Should I Be Concerned About Rodents?

In short, yes — rodents are generally unfavorable creatures to have large amounts of, especially near your family. Rodents frequent unhygienic places like trash receptacles and therefore are host to many deadly diseases and can also carry parasites, many of which can latch onto humans and pets. It is important not to handle rodents or their waste unless you are trained as each can transmit infectious disease. To properly handle rodents, call in Wildlife X Team® San Antonio for rodent removal service.

So How Do I Get Rid Of Rodents?

The most common rodents in your home are mice, rats, and squirrels. You may see them running through your kitchen or hear them darting across your attic ceiling. Rodents can attract their predators, making an even larger mess in your home. To eradicate these critters once and for all, call Wildlife X Team® San Antonio at 830.253.2810 and we'll do the hard work for you.

Wildlife X Team® Rodent Control Process

Our first step to rodent removal service is to find to find where they’re entering. This can be through holes in your siding, through a hole in your roof, through your chimney without a chimney cap, or any other small opening in your house. Mice can fit through a hole the size of a dime, so it takes a trained eye to find their entry point. When we seal these points, it prevents the rodents from escaping the traps we set. We will then place a variety of rodent traps in your home to capture and remove the animals.

  • Snap Traps: Our team will place traps made of wood and a metal bar that quickly and effectively kill rodents in your home.
  • Glue Traps: Glue traps are an effective way to trap many rodents at one time—they stick to the tacky surface and can’t go anywhere. This method allows us to trap 10 or more rodents at one time.

When trying to control the rodent problem in your home, look no further than Wildlife X Team® San Antonio’s rodent removal service.

Home Repairs

Many times, your home will have some repairs that are needed after the animals are eradicated. Rodents will chew your insulation, chew through wires and walls, and are overall quite destructive. We will also seal all the holes that the rodents were using to enter your home. We will replace any damaged wires that the rodents caused. If the rodents damaged your insulation, we can plan to either remove and replace or replace the insulation as well.

When trying to repair your home after rodents damaged it, call Wildlife X Team® San Antonio’s rodent removal service.

Fecal Decontamination

Rodents leave quite the fecal mess in your home. You could have thousands of droppings hiding in your attic. Rodent feces carry many diseases, such as Hantavirus. We use commercial disinfectant that is safe for your family and pets, but properly disinfects the area per CDC and FDA guidelines.

Chewed Materials

 Rodents have an urge to chew on anything around them, including wood, pipes, plastic insulation, and paper. This is dangerous for your home. Exposed wire can be a fire hazard, chewed insulation affects your home’s energy efficiency, and chewed wood can affect the structural integrity of your home.

When you’re dealing with rodent infestation, leave it up to the professionals at Wildlife X Team® San Antonio. We not only eradicate your home of mice, rats, squirrels, and more, but we clean up the mess they made, and secure your home so they don’t come back.
