Rat removal from your atticDo you have rats getting in your house or attic? Seeing signs of holes chewed bags or boxes of food or hearing them scratching above you at night? Rats are dirty animals and leave droppings behind to contaminate your home. It may be time to call a rat exterminator. One of the most obvious methods of getting rid of rats or mice is with the use of traps. But the first place to start is by not giving them a reason to come in. Be sure all food is in closed containers they can't get into. Food that is left out attracts not only rats but many other pests and bugs as well. Keep your trash covered and take it outside when you throw food away. Don't leave the trash bag close to your home but put it in a closed garbage can or dumpster so you won't be tempting mice and rats to get into it. The whole idea is to not give them access to food, either inside or outside your home. Look for holes they may be coming in through. It's usually easy to tell if a hole or crack is the one they're using because it will get dirty around the edges where they rub against it.

Image and Article source: WikiHow via Tumblr When You Need a Rat Exterminator for Your Home Why Nuisance Wildlife Removal May Be Needed is republished from www.www.phoenixpestpros.com. Nuisance wildlife removal has unfortunately become more necessary as we encroach more and more into their territory. The term nuisance wildlife is used when referring to animals who live in our area but are now encroaching into our homes or causing damage to property. Why does this happen? Obviously there will always be wild animals and we wouldn't want a world where they didn't exist, but what causes them to become a problem? In most cases it's because their habitat is changing. It's shrinking as more homes and neighborhoods are being built, and commercial development is taking place around us. Sometimes their natural enemies have been removed, so the population numbers are no longer being kept in check. As their numbers grow and there are fewer places to find food and shelter, it's only natural that they turn to our homes and property for shelter and survival. And when they do, they invariably cause property damage and contamination that requires professional animal removal.
So what can we do to help keep wild animals from potentially becoming a problem or invading your home? The best ways are to know some common-sense steps you can take to make your home unappealing to them so you don't ever have a problem with nuisance wildlife.
Phoenix Pest Management & Wildlife Control has been humanely trapping and removing animals for home and business owners for almost 20 years. They are trained, experienced, and guarantee their work.

Rats, mice, and other rodents love a warm house just as much as we do. So when the weather outside starts turning cooler, they start looking for a way in. You may need to pay more attention to rat and mouse control and being sure they don't have access to your attic, basement or crawl space, or even sheds. It's much easier to keep them out than it is to remove them once they have set up housekeeping. It's pretty amazing how small a hole they can squeeze through. Usually, a quarter-inch opening is large enough to give them access, and small holes like that are easy to overlook. Mice have poor eyesight so they use their whiskers for feel and stay close to the sides or walls as they run, so they can feel as they go. As soon as they feel any warmth, like under a door or around windows, they will find a way to get to it. Mice use clutter to hide in and stay safe from predators. If there is junk or stored items around the outside of your house, they will burrow into it and feel safe. It also keeps them warm. To keep rats and mice away, don't store boxes of rags, papers, or other items that would make a comfortable nest. One of the ways to keep rats, mice, and other pests out of your home is to make it difficult for them to find a comfortable spot. Eliminating clutter inside and especially outside can make them look for a better opportunity elsewhere when they can't find a place to hide or nest. Phoenix Pest Management & Wildlife Control will find where the rats or mice are getting access to your home, close it up so they can't get back in, and remove the ones that have already gotten in. A good way to prevent having a problem in the first place is to call them for a Free Preventative Home Exclusion Inspection. They'll look for potential access points and and seal them up so the rodents have no way to get in. Prevention is the easiest and best way to keep from having a rat, mouse, or squirrel problem. Any house is susceptible, even a new one. All holes and cracks have to be sealed. Mice and rats multiply quickly so just one or two getting in will become a full-blown infestation in no time. Females can have up to ten litters every year, and when the babies reach six weeks old, they can start to have babies themselves. With an average of five to six in each litter, it's easy to see how it doesn't take long. Kitchens should be kept clean, all food put away and stored in containers they can't get into. Make things as difficult as possible. Having rats and mice get into your food source is extremely unsanitary and can cause diseases in humans. If they can't get into your food, they will eat clothing and other stored items, essentially ruining them. Save yourself the aggravation and expense of rat removal and extermination.

Could you have bed bugs in your home? When I think of bed bugs, I certainly don't think that they could be in my house, or in my bed. Instead, I think of cheap hotels with dirty sheets. But the reality is that they are also in high-end hotels that are kept clean and have moved into many homes in America. Could they be in your home? Absolutely.They are now found in abundance worldwide and if you travel, then there's a good chance you've had a few hitchhike their way home with you. If you don't travel, just one guest who does can bring them into your home. They can get into your clothes and suitcases in hotel rooms, and you could pick up a few merely by being in the same room with them. Your kids or grandchildren can bring them in from friends' homes. How did bed bugs get to be so prevalent, and where did the surge in their population start? Brandon Baker, who is a contributing author to PhillyVoice recently answered this question in an interview he did with Greg Cowper, curatorial assistant in the Drexel University Academy of Natural Sciences‘ entomology department.
Brandon goes on to tell how bed bugs got their name and some best practices for keeping them out of your home. You can read the rest of his article here: PhillyVoice. Should you be concerned? You will be when you see the bites they can leave. Maybe you thought your bites were from fleas or mosquitoes, but they could be from bed bugs instead. If you suspect that you might have a bed bug problem, or you just want peace of mind knowing that you don't, then you should have your home and mattresses checked for signs of an infestation. Bed bug control is just one of the services we offer with our comprehensive pest control. Call us today at 813-778-4181 for an appointment. via Blogger Are Bed Bugs Really that Prevalent?

The post Tips to Help Keep Roaches Away is courtesy of Phoenix Pest Management & Wildlife Control Blog. There are very few pests that can cause the same reaction that roaches do. Everyone hates them and for good reason. There's nothing good about them, they're dirty, and they carry germs and diseases. You certainly don't want them in your home or business. Roaches have been around for a very long time and they're a fact of life when you live in Florida. There are over 3,500 varieties but only a few of those are what we have to deal with here. Some are typically found outside and some like to live indoors. Whether you use a pest control service or choose to do it yourself, there are some basic things you can do to help keep them out.
You will usually know if you've got a roach problem because they leave droppings and dirt behind. It doesn't take long before you may have a full-blown infestation. Sometimes they will live in the walls, under the floors, and in the crawl spaces, and they come out through vents, electrical outlets, and any crack or crevice they can find. It can be a full-time job if you're trying to keep them under control yourself, but if you even suspect that you have an infestation, you should definitely call a good pest control company to provide service. Once they have them under control, most companies will let you choose a monthly or quarterly plan, depending on your needs. There's no need to live with bugs that are disgusting, dirty, and can make you uncomfortable living in your own home. Call Phoenix Pest Management & Wildlife Control for help today.
