At Bella Exterminators, we understand that successful rodent removal starts with a comprehensive inspection. Our experienced technicians will meticulously examine your property to identify:
- Entry Points: We’ll search for any cracks, holes, or gaps in your foundation, walls, and around pipes that could be used by rodents to enter your home. This includes examining common entry points like:
- Around utility lines (pipes, cables)
- Behind appliances (stoves, refrigerators)
- Vents and dryer outlets
- Door thresholds and gaps
- Roof eaves and soffits
- Signs of Activity: We’ll be on the lookout for physical evidence of rodents, including:
- Gnaw marks on furniture, wires, or food packaging.
- Droppings (size and shape can help identify the type of rodent).
- Nesting materials like shredded paper, insulation, or fabric.
- Urine stains which can often be detected with a blacklight.
- Potential Harborage Areas: We’ll pay close attention to areas where rodents might be hiding, such as:
- Attics and crawlspaces (providing warmth and shelter).
- Basements and behind furniture (offering protection and nesting sites).
- Inside cabinets and pantries (access to food sources).

At Bella Exterminators, we offer a variety of rodent control solutions, including bait stations and rock stations, to address infestations of varying severity.

- Palatable and Effective: These stations contain rodenticides in a block form, resembling natural food sources for rodents.
- Early Intervention: By eliminating rodents outside your home, rock stations prevent them from entering and creating an infestation indoors.
- Environmentally Responsible: We prioritize eco-friendly bait options whenever possible to minimize environmental impact.
Choosing the Right Approach:
Our experienced technicians will assess your specific situation and recommend the most effective combination of bait stations, rock stations, and other control methods to completely eliminate your rodent problem.
Benefits of Professional Baiting:
