Fall is Rodent Breeding Season in Memorial, Houston, TX

Bats are one of the worst infestations you can get in your home or business. They’re gentle, and will never attack you, but they’re still problematic.
Continue readingWhat Are the Best Ways to Prevent Rodent Infestations?


Dealing with a rodent infestation? Squirrels, rats, and mice, all rodents that love being in our homes. Why wouldn't they? It's warm, it's dry, and they're steady sources of food and things to chew.
We, of course, do not love having rodents in our home. They're fire hazards because they take out electrical wires. They get trapped in the wall and die there, which means foul odors. They spread disease through urine and feces. They breed and breed and breed: where you see one there could be many more.
So preventing rodent infestations should be a huge priority for any homeowner. Here's what you need to know.
What attracts rodents to your house?
Ready access to food attracts many rodents. If you have pet food out, have unsecured trash, or don't clean up your dishes as often as you should then you could be attracting a rodent infestation.
They need water too, which means pet dishes, leaky faucets, leaky sprinklers, and other water sources bring them in droves.
They also like places to hide, which means they like clutter and debris a great deal.
Some rodents just take advantage of access. If you have rotten eaves, soffits, fascia or other problems then they can access them and use them to get into your attic.
What do rats hate the most?
Sorry, but all rodents are pretty resilient little critters. You're not going to drive them away with smells. Not even scary smells, like cat urine. Rats in particular are pretty smart and soon figure out that the smells can't hurt them, but the food can still feed them.
So if you want to get rid of rodents, the only way is to physically remove all of them, to take away the things that attract them, and to block off access to the spaces they're using to get into your home. You may have to declutter your home and do housework every day to ensure that they stay gone.
What do you do if you see a rat in your house?
Stay calm and call pest control. Don't chase the rat around with a broom, scream at the rat, or try to catch the rat and take it outside.
These are all good ways to get a rat bite or a rat scratch, which are the primary ways that the diseases these and other rodents carry get transmitted.
Once you've called pest control clean the house from top to bottom: there are likely to be germs everywhere!

Wildlife Removal in The Woodlands


Many people enjoy living in The Woodlands because it puts them right next door to the 1800-acre George Mitchell Nature Preserve. While you might enjoy being able to spot various creatures when you visit the Preserve, the last place you want them is in your home or business.
It's not unusual for bats, raccoons, grey squirrels, rats, opossums, snakes, bees, and armadillos to become major issues for property owners in The Woodlands area. Each of these creatures threatens your investment in a variety of ways.
They Spread Disease
Every one of these animals carries some form of disease. Bats carry deadly upper respiratory fungal infections. Raccoons carry rabies. Rats carry just about every plague you can think of.
Wildlife in a building poses a severe health and safety risk that you need to address right away.
They Ruin Your Property
Properties in the Woodlands are often beautifully built and appointed. Yet you stand to lose all that if you let wildlife run rampant in your home.
First, there's just no getting around it: animals leave urine and feces everywhere. Bats and rats don't politely go outside or in litter boxes. That means stains, smells, and other damage that can be difficult and expensive to clean up.
Second, many of these creatures like to chew on wires, walls, roofs, soffits, and insulation. It just so happens that our homes and businesses are filled with ideal nesting materials.
Third, pests sometimes attract other pests.
Got rats? Snakes are right behind them, because the snakes feed on the rats. Got bees? Rats and roaches are ready to eat their honey.
They Threaten Your Safety
Sure, most of the snakes that might be found in your Woodlands home are unlikely to be venomous, but snake bites still hurt. Rats will bite, scratch, and spread disease when they feel threatened, and so will any other animal.
Honeybees? Swarms and stings can be deadly if you or anyone on your property is allergic.
The longer you leave these creatures on your property the more likely it is that you're going to have some kind of an encounter with them that could result in someone getting hurt. As they grow more invasive they push further and further into the spaces where humans live and work.
Humane Wildlife Removal Services
There are no DIY solutions that work well for chasing these animals away. The only ways to handle the problem are to find out how they're getting in. Then we have to seal those spaces and remove the animals that are already there.
Killing those animals comes with its own set of problems, including the fact that corpses can become trapped in walls or hard-to-reach attic spaces, creating their own smells, health, and safety issues.
Instead, we trap them and take them off to a place where they can live their little lives in peace while leaving you to yours.
If you know you have a problem, don't delay and don't wait. You've worked too long and too hard to secure your Woodlands property to lose it to these representatives from the great outdoors.
What You Need to know about Rodent Removal Services


Nobody has to be convinced to get rats out of the house. The first sight of a fat, nasty rodent with a long pink tail is usually enough to send most people running for solutions. Fast ones!
Yet the signs of rats appear long before you'll ever see the rats themselves. Usually this comes in the form of droppings and smells. There may also be stains from the rat's fur, or holes chewed through walls, floors, and food packages.
Whatever your warning sign was the next step is to get rid of them fast, before they start spreading disease.
The first thing we have to do is figure out how rodents are getting into your house in the first place. This allows us to block off their entry points. From there, we use humane bait and traps to get all of the rodents humanely captured for removal.
We take them far from your property and release them into the wild where they won’t be harmed or do harm.
Sealing up all the entry points can help, but there are things you can do as well.
For example, many people get rats or rodents because they don’t do a good job of keeping outdoor garbage bins secured. This attracts them in the first place. Then they target the attic, where insulation and a lack of human traffic provides them with a warm, dry nesting environment.
If you feed birds then you need to use a feeder basket and reduce the amount of food you’re using. Try to put in just enough to feed the birds during the day, ensuring nothing at all is left behind at night.
Rodent control can cost anywhere from $300 to $500 for an average sized home. We’re coming in, investigating every nook and cranny, getting everything sealed off, and getting the rodents trapped and removed.
We also provide additional services. For example, we can also assist with sanitizing, cleaning up and fixing the damage the rats have done. We also guarantee that when we come to your house, those pesky rodents don’t come back.
You don’t even have to adopt a cat to keep them away.
Stop the swarm before it gets any worse. Contact us sooner than later and request a free home inspection today!
