Why Can’t I Get These Rodents Out Of My New Braunfels Home?

In New Braunfels, rodents abound. While you might not mind seeing them outside, you won’t like it when they make your way inside. Unfortunately, rodents are very dangerous, and once they’re around, they’re difficult to get rid of. Find out why it’s so hard to get mice and rats out of your residence.

They’re Able To Get In Through Small Openings

The house mouse, roof rat, and Norway rat are all common rodent pests in New Braunfels. Although they all have differences in appearance and behavior, one fact remains true: they all can be challenging to get rid of.

One reason you might struggle to get rid of rodents is their ability to enter your home through small entrances. Because of their small size, rodents don’t need a big hole to be able to enter a property. In fact, they can chew through building materials to transform a small crack into a rat or mouse doorway. You could try to catch all of the rodents in your home, but it won’t keep them from entering your home. To do that, you would need to close up all cracks, holes, and crevices in your home’s exterior.

Rodents Are Prolific Breeders

Another problem with rodents is their breeding cycle. Although the gestation period of rodents varies by species, they typically have a gestation period of around 30 days. On average, one female rodent can have about 50-60 offspring in one year. It doesn’t take long for rodents to take over to the point of no return.

One pregnant rodent in your home is all you need to have an infestation. While you might not start out with a problem, it won’t be much time before you experience health issues and property damage from a large rodent population. Because rodents are such prolific breeders, they can do more than just take over a property quickly. They can also re-establish a population quickly after you remove most of the colony. If you don’t get rid of every rodent and prevent others from coming into your home, you’ll continue to have a problem.

Rodents Are Attracted To Your Home

For centuries, rodents have depended on humans for food. This is one of the reasons that rodent infestations always require a residential pest control expert. With other pests, you can easily eliminate their food sources. But how do you eliminate rodent food sources when their food is what you eat? It’s impossible to keep everything in your pantry sealed from rats or mice, as they can chew through plastic and other materials.

While there are some things you can do to make food less available to rodents, you can’t completely eliminate it. Therefore, rodent prevention isn’t an easy task. To keep them out of your home, you need to work with someone who has experience with deterring pests.

DIY Attempts Usually Fail

In an attempt to save money, many homeowners try to eliminate rats with do-it-yourself methods. Although you might save money at first, your DIY attempt will end up doing more harm than good. Trying to get rodents out by using traps won’t work, and these pests will continue to do damage until the damage is extensive.

Reputable pest control technicians have years of experience getting rid of rodents. They have enough knowledge and experience to restore your home. Furthermore, they can make sure rodents don’t re-enter your home.
