Our Rodent Control Process
To successfully eliminate rodents from residential and commercial properties and keep them out, we use our extensive knowledge of rodents, the tools of our trade, and a comprehensive process that ensures success.
Consultation
Our first step towards rodent removal is to perform a thorough inspection of the structure and property to identify if rodent activity is present, what type of rodent is infesting, and assess the infestation's severity. We'll inspect areas where rodents are prone to invade, including under or behind appliances, basements, attics, dumpsters, cafeterias, etc. We'll also determine how they're getting inside and what conditions are encouraging them. Based on our assessment, we'll provide you a detailed quote that includes all rodent service recommendations, including any clean out or exclusion needs.
Rodent Removal & Clean Out
Once we've determined the scope of the issue, we will develop and implement a customized rodent plan that is specific to your needs and agreed upon between us, and you, the valued customer. Possible items included in this phase can include rodent trapping, clean out of rodent contaminated materials, and reduction in the existing rodent population with proper exclusion and monitoring tools.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What type of rats and mice commonly infest homes and businesses in our area?
In Yakima and Kittitas counties and throughout Central Washington, the roof rat, white-footed mouse, and deer mouse are the most common types of rodents. Visit our rodent pest identification to learn more.
-
How do I tell the difference between mice and rats?
From head to tail mice are smaller than rats by several inches. Mice also have smaller droppings (6 mm vs 12 mm) and gnaw marks (2 mm vs 4 mm) than rats. Mice have larger ears and pointy or triangular noises whereas rats have small ears and blunt noses. Both have long tails but mice have thin, hairy tails. Rats on the other hand have thick, scaly tails devoid of hair.
-
Can I get sick from rodents?
Yes. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), rodents have the potential to directly transmit several diseases including Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome, Leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, and Salmonellosis. They also introduce ticks, mites, and fleas onto properties. While Washington has very few cases of Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases, the link between rodents and ticks should be noted.

I have hantavirus, did rats give that to me?
In our region, rats are not normally the carriers of hantavirus. Unfortunately, white-foot and deer mice are and we have those in abundance.
