Expert Rodent Control for Your Home or Business
The last thing any home or business owner ever wants to discover is evidence of a possible rodent infestation. So, whether you’ve spotted droppings in your pantry or heard telltale scuttling in the walls, you’re not alone in feeling anxious.
Rats, mice, and many other rodent species can be incredibly invasive and destructive. They also reproduce quickly, so it doesn’t take long for even a couple of furry intruders to turn a safe, cozy home or business into a disaster zone.
At Viking Pest Control, we don’t just get rid of rodents, we get ahead of them, eliminating infestations quickly and keeping them from coming back once they’re gone. We combine years of extensive rodent control expertise with cutting-edge technology to keep property owners like you safe, happy, and healthy.
Why Proactive Rodent Control Is Important
Rats, mice, voles, groundhogs, and other rodents are a property owner’s nightmare. Not only are they quick breeders, but they’re also clever problem solvers and extremely persistent intruders. Once they manage to infiltrate your property, they quickly make themselves at home, so taking action the moment you spot the signs is crucial. Here’s why.
Health hazards
Rodents are known disease vectors capable of spreading life-threatening conditions like hantavirus, salmonella, leptospirosis, and many more. They contaminate your food and everything else they touch, as well as spread parasites like fleas and ticks.
Structural damage
A rodent’s teeth never stop growing, so they gnaw constantly to keep them filed down. Once inside a property, they’ll chew on anything and everything to accomplish this, including wires, wood framing, drywall, and insulation. This can lead to expensive future repairs and even fire hazards.
Loss of reputation
If you run a business, even a single dropping or rodent sighting can seriously damage your reputation and make customers apprehensive about returning. This makes proactive and preventative rodent control strategies especially important for business owners.
Existing rodents also tend to attract more pests over time, as they leave behind pheromone trails that other pests or predators can follow. Acting quickly can stop this cycle and prevent the problem from escalating.
How to Tell Whether You’re Dealing With a Rodent Problem
All rodents are masters when it comes to remaining hidden and keeping a low profile. However, all rodent species eventually leave clues as to their presence. Here are a few to watch out for:
- Droppings (either confirmed or suspected) in cupboards, in drawers, or along baseboards
- Scuttling or other strange noises in the walls or ceilings, especially at night
- Chew marks on wood, wiring, or food packaging
- Shredded paper or other material used for nesting
- Greasy markings or smudges on floorboards or walls
- Strange pet behavior (e.g., staring or barking at corners)
- Actual rodent sightings inside or near your property
The sooner you spot the signs, the sooner you can get an experienced rodent exterminator on the job to take care of things.
Never simply assume that there are only a couple of rodents to deal with or that they’ll leave on their own. This is unlikely to be the case, as actual rodent sightings (especially during the day) usually signal the presence of many, many more you can’t see.

How Important Is It to Call a Professional Rodent Exterminator?
Although it might be tempting to simply head to the hardware store for over-the-counter treatments and traps when you realize you’re dealing with rodents, know that these solutions rarely solve the entire problem.
Rodents are extremely adaptable and can quickly learn to avoid traps or bait. You might catch one or two, but you’re unlikely to eliminate the entire nest or prevent reinfestation later on down the line. A professional rodent exterminator is a much better way to go because they can:
- Accurately identify which rodent has invaded your property and act accordingly
- Strategically locate and target entry points, nests, and food sources
- Apply effective, environmentally responsible treatments that safely get to the root of the problem
- Take proactive measures to stop pests from returning in the future
Viking’s approach to rodent control is about long-term protection you can count on to help you safely reclaim your space.
