Commercial Rodent Elimination

Rats and mice are an indication of unsanitary conditions. Given their history of spreading disease, it's easy to see why they can repulse customers. Just one rodent sighting can easily drive clientele away for good, result in negative inspection evaluations and even shut down your business. Rodents also destroy valuable food inventory and their gnawing and burrowing can cause costly structural damage.

Rodent Facts

  • Because they often live and travel in garbage, sewers and other unsanitary areas, rodents can spread bacteria and illnesses such as Salmonella, e.Coli and dysentery. Source
  • If you can fit a pencil into a gap or hole, a mouse will be able to wiggle its way through that 1/4 inch (0.635 cm)-diameter hole as well! Source
  • Ever wonder why rodents gnaw? Because their incisors never stop growing, they need to chew and gnaw on things to keep their teeth from growing into their skull. Source
  • In 6 months, a single pair of mice can eat 4 pounds (1.80 KG) of food and contaminate 10 times that amount with urine and droppings. Also contaminating packaging and food-contact surfaces with the 18,000 droppings they produce in the 6 months. Source
