Question 4

How do you keep rodents from coming back?

Accepted Answer

Effective rodent control combines removal with exclusion — sealing all entry points larger than 1/4 inch with steel wool, metal flashing, or concrete. We inspect your entire home for gaps around pipes, vents, doors, and utility lines. Combined with removing food sources and nesting materials, exclusion prevents future infestations.

Question 6

How long does ant treatment take to work?
