Our Responsible Rodent Control and Exclusion Process

Our rodent control process is built on the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), focusing on a permanent solution, not just temporary reduction. This is what makes our service a true, long-term solution.

When you work with Deep Roots Pest and Wildlife Innovations, LLC’s rodent control team, here’s what you can expect:

  1. Comprehensive Inspection and Identification: We’ll conduct a meticulous inspection of both the interior and exterior of your property, paying close attention to potential rodent harborages, food sources, and travel paths. We identify areas of highest activity and potential entry points, mapping out runways, nests, and feeding sites, as well as the specific rodent species (e.g., Norway rat, roof rat, house mouse). This is crucial for selecting the most effective treatment strategies.
  2. Strategic Treatment and Implementation: We’ll use our advanced knowledge of rodent behavior and biology to create a treatment plan that’s pet-friendly, family-friendly, humane, and most importantly, highly effective. All of our solutions are highly targeted. 
  3. Exclusion and Long-Term Rodent Prevention: We provide detailed recommendations for permanent structural repairs and improvements to prevent future rodent entry. This may include structural repairs, moisture and vegetation management, and minimizing access to waste. Our approach is dynamic. We continually assess the situation and adapt our strategies based on rodent activity, environmental changes, and the long-term goal of preventing future infestations.

Common Rodents in the Portland OR & Vancouver WA Area

Our region is primarily home to three types of rodents that commonly invade homes. Each requires a different strategy:

  • House Mouse: Small, curious, and able to fit through a dime-sized hole. They reproduce quickly and typically nest in undisturbed areas like wall voids or attics.
  • Norway Rat: A larger, robust rodent that often burrows. They are commonly found in crawlspaces, basements, and sewers, and are excellent swimmers.
  • Roof Rat: Sleek and smaller than the Norway rat, this species is an agile climber. They are often found in attics, ceilings, and upper levels of homes, earning them their name.

Learn to Recognize Signs of Rodents in Your Home

Because rodents are nocturnal and fearful of humans, you are more likely to find evidence they leave behind rather than the pests themselves. If you suspect rodents in your home, here’s what you should look for:

  • Droppings: Small, dark, rice-shaped droppings for mice or larger, capsule-shaped droppings for rats, often found in pantries, drawers, and under sinks.
  • Gnaw Marks: Chewed marks on food packaging, furniture, baseboards, or electrical wires.
  • Nesting Materials: Piles of shredded paper, fabric, insulation, or plant matter in secluded corners.
  • Scurrying Noises: Scratching, squeaking, or scurrying sounds coming from inside walls or ceilings, especially at night.
  • Greasy Rub Marks: Dark smudges along walls or baseboards caused by the oils in rodents’ fur as they travel the same paths repeatedly.

How Dangerous Are Rodents in Your Home?

An infestation of mice or rats is a direct threat to your family’s health and safety. Rodents present these risks and others, and the longer the rodents remain, the greater the risks become:

  • Disease and Bacteria Spread: Rodents can transmit numerous pathogens and bacteria, such as Salmonella and Hantavirus, through their droppings, urine, and saliva. They contaminate surfaces and food, posing a serious health risk.
  • Allergy and Asthma Triggers: The dander, hair, and dried droppings from rodents can become airborne, triggering severe allergic reactions and asthma attacks, particularly in children.
  • Significant Fire Hazard: Rodents have a biological need to gnaw constantly. When they chew on electrical wiring, they can create a major fire risk inside your walls.
  • Property and Food Contamination: A single mouse can leave behind dozens of droppings per day. They contaminate far more food than they consume and can cause damage to insulation, pipes, and drywall.
