Mice and rats can quickly become a serious nuisance, invading your home or business and causing damage to your property. These rodents aren’t just a threat to your property but also to your health. Mice and rats can spread diseases, contaminate food, and cause damage to wiring and insulation.

With years of industry experience, Bug Squashers uses state-of-the-art products and a comprehensive approach to ensure that your pest problem is solved for good.

Why Mice and Rats Are a Problem

Mice and rats are more than just a bother. These pests can bring a range of problems to homes and businesses, including:

1. Health Hazards – Mice and rats are known carriers of a variety of diseases, including salmonella, hantavirus, and leptospirosis. Their droppings, urine, and saliva can contaminate surfaces and food.
2. Property Damage – Rodents chew on wires, insulation, and even furniture, causing expensive damage. Their nesting materials can clog ventilation systems and pipes, leading to costly repairs.
3. Contamination – These rodents are notorious for contaminating food supplies by leaving droppings and urine in pantries or other food storage areas.
4. Reproduction – A single pair of mice can lead to an infestation, as they can reproduce rapidly. A small issue can quickly escalate into a full-blown problem if not addressed promptly.

If you notice signs of mice or rats in your Maryland home or business, it’s crucial to take immediate action. Bug Squashers of Maryland can help prevent further damage, protect your health, and restore peace of mind.

The Bug Squashers Approach to Mice & Rat Control

At Bug Squashers, we don’t just eliminate mice and rats—we provide long-term solutions that ensure these pests stay out for good. Our pest control approach is designed to be thorough, effective, and safe for your family or employees. Here’s how we handle the issue step-by-step:

1. Inspection: Identifying the Problem

The first step in treating a rodent infestation is a comprehensive inspection. Our experienced technicians thoroughly inspect your property to identify signs of rodent activity. This includes looking for:

• Access points where rodents are entering your home or building, such as cracks, holes, or vents.
• Droppings left behind by the rodents, which can indicate the extent of the infestation.
• Nests and feeding areas where rodents are storing food or bedding down for the night.

This inspection allows us to understand the scope of the problem and create a custom plan for eliminating the pests.

2. Sanitation: Cleaning the Area

Next, we focus on sanitation. Mice and rats leave behind droppings, urine, and nesting materials that can further contaminate your property. Our team will work to clean the areas affected by rodents to minimize health risks. This step ensures that we eliminate the pests and any potential contamination they’ve caused.

3. Exclusion: Sealing Entry Points

Prevention is key. Once the pests have been removed, it’s crucial to seal up any gaps or holes that allow access to your home or business. Rodents can squeeze through remarkably small spaces, so our technicians will carefully check all potential entry points, including vents, gaps around windows and doors, and areas around pipes. We then seal these openings to prevent future invasions.

4. Baiting and Trapping: Eradicating the Infestation

In the final step, we focus on eradicating any remaining rodents. Depending on the severity of the infestation, we use a combination of baiting and trapping to ensure the rodents are eliminated. We place First Strike Soft Bait in strategic locations around your property to attract and kill rodents, and we also set up Catchmaster Glue Boards in high-traffic areas where rodents are most likely to travel. These products are highly effective at trapping or killing mice and rats without posing risks to pets or people.
