Rodents

Rodent Control Services by 101 Exterminators

Rodents, including mice, rats, and gophers, are more than just unwelcome guests; they can carry diseases, contaminate food, and cause structural damage by gnawing on wires, wood, and insulation. 101 Exterminators provides comprehensive rodent control services to help homeowners and businesses in Monterey, San Benito, Santa Cruz, and Santa Clara counties effectively manage and prevent rodent infestations.

Why Rodents Pose a Serious Problem

Rodents are highly adaptive and can enter buildings through tiny gaps, seeking food, warmth, and shelter. Once inside, they breed quickly, which can lead to a large infestation in a short amount of time. Rodents are also carriers of diseases like hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella, posing health risks to people and pets. Additionally, their gnawing can damage electrical wires, increasing the risk of fires.

Common Types of Rodents We Manage

101 Exterminators handles various rodents commonly found in California properties:

  • Mice: Known for squeezing through small gaps, mice are often found in kitchens, attics, and wall voids.
  • Rats: Larger than mice, rats are particularly destructive, chewing through walls, pipes, and wiring.
  • Gophers: Primarily an outdoor pest, gophers dig extensive tunnels that can damage gardens, lawns, and landscaping.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation

Identifying a rodent infestation early can help prevent extensive damage. Here are common signs:

  • Droppings: Rodent droppings near food sources, in cabinets, or along baseboards indicate activity.
  • Gnaw Marks: Chewed wires, walls, or food packaging are signs of rodent activity.
  • Scratching Sounds: Noises in walls, ceilings, or attics at night may indicate the presence of rodents.
  • Nests: Rodents create nests from shredded paper, fabric, and insulation, often in hidden areas.
