Rodent Control

Summer in Middleton should include plenty of cheese curds and plenty of brats. And, whenever I think of brats, I smile to myself knowing the National Mustard Museum is just down the road from us. It is the perfect place to find the perfect flavor combo I am shooting for. My children haven’t learned to appreciate the nuances of mustard selection – their mustard tastes are more like that of mice. Fortunately, this provides some key insight into Middleton rodent control.

A toddler will eat dirt and suck on a playground pole but won’t eat the mustard that is slightly different. This paradox appears in rodents as well. They will eat trash and junk that we don’t even consider food but are finicky as a toddler’s mustard selection when it comes to baits. Successful Middleton rodent control hinges on successful bait selection. 

Rodents get accustomed to eating certain things. They know it is safe and they know how to safely get to it. This means that whether you are using a rodenticide or baiting a trap for Middleton rodent control methods, the bait needs to be dialed in. If that mouse is feeding on chocolate bars, chocolate bars placed in the feeding range is going to be most effective. If that rat has been rooting around in your trail mix for the upcoming hike, peanut butter might be the best option. 

Rodents are efficient creatures in many ways. One of these key ways is travel. They use kinesthetic memory to memorize the pathways through danger zones to safety spots. They don’t have to see the spot, they just need to be able to run and let their whiskers (vibrissae) do their job. By making exclusion efforts a core element of Middleton rodent control, we disrupt their pathways, block them from access to key areas, and force them out of their comfort zones. All these changes enhance those control efforts. 

Middleton rodent control doesn’t need (and shouldn’t) to wait for rodent signs to pop up. Regular inspections of food storage areas, building exteriors, and monitoring stations will yield ideal results. By getting hits on rodent monitoring stations around the exterior, the control efforts can kick in before the droppings are showing up indoors. 

Mice, rats, and voles all have their place and may even seem cute when they stay there. But when they threaten our homes and businesses and well-being, it is time to set the order right again. The rodent experts at Rove Pest Control have the knowledge and experience to get this done quickly and efficiently without you having to worry a lick about it. Save your licks for the mustard and cheese!
