 Terminix Commercial will develop a thorough and effective rodent
solution designed to meet your specific needs. The first step is a
thorough inspection of the property to determine where rodents are
active, where they may be entering, and what conditions may be
contributing to the infestation. The rodent control plan will likely
include three key components: Sanitation
The availability of food and shelter makes your business a prime
target for rats and mice. Sanitation recommendations might include:
- Eliminating trash and debris
- Making sure trash receptacles and dumpsters are sealed against
entry
- Arranging for regular trash pick-ups
- Regularly mowing tall weeds or grass near the facility
Exclusion
An average rat can get into your building through an opening no more
than 3/4" wide, while a mouse needs only a 1/4" opening. Exclusion
recommendations will include:
- Covering vents with a tight-fitting piece of 1/4" hardware
cloth
- Securing gaps around loose pipes and other wall intrusions
- Adding metal kick plates to exterior doors to keep rodents
from gnawing through the corners
- Applying tight weather stripping to the bottoms and sides of
all doors
Preventive Rodent Devices
A well-designed preventive program is key to minimize rodent
invasions. Such a program is required for facilities following
Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs). Your Terminix Commercial
service professional will work with you to determine the most
effective preventive measure. These might include snap traps,
catch traps and/or bait stations. In addition to our many
