The Importance of Effective Rodent Control in LA

Rodents often become a problem for homeowners after seeking shelter inside our homes, garages, and other outbuildings. They also move to our yards or into our homes after being attracted by food odors.

Some of the most common things that attract rodents to our properties are:

• Open containers
• Gardens and fruit trees
• Pet food and bird feeders
• Leaky outdoor fixtures or areas that allow standing water to pool

Their presence is dangerous and puts both people and our homes at risk. Using their front incisors to gnaw through wires, they can trigger electrical fires or shorts. Their gnawing habits will also cause damage to walls, furniture, flooring, boxes, clothing, and other structural elements or personal items within our homes.

Also, rodents, like mice and rats spread diseases, bacteria, and parasites. Hantavirus, leptospirosis, salmonellosis, and rat-bite fever are examples of illnesses spread by rodents that can make people ill. 

Our team works to contain outbreaks and minimize potential health risks by eliminating mice and rat infestations at their source. Implementing regular inspections and maintaining cleanliness acts as a preventive measure against unwanted rodent guests.

How Do I Get Rid of Rodents in Los Angeles?

Protecting your home against mice and rats is best done by partnering with local professionals who provide regular residential and commercial pest control. At A Step Above Pest Control & Termite, we offer thorough inspections, accurate identification, and various rodent treatment options for rodent removal, prevention, and control.

We begin with a full property assessment to ascertain the extent of rodent presence. Tailored treatment plans are devised based on inspection results, employing integrated pest management techniques to control and expel the infestation. These methods are safe, environmentally responsible, and designed to offer lasting protection.

How Can I Prevent Rodents in Los Angeles in the Future?

Rodents live in different areas depending on their species. Roof rats and house mice are excellent climbers and live or nest at both ground level and up off the ground. Roof rats were named because their most common entry point is along the roofline of buildings, and they prefer to live in the upper parts of buildings.

Norway rats are the opposite; they are poor climbers and have dense, heavy bodies. These rodents prefer to nest and enter structures at ground level.

Inside homes and other structures, rodents typically invade areas that are dark and quiet near food sources.

Keep rodents out of your Los Angeles area home with the following prevention tips:

• Seal holes around your house to make it more difficult for rodents to move in.
• Avoid providing rodents with easy access to water by repairing leaky hoses and dripping pipes and air conditioners.
• Limit their easy access to food by always keeping lids on trash cans and placing all trash bags into hard-sided trash cans.
• Before bringing boxes or other items into your home that were stored outside, always inspect them for rodents.
• Place steel wool in gaps around wires and pipes leading into your home.
• Reduce the clutter in your home and outside in your yard.
• Maintain a clean kitchen and regularly vacuum and wipe down surfaces to remove food debris and make your home less inviting to rodents.

Implementing prevention measures is crucial for long-term rodent control. Regular maintenance checks can preemptively identify and seal potential entry points, and consistent cleaning habits prevent not only rodents but other pest infestations. Employing a preventative pest control service offers an added layer of security, providing peace of mind year-round.
