Although there are certainly some kinds of pests which are primarily just annoying to have around one’s property in Austin, rodents like rats or mice do not fit into this category. These creatures are happy to find sanctuary within our homes since they can feed on our leftover food and water. However, it is not simply obnoxious to find the traces of rats and mice in our homes and businesses in Austin, but downright dangerous.

The urine, feces, and saliva of rodents often carry harmful viruses and bacteria, including tuberculosis and salmonella. They might also be carriers of other nasty hosts like ticks, fleas, and mites, which can even transport fatal diseases, or at least long-lasting sickness. 

If you find signs of mice or rats, getting Austin rodent control is of the essence. If you do not let A-Tex Pest Management help you immediately, chances are that you might soon end up with a full-fledged invasion.

Contact us now at (512) 714-3383 for reliable rodent control services so your Austin home or commercial property can be rodent-free as soon as possible.

Identifying Signs of a Rodent Infestation

You might not immediately see rats and mice themselves because they are nocturnal in Austin, desiring to stay hidden from various different predators, including humans. This is why you may need to look for other warning signs.

Some of the most common examples of an increasing rodent problem include:

• Rodent droppings and feces are scattered around
• Odd scurrying or scratching sounds coming from the ceiling, floors, or walls
• Damage from gnawing, whether on wires, plastic, paper, wood, or even cables
• Chew marks on food or food containers
• Musty odors from stale urine and old droppings

Common Rodent Species Found in Texas

Fortunately in Austin, you do not need to know the specific kind of rat or mouse that is plaguing your property, since our dedicated team is highly trained to identify the distinctions of typical rodents.

As a basic guide, however, some examples of the most common breeds include:

• Roof rats
• Norway rats
• House mice

Effective Rodent Protection & Prevention Strategies

There are multiple ways of ensuring that your rat and mouse problem is being taken care of. First, you can count on our team to give a detailed inspection of your entire property to identify where there are signs of rodent life, and where the primary entrances and exits are. We can then create a barrier of defense to protect both your yard and your property in Austin.

One way that A-Tex Pest Management accomplishes this is by making sure that even the smallest cracks and holes are eliminated – we can help you seal these spots as well as repair larger breaks where rodents might crawl into. Then we also make sure to remove the current host of rodents from residing on your property in Austin. We can use repellants and sprays, as well as some mousetraps, to ensure that the entire location is rodent-free. You can trust us to work with your distinct preferences and needs no matter what.

What Smells Repel Mice Instantly?

Mice are averse to strong smells, so you can use things like ammonia, bleach, moth balls, or essential oils like peppermint, clove, tea tree, rosemary, or cinnamon to keep them away. 

Proven Rodent Exclusion Techniques for Your Property

At A-Tex Pest Management, we understand the importance of not only removing rodents from your property in Austin, but also preventing them from returning in the future. That's why we offer effective rodent exclusion techniques that can help keep your home or business rodent-free.

Our experienced technicians utilize a variety of methods to exclude rodents from your Austin property, including:

• Sealing entry points: We thoroughly inspect your property to identify any potential entry points for rodents. We then seal these areas using durable materials to prevent rodents from gaining access.
• Installing rodent-proof barriers: In areas where rodents are known to enter, such as crawl spaces or attics, we can install rodent-proof barriers. These barriers are made from sturdy materials that rodents cannot chew through.
• Trimming vegetation: Overgrown vegetation can provide rodents with easy access to your property. We can trim back bushes, trees, and other vegetation that may be attracting rodents and creating potential entry points.
• Proper waste management: Rodents are attracted to food sources, so it's important to properly manage your waste. We can provide guidance on how to store food and dispose of waste in a way that deters rodents.

By implementing these rodent exclusion techniques, we can help ensure that your property in Austin remains rodent-free, giving you peace of mind and protecting your investment.
