Warning Signs North Texas Rodents Leave Behind

Do you think you may have rodents in your North Texas home? It can be difficult to tell. Rodents can live in a home without making any noises that you're able to detect. Today, we're going to take a look at some of the warning signs to look for when rodents are being "as quiet as a mouse."

Suspicious Behavior

Is your cat sitting on the floor in your kitchen staring at a gap between your cabinet and the dishwasher? Is your dog pacing and acting funny in the kitchen or pantry? Cats and dogs can hear and smell things that you can't. Long before you realize you have a rodent infestation, your cat or dog will know. But don't expect your pet to solve your infestation. Mice and rats travel through wall voids where cats and dogs can't go. When rodents emerge from your walls, they're likely to come out behind your cabinets or drop down into the backs of drawers. They never have to expose themselves to open spaces where pets can get them.

Droppings

Are you finding tiny black pellets in the cabinet under your sink? Are you noticing pellets on your pantry shelves? Those little black pellets are mice or rat feces—but, you know that. Here's something you don't know. The droppings left by mice and rats can give you a pretty clear picture of how many rodents are infesting your home, which rodents you're dealing with, and whether or not you have an active infestation. "Really? You can tell all that from rodent poop?" You sure can. Large pellets are likely to be rat droppings and smaller pellets are likely to be mouse droppings. The more pellets you have, the more rodents you have. If the droppings are black and squishy, they're fresh. If they are grey and powdery, they're old. When droppings appear, clean them up and check back in that location to see if more droppings are left. The faster those droppings appear, the more rodents you have.

  • Do you offer any organic/green/low toxic treatments?

    We do offer “green” treatments because we understand that though the synthetic pesticides that we typically use are quite safe, some people for various valid reasons prefer a green approach to pest control. In addition to employing completely non-chemical measures such as structural and mechanical alterations (weep-hole exclusions, recommendations on door sweep replacement etc.) and glue traps or other monitoring devices, we have a number of natural and botanical insecticides that we can use to treat your home or business.

    We commonly use natural products such as boric acid, diatomaceous earth, and a number of different botanical products (pyrethrum, rosemary oil, cedar oil, etc.). These products can be very effective when used properly. One downside is that they usually don't last as long as synthetic pesticides, so we generally recommend a more frequent treatment cycle, such as monthly, when using these products. Just tell the person you speak with on the phone or the technician who services your property about your preference and we will be happy to accommodate you.

  • What are your hours?
    Our offices in both Lewisville, TX and Denton, TX are open Monday-Friday from 8am-5pm.
  • Are the products/chemicals you use safe?
    All of the products that we use have undergone extensive testing and have been approved for use by the EPA. Instead of using generic products, we believe in purchasing the best available chemicals that have been manufactured by well-known companies such as Bayer, BASF, and Dow. Additionally, all of our service programs are designed to be effective, safe, and environmentally responsible and all of the products we use are chosen to that end. When used properly by a licensed professional, they pose practically no risk to our customers or their children or pets.
  • Do you offer pest control to businesses?
    Yes, we offer both residential and commercial pest control. We will work with the needs of your business to ensure that pests are not a problem. Furthermore, we understand the State of Texas’s Health and Safety Codes when it comes to pesticide use and pest control.
