What do rodents look like?
Rodents are warm-blooded mammals that, like humans, can be found throughout the world. They have oversized front teeth for gnawing and check teeth, which are adapted for chewing. They chew on a variety of items available to them and cause great damage in and around homes.

The specialized approach for rodent treatment ensures your pest problem doesn’t stand a chance.
