Rodent Control Services in Ohio and Kentucky
Rats, mice, and other rodents are known to be dirty and nasty but are also very clever about getting into your spaces. Ugh! The scuttling, scurrying, gnawing critters are a problem just about everywhere but especially in city, suburb, and rural areas throughout Ohio. You can be confident that the local rodent populations are thriving wherever you may live. The goal is to keep them well away from your home, right? But times of scarce food or uncomfortable weather changes have rats and mice looking to move in but have no fear because Mosquito Joe of Harrison-Florence is here to help alleviate the rodent issue you may be experiencing in and around your home.
Heavy rain, severe drought, winter chill, and summer heat can cause hungry rats and other rodents to seek food and shelter in our barns, sheds, roofs, garages, attics, basements, and homes. The best rodent control service is to keep them from entering your premises while working to reduce their population.
Steps to Stopping a Rodent Infestation
Rats and mice are attracted to the food, water, and the shelter we enjoy. So, the key to effective rodent control is blocking access to these necessities completely. You can take steps to make your home less appealing to rodents and harder to access. Start at the heart of your home, and work outwards:
- Always clean up spilled food and water in the kitchen. Store all food in air-tight containers.
- Keep kitchen garbage in containers with tight-fitting lids.
- Pick up pet food dishes and water when not actively in use.
- Patch and repair any holes, however small, in walls between rooms, between the garage and the attic, or leading outdoors. Pay particular attention to the back of cupboards and closets, vents, and around window casings.
- Inspect all vents, especially along the roof, to be sure the vent covers fit properly and are in good repair.
- Stop feeding wild birds. Spilled seed attracts and feeds rats and mice.
- When adding food scraps to the compost, always turn the compost to cover any food scraps fully.
- Prune any branches that overhang your roof, or that grow close to the roof.
- Pick up fallen fruit or vegetables in the garden.
- Keep the grass mowed short, trim shrubs, and remove leaf litter and clutter that can provide shelter.
- Hire a professional pest control company, like Mosquito Joe of Harrison-Florence to examine your property and curtail the rodent population.
Remember, rodents are plentiful, smart, and driven to survive. Any effective rodent control program will require vigilance on your part to help keep your spaces secure from rats and mice.

Rats and mice can cause structural damage. They can also carry fleas, ticks, allergens, and disease pathogens. Deceased rodents can also present a hazard to your family. As a rat dies and decays, the fleas, pathogens — and smells — live on. And the dead body further attracts other insects. Rat traps, too, present their own risks.

Our rodent control solutions are made of natural ingredients and are environmentally friendly.
