What happens during a rodent inspection?

Are you worried that you might have a rodent problem at your business? Rodents can contaminate your goods, damage your property, spread disease, and make your clients question the cleanliness of your workspace. There are several steps a Pest Control Technician can take to help keep your business free from rodents.

At Flick Pest Control, we take a comprehensive approach to pest control. Our SMART system combines blind spot detection, 24/7 monitoring, and a non-toxic but effective extermination system. This means that we do not just focus on getting rid of the rodents that you can see, but also preventing reinfestation. Our process includes a pest inspection, blocking access, making sure that you are taking steps to keep from attracting rodents, extermination or trapping, and ongoing inspections of pest control equipment and the premises.

It all starts with an inspection. In a rodent inspection, we will look for common signs of rodent infestation. These signs include droppings, urine, chew marks, and nesting materials. In addition to looking for signs of rodents, we will also look for things related to rodent infestation, such as entry and exit points or things that might attract rodents like available food and water.

If the inspection reveals places where rodents can get into your building, the next step is blocking access. We can provide comprehensive exclusion services, or we can advise you on how to exclude them. We look for cracks, crevices, and holes. They need to be blocked with metal, concrete, or other chew-resistant materials. Even small holes can allow rodent access, so we will make sure and block anything the size of a pencil eraser or larger.

If we notice that your business is attractive to rodents, we will give you advice on how to make your business less attractive to rodents. This includes tips on sanitation, keeping food properly contained, and proper waste disposal.

If we have discovered rodents in your building, it is important to get rid of them. The extermination approach we take depends on the extent of the infestation, the type of business you have, and the construction of your building. We will devise the appropriate combination of baits and traps to remove the rodent from your building.

Finally, it is important to think of pest control as an ongoing process, this is where our SMART systems works best to continually monitor your premises to avoid an infestation from happening. Call Flick on 1300 270 019 for discuss your business needs.
