What’s The Best Way To Get Rid Of Mice/Rats?
There are several DIY methods and exterminators in the Atlanta area you may have heard of or tried, but if you’re tired of dealing with an ongoing problem and you want to prevent larger problems, skip those steps and call Smart Solutions.
We use an array of humane and effective methods and take a holistic approach to the situation. We’re not just focused on getting these pests out of your home or business (like an exterminator would be), we’re focused on keeping them out — and that goes beyond a trap here and there.
Plus, you never know what is being used to get rid of them, and the products and methods aren’t always humane or safe for you, your family, and your pets. With Smart Solutions, you don’t have to worry about any of that.
What To Expect When You Call Smart Solutions For Your Rat/Mice Problem
When dealing with a rat or mice problem here in the greater Atlanta area, we assess the site, ask questions to ensure we have a full understanding of your exact situation, and perform a three-point inspection:
- an inspection of the attic, crawl space, or basement
- a damage assessment of the infested area
- and an entry point evaluation to identify what type of rodent is getting in, where they’re getting in, and how many there are
Once we have a complete picture of what’s going on and how big the problem is, we’ll provide you with an estimate for the trapping and removal of the rodent(s), as well as any needed repairs and cleanup. If you’re ready to move forward, we’ll get right to work.
Not only will we remove all of the rodents, but we’ll also do all of the following:
- remove any droppings
- apply antimicrobial and re-mediate/restore the attic and basement and/or crawlspace
- make any necessary repairs to your home or business (replace insulation, repair ductwork and wiring, etc.)
- and begin sealing the house or business to ensure we’re not just putting a band-aid on the problem.
Some common entry points:
- The edges of the roofline — If the roofline is an entry point in your home or business, we can seal construction gaps in the roofline with the steel drip edge to prevent re-entry.
- Open vents — We install custom vent covers on the roof, side and foundation so you don’t have to choose between pests and fungus/mold issues. We do custom on-site metal fabrication special metal bending tools and paint to match the existing home.
- Cracks and holes in the foundation/siding/masonry — Our team has over 20 years of construction experience and can make small foundation repairs, seal/repair siding, and repair masonry to keep them out in the future.
