Protecting Your Business With Rodent Exclusion Services

Keeping rodents out of your property is important for any business owner. This is especially true during cold weather; during the cooler seasons, mice and rats look for a warm, safe place to overwinter. Any human dwelling will suit them just fine; they don’t care if you’re trying to work. Unfortunately, rodents can pose a danger to human health and safety – not to mention your business’s reputation.

That’s why the team at Assured Environments uses rodent exclusion services to help you keep rodents (as well as all sorts of other pests) out of your property. Read on to learn more about these services and how they can help you keep you, your business, and your customers safe from rodent infestation.

What is Rodent Exclusion?

Rodent exclusion is as powerful as it is simple. The process involves sealing up gaps, cracks, and holes in a building’s exterior to prevent pests from getting inside. If you can prevent rodents from entering the building in the first place, you won’t have to deal with the hassle of a well-established infestation later.

Here’s how the Assured Environments team handles this process:

• Comprehensive inspection. We always start with a thorough inspection to catch any potential vulnerabilities in your structure.
• Exclusion repairs. Once we’ve made our plan, we put it into action. We repair and seal gaps in your exterior to stop rodents from getting in. These holes can be very small – rats and mice can squeeze through any hole big enough for their heads – but also include bigger-picture areas like chimneys, vents, and pipes.
• Ongoing follow-up prevention. We offer follow-up services to make sure our efforts are working. Our team can check back in at regular intervals and provide follow-up services as needed.

Each of these steps will be tailored to your business’s unique needs. Our team knows that no two businesses are alike, which is why we always treat your business based on its needs; there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.

How Mice and Rats Can Harm Your Business

There are a few ways that rodents could harm your business. Below are just a few reasons you should consider rodent exclusion services:

• Prevent diseases. Rodents can carry various diseases – both in their own bodies and in the parasites they carry. They can transfer these diseases, such as rat bite fever, salmonellosis, Hantavirus, and more, to humans.
• Property damage prevention. Rodent teeth aren’t just sturdy; they also grow constantly, meaning that rodents have to gnaw to keep them from overgrowing. They’ll gnaw on anything, from furniture to drywall to wiring, as well as any inventory you keep onsite. Paying for structural repair or inventory replacement can get expensive fast; exclusion can save you that time and money.
• Reputation protection. Nobody wants to see a rat or mouse when they’re patronizing their favorite store or meeting with a business partner. News spreads fast these days, and even a single rodent could cause rumors. Especially for food service businesses, keeping mice and rats out is absolutely vital for your reputation.
