Preventing Future Infestations
After we remove mice or rats from your property, keeping your space protected requires ongoing vigilance. Our team will provide practical strategies to maintain a rodent-free home or business.
Many properties across Tompkins County encounter elevated rodent activity in the fall, when temperatures drop and rodents migrate indoors. Older homes and historic structures in Ithaca often have concealed gaps or entry points, making professional inspection critical. We recommend examining foundation cracks, attic vents, and basements for hidden vulnerabilities. Our team delivers actionable recommendations, built on years of experience with rodent behavior in the area.
Some preventive measures include:
- Sealing cracks and holes in your property to prevent mice from entering
- Keeping food stored in airtight containers to avoid attracting rodents
- Regularly cleaning and decluttering your space to eliminate potential nesting areas for mice
- Installing rodent-proofing materials such as wire mesh and door sweeps
By following these proactive steps, you reduce the chances of recurring issues and maintain a pest-free environment. Contact Wildlife Resolutions to learn more about prevention measures and keep your property protected.
Rodents Can Endanger Humans & Pets
Rodents demonstrate advanced problem-solving skills, and their behavior patterns are more complex than those of insect pests. They adapt quickly, learning to overcome obstacles and evade outdated control measures. Because of this adaptability, many standard pest control methods do not work for rodent infestations.
Local rodent behavior in Ithaca requires tailored approaches. Rats and mice often explore kitchens, basements, and storage spaces, seeking warmth in multi-unit or historic buildings. Ithaca’s changing weather—from humid summers to harsh winters—encourages rodents to shelter indoors throughout the year. We track these movement patterns so our removal and prevention plans reach the source of rodent activity.
Mice and rats typically enter properties in search of safe places to nest and raise their young. Exposed food or trash can attract rodents, making your building appealing to a colony. Common points of entry include vents, open windows and doors, or gaps around appliances.
Rodents can cause physical damage to your home or commercial property, but can also spread dangerous diseases or aggravate some health conditions, such as:
- Hantavirus
- Bubonic plague
- Asthma
- Allergies
This list is not exhaustive—rats and mice can transmit additional diseases that harm both people and pets. For safety, avoid attempting to remove it yourself. We have the right equipment and training to remove rodents safely and efficiently.
