Rodent Control

Suppose you’re seeing droppings, hearing scratching at night, or finding gnaw marks. In that case, you need integrated rodent management: fast population knock‑down, rodent‑proofing of entry points, sanitation of contaminated areas, and ongoing monitoring. Elite Wildlife Solutions delivers a pet- and child-conscious plan that addresses the root cause and keeps rodents out.

90‑Second Self‑Check: Mice or Rats?

• •Droppings: Mice \= rice‑grain size with pointed ends; rats \= olive‑size with blunt ends.
• •Noises: Mice \= light skittering; rats \= heavier footfalls and thumps.
• •Gnaw marks: Mice chew 1/4‑inch openings; rats enlarge to 1/2 inch or more.
• •Runways: Grease rub marks along baseboards and pipes; shredded paper/insulation nests nearby.

Not sure? No problem—we identify species on site and set the right plan.

Why Georgia Homes Get Rodents

• •Seasonal pressure: Cool snaps send mice and roof rats into attics and garages.
• •Construction gaps: Weep holes, garage door gaps, utility penetrations, and soffit/roof returns create easy access.
• •Food & cover: Bird‑seed spills, open pet food, dense shrubs, and cluttered garages provide shelter and calories.

Health & Damage Snapshot

Rodents contaminate food surfaces, compress and foul insulation (lowering R‑value), and chew wiring—raising fire risk. Urine trails drive repeat activity until access and attractants are eliminated.

Our Integrated Rodent Management Plan (Georgia‑Smart)

1\) Diagnose & Map

Roof‑to‑foundation inspection, attic/crawl check, UV/flashlight scan for rub marks and droppings, and a photo map of entries and runways.

2\) Contain & Knock Down (Rapid Start)

We deploy indoor snap traps in lockable boxes out of pet/child reach. Outdoors, we use tamper‑resistant bait stations only where appropriate and label‑compliant. No loose pellets in living spaces—ever.

3\) Exclusion & Hardening (The Real Fix)

Close 1/4‑inch gaps for mice and 1/2‑inch for rats with copper/steel mesh \+ polyether sealant, metal flashing at chew edges, door sweeps, threshold seals, screened vents (1/4‑inch hardware cloth), and sealed utility penetrations.

4\) Sanitation & Odor Control

HEPA vacuum localized droppings, remove saturated nesting, apply enzyme deodorizer, and replace/ top‑up insulation where damage is severe.

5\) Monitor & Prevent

Follow‑up checks, discreet monitors at pressure points, and simple habit changes: sealed food bins, nightly pet‑food pickup, vegetation trimmed 6–8 feet from the roofline, and tidy storage off the floor.

What Not to Do (Common Mistakes)

• •Scattering poison indoors (dead‑in‑wall odors and pet risks).
• •Relying on foam only—rodents chew through it.
• •Ultrasonic gadgets—no lasting effect.
• •Leaving bird seed and pet food accessible overnight.

Materials & Methods We Trust

• •Lockable trap stations, professional‑grade snap traps.
• •Tamper‑resistant exterior bait stations when appropriate.
• •Copper/steel mesh \+ polyether sealant; metal flashing on chew edges.
• •1/4‑inch hardware cloth for vents; brush/fin door sweeps for gaps.
• •HEPA filtration and enzyme cleaners for safe, effective cleanup.

Timeline & What We Need From You

Most homes are resolved in 1–3 visits over several weeks: setup and initial knock-down, exclusion and sanitation, and follow-up monitoring. Please keep pets away from set areas, store pantry food in sealed bins, and clear access to attics/crawlspaces.

Georgia Rodent Control FAQs

Is it safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use lockable interiors and reserve exterior baits for targeted use; we don’t place loose rodenticide indoors.

Will I smell dead rodents?

Our approach favors traps inside and baits outside to minimize that risk; exclusion prevents new intruders.

How fast will results show?

Signs usually drop within days after setup; full resolution follows sealing and sanitation.

Do you clean droppings?

Yes—HEPA cleanup and enzyme treatment are part of the plan.
