What A Proper Commercial Rodent Treatment Should Look Like

We received a call from a property manager in desperate need for rodent control at one of his Fort Worth facilities. The first question we like to ask is "Do you currently have someone servicing this location?" which he responded "Yes for about a year and the problem just keeps getting worse". An appointment was set and we responded the next day expecting that one or two rats or mice were seen which caused a panic. Nobody was expecting what we were going to find.

After spending about 2 hours inspecting the exterior and interior of the building we had to give the manager some bad news. It turns out the pest control company that he was using was just sending an invoice stating he was checking all Rodent Bait Stations around the exterior and charging him accordingly. Unfortunately, this company hadn't been to the property for about six months and the Roof Rats (Rattas rattas) had now taken over the entire building.

We explained that they didn't have enough bait stations around the exterior for full control and would have to more than double the amount he was using. Also, all drop ceilings on the interior would need to be opened and glue boards and snap-traps would have to be placed and checked every three days and replaced when needed.

The leasing company agreed and decided to use Assassin Exterminating for their pest control needs. This treatment began on November 19, 2009 and was completed on December 17, 2009 with complete elimination success.

Moral of this story: You get what you pay for. Always check references when using an exterminator and make sure the pest control company has experience with treating large scale operations.

The Holidays Are Here & So Are Our Furry Friends

Rats and mice are the most common rodents, and also the most dangerous ones as far as disease carrying capacity is concerned. They live in sewers, drains, garbage dumps, and other places where the conditions are moist, and there is always a ready supply of rooting food. They are also the most unsanitary of pests -- they urinate constantly, and leave their droppings spread out all over the place. A rodent infested home is almost always susceptible to all the diseases that these rats bring with them from the sewers. If you've noticed a rat in your home or business, rest assured that there won't be just one of them for much longer -- rats multiply at an alarming rate.

No other pest comes close to the rat in terms of the havoc it can case. Famous for having caused the Bubonic Plague, rats have been responsible for other less devastating, but dangerous diseases like Leptospirosis, which causes liver and kidney malfunctions and rat bite fever which causes a bacterial infection. Besides the number of diseases that they cause, rats also destroy foods in your home, and raid pantries and closets if they can get even the slightest entryway. They are famous for boring and gnawing away at wood to create holes that can give them easy access to the interiors of your cupboards, and can gnaw at wires to cur off electrical wiring and cause short circuits.
