Rodents make up a large part of the wildlife population in the Gainesville area, and occasionally they cross our path in their search for food and shelter. While most of the time humans and rodents coexist peacefully, they sometimes enter homes enter homes and businesses, creating a problem. Attics are the most attractive places for rodents for the safety they provide from the elements as well as giving a quiet, dark place to build a place to breed.

There’s no such thing as a good rodent infestation, with problems ranging from foul odors and scratching sounds coming from the attic, to posing a significant health risk to you and your family and potentially causing extensive damage to your home or business.

Many people associate rodents only with rats and mice, but the term ‘rodent’ actually covers:

• Rats
• Mice
• Bats
• Moles
• Squirrels
• And more

Prevention

At Critter Control® of Gainesville, we believe the best way to get rid of a rodent infestation is to keep it from happening in the first place. Keeping windows closed when possible and making sure screen enclosures are in good repair goes a long way. Keep an eye out for any large cracks or holes on the exterior of your home to prevent rodents from easily entering. Be sure to keep food containers tightly sealed. In the event that a rodent does make it into your home, you want it to be as difficult as possible for them to access food.
