We Stop Entry of Rats and Mice!

Cleanup – Decontaminate – Insulate from Rodent Infestations!

Rats and mice transmit serious diseases and disease-carrying parasites (fleas, flies, lice, ticks and mites) into your home or business. One pair of mice can produce 200 offspring in four months!

Each mouse can contaminate ten times more food than it eats. Rats are instinctively wary of traps and bait. Rats and mice nest in attics, burrows, in wall voids, sub-areas and other hard to reach places.

Rodents invade your home or business seeking food, water and safe shelter from rodent predators. Rodents’ keen instincts make them difficult to control, and they present a serious menace to your home or business.

Our service representatives not only fix the rat and mice problem, they educate customers on the process of eliminating and preventing rats from coming into your home.

A Happy Customer!

Several years I was very unhappy with my old service, and I couldn’t ask for more with the service I get from Hearts!! The BEST!!!

Here is a letter from one of our customers:

Case Evidence from Rat and Mouse Infestations

Rat and Mouse Control starts with inspection. See for yourself. We provide extensive services to thoroughly clean and decontaminate from rat, mice, (and additionally from bird) infestations.

See our webpage devoted to decontamination and restoration. Long after rat and mouse infestation is gone, the contamination they leave can cause immense human health problems.

Rats damage property by gnawing at wood, lead and soft metals, electrical wiring, water pipes, and drainage systems. Exposed electrical wiring is a serious fire hazard.

Rats and mice spread a wide variety of diseases around the home by their fur, feet, urine or droppings.

Rats are very adaptable, establishing themselves wherever there is a supply of food and secure, safe hiding places. After removing insulation, it is easy to detect the access point where rats enter the attic from under the eave.

The main diseases of concern are food poisoning diseases such as salmonella.

We remove snails in and around your house to reduce rat food sources.

Rats damage wood cabinets – contaminate food supply.

What’s Wrong with Do-It-Yourself and “The Other Company’s” Rodent Control Service?

A pest control service is not hard to find. But a true solution provider for rat and mice infestations that will solve the rodent problem is invaluable.

Do-It-Yourself homeowner solutions for Rats and Mice, as well as many pest control companies, actually make these rat and mouse problems worse.

Package baiting in the attic is dead wrong. This kills rats and mice, but leaves dead rodents to decay and contaminate your home.

Rats and mice are climbers that look for safety from fires and predators by nesting in attic space and other hidden areas of your home or business, near a food source but safely tucked away from those who might kill them.

Many a pest control company will look for one and only one access point for rodent entry. These pests are smarter than that. They will develop several entry and escape routes. You are not alone. Rat and mice problems happen even in the best communities.

Southern California landscapes are very hospitable to rats and mice. These rodents live in the vast open space surrounding our homes and businesses.

Hoarding and Pest Control

While many homes throughout Southern California have problems with rats, mice, birds and their associated parasites, a portion of these homes have pest control problems that originate with excess storage of old items. When this becomes an dominant and excessive characteristic, we now call this hoarding. Look no further for a pest control managed hoarding solution.
