Atlanta Rodent Control: Mice & Rat Extermination
& Control
Rodents (such as mice, rats, chipmunks and squirrels) can enter a
home through almost any opening or crack. It is important to
inspect for mouse or other rodent droppings, especially in
undisturbed areas such as pantries, under baseboards, in attics and
along walls. Rodent droppings most often cause allergic reactions
in human beings but can also cause disease, including the
potentially deadly Hantavirus. More frequently, though, rodents
serve as vectors, carrying bacteria, such as salmonella, on their
bodies and contaminating food sources, kitchen surfaces and
equipment. Arrow's trained Atlanta rat & rodent
control professionals can offer the expertise and knowledge
of rodent extermination to best protect your health and rid
your home of a rodent infestation.
Atlanta Pigeon & Bird Control
Pigeons are filthy birds and carry many other pests on them, such
as fleas, ticks and mites, which pose their own health dangers to
the public, including lyme disease. Pigeons themselves are known to
carry several diseases and can contaminate food, causing salmonella
poisoning. Arrow's trained pigeon and bird control specialists in
Atlanta have the expertise and equipment necessary to rid your
property of these creatures. Our Atlanta bird control
specialists can not only safely eliminate the pigeons but can
also help determine where and why these animals are infiltrating
your property and how to eliminate the conducive conditions to
prevent future problems.

Prevention Tips:
There are a number of pest-proofing measures that homeowners can
take to protect their home and families from the threats posed by
rodents and birds. Arrow's Atlanta rodent and bird control
specialists recommend the following:
Mice, Rodent & Rat Control Prevention Tips:
-
Store boxes and containers off the floor and organize items often
to prevent rodents from residing in undisturbed areas.
-
Seal cracks and holes, including areas where utilities and pipes
enter the home.
-
Store food in thick metal or plastic containers with tight
lids.
-
Clean up spilled food right away immediately and wash dishes and
cooking utensils soon after use.
-
Keep outside cooking areas and grills clean.
-
Do not leave pet food or water bowls out overnight.
-
Keep bird feeders away from the house and use squirrel guards to
limit access to the feeder by squirrels and other rodents.
-
Use a thick plastic or metal garbage can with a tight lid and keep
sealed at all times.
-
Keep grains and animal feed in thick plastic or metal containers
with tight lids. In the evening, return uneaten animal feed to
containers with lids.
If you find rodent feces, hear sounds of scurrying in the walls or
observe other signs of a rodent infestation, contact one of Arrow's
licensed rodent control specialists in Atlanta Georgia to inspect
and treat the pest problem.
Bird Control Prevention Tips:
-
Make sure to clean up food spills promptly and keep trashcans
covered. By denying birds and pigeons of a continuous food source,
they will seek shelter elsewhere.
-
Seal or cover vents and gutters to deter birds.
-
Screen off potential nesting areas such as eaves and
rooflines.
