Secure Your Home Against Rodent Invasions
At Preferred Pest Control, we don't just remove existing rodents—we prevent them from returning with our comprehensive exclusion methods. Our technicians meticulously identify and seal all potential entry points around your property using professional-grade materials that withstand gnawing and tampering. This critical step transforms your rodent control from a temporary fix into a lasting solution, protecting your home's structural integrity and your family's health.
Permanent Protection Through Expert Exclusion
Rodents can squeeze through openings as small as a dime, making professional exclusion work essential. We target foundation cracks, utility penetrations, roof vents, and other vulnerable areas that DIY approaches often miss. Our exclusion techniques create an effective barrier that stops new rodents from entering while complementing our baiting and trapping methods. This comprehensive approach delivers superior results compared to store-bought solutions that address symptoms rather than causes.
Rodent Warning Signs Every Homeowner Should Know
Rodents aren't just unwanted visitors – they bring health risks, property damage, and stress to your home. When mice or rats find their way inside during colder months, they quickly establish nests and begin breeding, turning a minor nuisance into a major problem.
Watch for these telltale signs of rodent activity in your home:
- Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, especially at night
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, baseboards, or wooden structures
- Small, dark droppings near food sources or along walls
- Greasy rub marks along baseboards where rodents travel
- Damaged insulation or chewed wiring in attics and crawl spaces
- Nesting materials gathered from shredded paper or fabric
- Unusual pet behavior, particularly focused on walls or cabinets
Rodents typically enter homes through tiny gaps around foundations, utility lines, or deteriorated areas in older structures. The longer they remain, the more extensive the damage becomes—not just to food and furnishings, but potentially to critical electrical systems that create fire hazards.
At Preferred Pest Control, we understand that rodent problems worsen significantly during fall and winter in Missouri. Our comprehensive approach targets active infestations while preventing future ones with professional-grade solutions that store-bought products simply can't match.
