Ultrasonic Rodent Pest Control

Looking for rodent pest control information? The most common rodents are mice and rats, which can enter your house through holes as small as one-quarter to one-half an inch, breed prolifically and forage for food in out-of-the-way and all-too-public parts of the house. Prevention is a vital part of rodent pest control, but once a colony is established, stronger measures are required.

There are several kinds of common rats, including roof rats, sewer rats, house rats and wharf rats. The most ubiquitous is the Norway rat, indigenous to Asia, but now spread all over the world. Rats are highly adaptable; they like fresh food but can exist on nearly anything, and rat populations have been known to adjust even to the effects of rodenticides.

Like rats, mice may be noticed first by their sign; droppings, house fixtures that have been chewed, tracks, and partially-eaten food items indicate the presence of rodents. As well as destroying property and contaminating foods, rats and mice carry disease. The historical response to rodent infestation has been to poison them: the 21st century brings something new in rodent pest control.

Ultrasonic and electromagnetic devices rid your house of rodents without toxins or traps. The high-frequency sound is inaudible to human beings and domestic pets, but unbearable to rodents and insects. Electromagnetic rodent pest control devices also use ultrasonics, but run the signal through the house wiring, which prevents rodents from "hiding" from the sonic irritant. Sonic technology makes rodents and insects so uncomfortable that they cannot resist: soon your house is pest-free.
