Rodents, from small house mice to larger rats, need food, water and shelter and can enter through surprisingly small openings. Effective control therefore includes environmental inspection, not bait alone.
Signs of an infestation
Small droppings in cabinets or corners
Nighttime movement sounds
Gnaw marks on wires or wood
Repeated odors or travel paths
Burrows near drains, foundations or waste piles (a sign of rats)
Why it matters
Rodents can damage materials and wiring, contaminate areas and reproduce quickly when conditions are favorable.
How Hero approaches control
We inspect entry points, food and water sources and activity zones, then create a control plan that also reduces re-entry.
Prevention tips
Seal openings
Store food and waste securely
Remove unnecessary water sources
Reduce hiding areas
Frequently asked questions
Is bait alone enough?
Not always. Entry points and food sources may need to be addressed as part of the control plan.
What is the difference between mice and rats?
Rats are larger and dig burrows, while house mice are smaller and can squeeze through very narrow gaps. Each needs a suitable method, and we identify the type during inspection.
Are the baits safe for children and pets?
Baits are placed inside secured stations away from children and animals, and we show you where they are after the visit.
