Finding a pest control provider that explicitly foregoes rodenticides in favor of mechanical trapping and structural exclusion is a great choice, especially if you have pets, children, or care about local wildlife (preventing secondary poisoning of owls, hawks, and cats).
When searching for or vetting a company for a poison-free approach , keep these key aspects in mind:
- Exclusion-First Approach: The best non-toxic services don't just set traps; they find and seal the entry points (using steel wool, copper mesh, flashing, and cement) so new rodents can't get back in.
- Targeted Trapping: Request traditional snap traps or multi-catch live traps rather than glue boards (which are widely discouraged due to humane concerns and the risk of distressed animals shedding pathogens).
