What Attracts Mice and Rats?

Rodents can be a major problem for any Los Angeles home, so it’s important to understand what attracts them. Whether it’s the rat running across your kitchen floor or the mouse in your attic, both rodents are always searching for food, shelter, water, and warmth wherever they can find it. Areas that have a plentiful amount of food like garbage cans and food pantries are especially inviting to mice and rats. Cracks in windows, walls, and entryways also provide an easy access point for rodents, enabling them to enter your home with ease. Additionally, areas with good sheltering opportunities such as gardens, attics, cluttered areas, basements, garages, roofs, and sheds offer prime spots to nest.

As there are so many potential attractants and ways for rodents to enter your property, it's important to keep a watchful eye for any signs of rats or mice.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation:

Droppings or urine stains
Gnaw marks on household items, such as food packaging, boxes, baseboards, drywall, and the like
Nests or piles of nesting materials
Scratching or scurrying sounds behind walls
Musky or stale odors
Small holes in the walls or floors
Changes in pet behavior
Small dirt marks or tracks

What Sort of Damage Do Rodents Cause?

Rodents can cause a wide range of damage, from small-scale destruction to more serious infestations. Not only can rats and mice spread diseases, but they can also ruin furniture as well as cause structural damage to your home’s insulation, drywall, siding, and wiring with their chewing. Additionally, when rats or mice gnaw on electrical wires it can put your home at risk of short circuits, fires, and other electrical problems. Rodent infestations also cause more pests to often follow, bringing fleas, mites, and ticks into the home. Furthermore, rodent droppings and urine can contaminate surfaces and food sources causing illnesses and even exposing people to dangerous diseases. That’s why it is essential for homeowners to take preventative measures against rodent infestations in Los Angeles as soon as possible because even just one rodent can cause immense destruction in a short amount of time.

How to Get Rid of Rats and Mice:

Keep your home clear of any clutter
Seal off any cracks, holes, or crevices that might allow rodents to enter into the home
Store food properly
Dispose of garbage regularly
Keep trash cans closed
Clean any spills
Have any pipe leaks repaired
Invest in professional pest management solutions

How Prevalent are Rodents in Los Angeles?

Rodents flourish in densely populated cities like Los Angeles because modern city conditions are very attractive to rats and mice. Our cities produce a lot of waste and flush them down to sewer drains, and there are plenty of warm and comfortable corners inside cities where pests can easily grow in numbers.

According to a Pest bulletin distributed by County of Los Angeles – Department of Public Health Vector Management Program, although consistent efforts by the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services significantly reduce the risk of pest-borne diseases, rodents and their fleas remain a continuing threat to the health and well-being of the residents of Los Angeles County. With such a rapidly multiplying population, Los Angeles needs help, at once! That is where Kilter Termite & Pest Control can help. We're veterans in rodent control.

Have Questions?

Our Team Has The Answers.

To ensure that the treatment is being done properly, the homeowner should observe the treatment process. Unless the homeowner is chemically sensitive, there should not be any adverse health problems associated with a treatment done correctly. Ask questions of the pest control technicians. Keep track of how long it takes them to do the job.
Termites move randomly through the soil searching for a source of food (wood). They do not have the ability to know exactly where your house is. So, if your next-door neighbor treats his home for termites, your house isn’t automatically the termites’ next lunch. No, your house does not need to be treated; but, if there are active termite infestations in your neighborhood, it is a good idea to have it inspected.
The best thing you can do is to be involved and observant in the inspection process. For example if you request an inspection and the inspector doesn’t inspect obvious areas such as your garage, attic, basement, etc., then you may need to consult an additional company. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
Fumigation process normally takes 3 days and 2 nights unless there is a holiday or weekends or if special arrangements are made. Kilter’s Stay in Your Home termite treatment requires no leaving your home at all.
