There is nothing quite like the experience of buying a new car. Most people spend months, or even years, envisioning their dream car and eagerly anticipating the big day. When it finally arrives, with keys in your hand and the click of a button, you step into your new vehicle, ready to hit the road and embark on a new adventure. The smell of the fresh leather interiors and crisp click of the new seat belt buckle invigorates you. And just when you think no bump in the road can stop you from cruising on, you find that the displays won’t turn on, and air conditioning won’t either!
These problems often point to electrical wiring damage in the vehicle, one of several telltale signs of rodents. Rodents are particularly attracted to certain car wiring and will always chew through them.
Natural Science Exterminating offers residential and commercial rodent extermination across Orange County. We have successfully eliminated rodent infestations in multiple car dealerships across Riverside, California, preventing further spread and damage.
Signs Of A Rodent Infestation
- Droppings: Rodents excrete pellets of feces in dark, enclosed areas or around food or trash.
- Bites, tracks, scratches: Rodents leave trails and will chew through electrical wiring, paper, insulation, walls, food packaging, and plastic, among other things.
- Bad odor: Rodents leave urine to mark their territories and create scent trails for communication and navigation.
- Noise: Rats and mice activities are often heard at night as they are nocturnal.
- Holes and nests: Rodents will burrow themselves into holes around the perimeter outside or gnaw through drywall indoors. They often gather dried plants, paper, and insulation to create nests.
Removing Pests From Professional Spaces
Calling a professional exterminator will ensure the most effective treatment for getting rid of rodents. We will accurately identify the rodent species, locate entry points and nesting areas, and comprehensively assess the size and spread of the infestation to determine the most effective treatment strategy.
Our goal at Natural Science Exterminating is always 100% customer satisfaction. Our priority is to keep our clients’ car showrooms and offices pristine and free of rodents, saving their reputation and preventing headaches and also tens of thousands of dollars worth of damage to vehicle inventory. We installed over 50 bait stations across 5 dealerships and 2 parking lots to trap and kill the rats while monitoring activity over the course of several monthly visits. However, we would recommend bi-weekly pest control initially when addressing a widespread rat infestation.
The Best Rodent Removal & Control
Natural Science Exterminating doesn’t just remove rodents—we prevent them from coming back in and provide expert recommendations and advice on keeping them out. Rodents can squeeze through openings as small as 1/4th of an inch through cracks in walls, gaps around pipes, and under doors. Our exclusion work identifies and repairs entry points and modifies doorways by installing door sweeps to seal gaps.
There are a number of different ways to get rid of rats, mice, and other rodents. Our preferred methods are snap traps and rodenticide.
Snap Trap
The snap trap is a tried and true mechanism. When the rodent touches the bait, it triggers the lever to suddenly snap shut, killing the rodent instantly. There are different types of snap traps for different types of rodents; a mice snap trap is smaller than a rat snap trap to be effective. While the loud noise of a snap trap may be a concern in commercial spaces, disruption can be minimized with strategic placement. Natural Science Exterminating does not place snap traps outside as we do not want to risk harming other animals.
Pros: Snap traps are cost-effective and minimize the suffering of the animal with an instant kill. This method does not involve poisons. Food is used as bait.
Cons: Each snap trap may only be used once. Once a rodent is caught in the trap, it must be disposed of and a new snap trap must be set.
Rodenticide
Rodenticides must be set in bait stations for safety. Rodenticide blocks contain a mix of poison and food which attracts the rodents through scent. The blocks contain an anticoagulant which causes fatal internal bleeding over time once ingested.
Pros: Rodents confuse the rodenticide blocks as a food source and may become accustomed to it, ensuring higher chances of the rodents ingesting the poison.
Cons: Death is not instantaneous; rodents may still cause damage and pose health hazards in the meantime. If a poisoned rodent is not correctly disposed of, it may be consumed by another animal, leading to unintended poisoning or death.
