Got a pest issue?
Trust the experts at Truly Nolen. We have several services that can protect your home from what bugs you.
The Four Seasons Pest Control Approach
At Truly Nolen, we offer a Four Seasons program that provides an effective strategy designed to address the changes in pest behaviour from season to season, so we can prevent them from getting into your home all year round. As part of the Four Seasons program, our Truly-Trained technicians will start by thoroughly inspecting your property for potential entry points and nesting spots. We then create a customized pest control plan that considers the specific needs of your home and the life cycles of the pests in question.
Our course of action typically involves rodent proofing (exclusion), population reduction (trapping), and sanitation measures.
Exclusion
Many Canadian homeowners are surprised to learn that rodents can squeeze into their homes through holes that appear to be much too small for them. Mice, for example, can enter a home through a hole as small as a dime, and rats can enter through a hole as small as a quarter. The reality is that rodents are experts at exploiting small gaps and cracks in order to gain access to food and shelter.
To prevent rodent invasions, our technicians will seal up any openings around your home, no matter how small they seem. By excluding rodents from your home and effectively removing any places they have to find shelter, rest, hide, forage, or build nests, rodents cannot survive in large numbers.
Traps
Once all entry points are sealed during the exclusion phase, our technicians will take immediate action to begin reducing the population. This could involve setting traps or using baits. However, it is important to be patient as it may take a few days or weeks for the results to be visible. Rats are very suspicious of anything new in their environment and will avoid a freshly placed trap. But with time and patience, our technicians can get rid of these pests for good.
Your Truly Nolen Canada professional technician will routinely check and promptly remove the rodents as they are trapped. We can ensure rodents are disposed of properly and avoid unpleasant odors for you or your family to endure. Your safety is our priority!
Vector Control
Truly, Nolen Canada’s pest control treatments are thorough, including eradicating vectors that commonly live with rodents, such as fleas, roaches, mites, and ticks. These feasting insects not only use the rodent as a host but can also transmit disease. In addition to posing a threat to your family’s health, these pests can also cause damage to your home and property. Truly Nolen Canada’s pest control technicians are trained to identify and eliminate these vectors, giving you peace of mind and protecting your family from potential harm.
Hazards Rodents Can Cause if they Enter your Home
House Fires: Most people are familiar with rodents’ damage to property, but many don’t know that their incessant gnawing is a major fire hazard. When rodents gnaw on electrical wiring, they create a conductive path that can lead to shorts and sparks. This gnawing behaviour is one of the leading causes of house fires, causing millions of dollars in damage each year. By regularly inspecting your wiring for damage and having any damaged areas repaired or replaced immediately, you can help protect your home from the risk of a rodent-related fire.
Rat Bites: A rodent infestation can seriously threaten your family’s health and safety. Not only do rodents chew through wiring and insulation, but they also bite. Small children and infants are particularly vulnerable to rodent bites, which can cause infections and diseases like strep bacteria. In fact, infants have lost toes and even died as a result of rat bites. As a result, it is important to take steps to prevent rodent infestations in your home, such as sealing up any holes or cracks where they might enter and keeping food sealed and stored correctly. Taking these precautions can help keep your family safe from the dangers of rodent bites.
Airborne Transmission: Rodent feces can be reservoirs of various dangerous diseases and viruses. These dry droppings can break apart upon contact and release airborne particles that may enter your nasal passages and cause serious infection. Some diseases that rodents can transmit include hantavirus, leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, and Salmonella. Inhaling dust from rodent droppings can also cause a condition called “micro pulmonary hemorrhage.” This is when small blood vessels in the lungs rupture and bleed. To reduce the risk of exposure to these diseases, cleaning up any rodent droppings as soon as possible is important. When cleaning, wear gloves and a mask to avoid inhaling any dust. It is also important to disinfect the area afterwards to kill any remaining bacteria or viruses. By taking the necessary precautions, you can help to protect yourself and others from these dangers.
