Animal & Rodent Control Products

The Right Products for Every Animal

Rodent control solutions generally fall into three categories. Understanding how each method works will help you build a comprehensive pest management plan.

Rodent Traps

Traps are a chemical-free method of control, making them an excellent choice for sensitive areas. They are most effective in smaller infestations or when used as a monitoring tool.

Snap Traps

The most traditional and widely-recommended method, snap traps utilize a spring-loaded bar that kills the rodent instantly upon contact. They are considered one of the most humane lethal options due to the quickness of the kill. Modern designs feature reusable, heavy-duty plastic for easy baiting and hands-free disposal.

Electronic Traps

These reusable devices offer a quick, clean solution by delivering a high-voltage electric shock. Rodents enter a secure chamber to access the bait, making the trap contained and often less visually disturbing than a snap trap.

Live Traps

For those who prefer a non-lethal solution, live traps lure the rodent into a cage or enclosure without harming it. These must be checked frequently, and captured rodents should be released at least 1–3 miles away from the capture site to prevent their return.

Glue Traps

Glue traps immobilize rodents on a sticky surface. While they are simple to place, they often result in a slow death and are considered inhumane by many pest control professionals, and the CDC does not recommend them. Use them only as a last resort or in conjunction with other methods, and check them frequently.

Rodenticide Baits

Rodenticides are poisons designed to eliminate rodents after consumption. For safety and effectiveness, bait must always be securely placed within a tamper-resistant bait station.

Anticoagulants

These are the most common type of rodenticide. They work by impeding the rodent’s blood clotting process, causing internal bleeding.

• Multi-Feed: Require the rodent to consume the bait multiple times over several days.
• Single-Feed: More potent formulations (like Brodifacoum) can be lethal after just one meal.

Non-Toxic Baits

These formulations use natural, food-grade ingredients that are designed to be safer for non-target animals (pets, wildlife) than chemical poisons. They typically kill the rodent from the inside out and carry a lower risk of secondary poisoning.

Tamper-Resistant Bait Stations

A non-negotiable part of a baiting strategy, bait stations are durable, lockable boxes that:

1. Protect Children and Pets: They prevent access to the poison by non-target animals.
2. Protect the Bait: They keep the bait fresh and dry from the elements (crucial for outdoor use).
3. Provide a Feeding Environment: They give the rodent a secure, dark place to feed.

Rodent Repellents

Repellents are a great preventative measure and are best used to deter new infestations or encourage existing rodents to leave an area before the problem is severe. They are generally ineffective against large, established populations.

Scent-Based Repellents

These products use odors that rodents naturally dislike, such as peppermint, balsam fir oil, or predator urine. They are non-toxic and safe for use indoors and in areas where pets and people frequent. They require reapplication over time as the scent dissipates.

Ultrasonic Repellers

These devices emit high-frequency sound waves that are irritating to rodents but generally inaudible to humans. Effectiveness can vary widely, as some rodents may become accustomed to the sound over time, necessitating movement or rotation of the units.
