Safeguard Your Family’s Health from Rodent Dangers

Discovering evidence of rodents in your Libertyville home, from tell-tale droppings to the sound of scratching in the walls at night, can be incredibly unsettling. These pests not only contaminate living spaces and food but also pose a significant threat by chewing through electrical wires and destroying insulation.

Since 1948, Aerex Pest Control has provided the definitive solution to rodent infestations. Our family is dedicated to protecting your family's health and property. We use a comprehensive approach to not only remove the current problem but also to prevent rodents from ever coming back inside your home.

The Dangers Rodents Pose to Your Home and Health

A rodent infestation is far more than a simple nuisance; it's a serious threat to your property and your family's well-being. Mice and rats are not just unwelcome guests—they are destructive and carry significant health risks that every homeowner should be aware of.

These dangers are why immediate action is so critical:

  • Disease Transmission: Rodents can carry and spread dangerous pathogens. Their droppings, urine, and saliva can transmit diseases like Hantavirus, Leptospirosis, and Salmonella, posing a direct health risk through contaminated surfaces and airborne particles.
  • Severe Property Damage: Rodents have incisors that constantly grow, compelling them to gnaw on hard materials. They frequently chew on electrical wiring, which can create a serious fire hazard. They also shred insulation for nesting and tunnel through drywall.
  • Food and Surface Contamination: A single mouse can leave behind dozens of droppings per day. When rodents infest kitchens and pantries, they contaminate food packages, countertops, and utensils, creating an unsanitary environment for your family.
  • Allergen Introduction: Rodent dander, hair, and droppings can trigger allergies and asthma attacks, particularly in sensitive individuals and children, degrading the air quality within your home.

Quickly addressing a rodent problem is essential to mitigate these risks and ensure your home remains a safe, healthy environment.

Our Comprehensive Rodent Control and Exclusion Process

At Aerex Pest Control, we know that simply trapping a few rodents is not a real solution. Our comprehensive process is designed to eliminate the entire population and secure your home against future invasions. We provide a lasting solution, not just a temporary fix.

Our expert service includes these critical steps:

  • In-Depth Inspection: Our certified technician will conduct a meticulous inspection of your home's interior and exterior to identify rodent activity, locate nesting sites, and, most importantly, pinpoint all potential entry points, no matter how small.
  • Strategic Trapping and Removal: Based on the inspection, we implement a targeted trapping or baiting program. We place these devices in strategic, inaccessible locations to be effective and to ensure the safety of your children and pets.
  • Professional Exclusion Work: This is the key to a long-term solution. Our team will seal cracks, gaps, and holes that rodents use to enter your home. We use durable, professional-grade materials to secure everything from foundation vents to utility line openings.
  • Sanitation and Recommendations: After resolving the infestation, we can provide guidance on cleanup procedures for contaminated areas. We will also offer expert advice on how to make your property less attractive to rodents in the future, such as managing trash and outdoor vegetation.

We believe in doing the job right the first time. The Aerex Pest Control approach ensures that your rodent problem is not only gone but stays gone.

Why Professional Rodent Removal is Essential

When dealing with rodents, DIY methods often fall short and can prolong the infestation. Placing a few store-bought traps may catch an occasional mouse, but it rarely addresses the full extent of a colony that is hiding and rapidly reproducing within your walls or attic.

The most critical failure of DIY control is the lack of exclusion. Without professionally identifying and sealing every potential entry point, new rodents will continue to find their way inside, creating a frustrating and endless cycle of trapping. This is a task that requires a trained eye.

Furthermore, the improper use of rodenticides can pose a significant risk to non-target animals, including pets and local wildlife. Professionals are trained in the safest and most effective placement and application methods, ensuring the problem is resolved without creating unintended hazards.

  • Helpful Sting Bug Article
  • How can I prevent stink bugs in the future?

    We have put together a list of stink bug prevention tips to help you keep stink bugs out of your home.

    • Make it as difficult as possible for stink bugs to move into your home by sealing any openings in the exterior, placing covers over vents, and caps on chimneys.
    • When possible, place gardens and fruit trees as far away from the  walls of your home as possible.
    • Cut tree branches and shrubs back away from the outside walls of your home; stink bugs will use their branches to access your house.
    • Rake back leaves from your foundation and store woodpiles away from the immediate perimeter of your home. Stink bugs will hide under both.
    • Turn off outdoor lights when they aren't needed because stink bugs are attracted to light. If possible, trade out regular white outdoor lights for LED or yellow lights that are less attractive to insects.
