keep you rodent free in the future.
