Rodent Control, Pest Control Go Hand-in-Hand

Why Outdoor Pest and Rodent Control in St. Charles Complement Each Other, Mosquito Squad Explains

Perhaps when most of us think about outdoor pest control, we picture the usual suspects – mosquitoes, ticks, spiders, or ants. But there is another concern lurking outside our homes and businesses in St. Charles and West St. Louis County – rodents.

Rodents, Hidden Saint Louis Area Pest Enablers

Rodents aren’t just a nuisance; they’re St. Louis insect enablers. Rats and mice are infamous for contaminating food, gnawing on wires, and tearing out our home’s insulation. But they are also very often a personal shuttle service for outdoor pests and insects! So, even if you don’t see the rodent, you might experience the resulting pest infestation from their presence.

Rodents can carry fleas and ticks on their bodies, introducing them into your yard, and eventually, your home. Their nesting materials and droppings attract other pests, like cockroaches and flies. Damage to walls and floors can provide access for pests to get inside our homes.

If you are addressing outdoor pest issues with Mosquito Squad of West St. Louis County, good on you! But if you’re only addressing insects, ignoring potential signs of rodent activity, you could be leaving the door wide open for pests to return. It’s like bailing water from a damaged boat.

Shared Entry Points, Shared Solutions

Outdoor pests and rodents often use the same entry points to get indoors. Foundation cracks, gaps around windows or doors, damaged ductwork, and other areas invite these pests inside. Mosquito Squad of West St. Louis County offers integrated pest strategies to quell insect and rodent activity. What’s more, we never just treat and leave. Our rodent and pest control technicians help clients identify underlying vulnerabilities and explain how having these weak spots corrected can disinvite bug and rodent invasions.

The More, the Medically-er

Rats and mice are not just creepy critters; they can also be dangerous to our health. Diseases like hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella are a few illnesses they could transmit to you or a family member – including pets. Add to that the potential illnesses caused by fleas, ticks, and other rodent-enabled invaders, and you have a double-triple-quadruple threat!
