Fighting Rodents is full time job.

You see the brown fur scamper under the kitchen counter, you scream and grab the nearest broom. After chasing your uninvited guest around the house you call a pest control expert to come in and rid you of your new rodent roomies.

Problem solved right??

Perhaps not. Pest control is an ongoing endeavor especially for rodents. For every one rat or mouse you see, there could actually be 10 or more running around your home. And just because you trapped or killed all the ones in your home now, doesn't mean there won't be more stopping by to look for a free meal in a few weeks.

A professional pest control company will do far more then lay out traps or spray pesticides to take care of these furry invaders. A rat or a mouse can find ways into your house the size of a quarter and to truly protect yourself your pest pro will block these entrances.

But the problem is that houses can settle, creating new avenues for your new furry friends to come to dinner. Not to mention the rats and mice can find every single hole or crack that might lead to the 5 star comfort of your attic while it is much more difficult for you or your pest control expert to find every entrance.

The key is to be constantly vigil. Have a pest pro come out to your house every couple of months just to check on things, lay out new traps and hunt down any new access points the rodents may have found.

While rats and mice have always been seen as disgusting housemates for centuries, for those of us living in the Southwest they can pose a serious health risk in the form of the deadly Hanta Virus.

If you think you are infested with rodents call AAA today for an inspection. Fighting rats and mice is an ongoing battle and the pest professionals are the front line soldiers that can keep you and your family safe and happy.
