Rodent Control
Affecting both homes and businesses, rats and mice are very common pests in South Florida. These Florida natives are a much-needed link in our natural food chain.
​
Typically, they happily live outside. Unfortunately for us, they don't always stay outside. Many factors can cause them to try to make your home their home. Cold weather, bad storms, landscaping, and construction are all common reasons rats may become homeless, seeking shelter in our homes!
​
Hero Pest Solutions has the experience to get rid of any rodent issue you are having.
Here's how:
Trapping
Setting traps is rodent control 101. It is a basic (but critical) step in removing any current infestation.
Knowing where to set them, how to set them, and what to bait with is crucial.
Sealing
Getting rodents out is one thing. Keeping them out is another. Finding how they entered your home or business and sealing those entry points ensures they don't return.
​​
Most pest control companies will seal these entry points with wire mesh, foam, or caulk. We offer a more extensive exclusion service, where we can remove/replace drywall, wood, or even concrete.
​
We can even paint to match the areas we needed to repair/replace, leaving minimal work for you once we are done.
Baiting
Rodent bait boxes are an effective way to keep rats and mice away from your property.
​
Rodenticide can be very dangerous to non-target pests, including local wildlife, our pets, or even us! Using quality boxes and knowing where to safely place these boxes is essential is the SAFE control of rodents using rodenticide.
​
We recommend using rodenticides only under the supervision of a licensed pest control company or operator. The health of your family and pets aren't worth cutting corners and handling yourself.
Smoke Test
One of the many services that separate us from other companies is our
smoke test.​
​
This service helps us find entry rodents points other companies miss. We can pump smoke into plumbing to detect damaged or uncapped pipes, apply it under roofing shingles to detect potential roofing issues, or under weep holes and in foundation gaps to find structural compromises.
The video here shows how we were able to detect a broken ventilation stack that rodents were using to enter inside a customers home.
