Rodent Control Services

Rodents are among the worst pests affecting human households. As carriers of disease and filth, rats and mice are not only disgusting but also potentially dangerous. Unfortunately, rodents can also be difficult for homeowners and business owners to control. Kane Exterminating has been offering rodent control to Long Island since 1971.

Far from being silent pests, rodents let us know about their presence in numerous ways. Rodents commonly leave their droppings and urine all over their territory. Floors, cupboards, countertops, and electrical cords are all fair game for the excretions of these foul creatures.

Rats and mice are prolific carriers of disease and parasites that can affect humans. Hantavirus, carried by deer mice, has a 40% fatality rate. Plague, although now rare, is another dangerous illness carried by rodents. Although treatable in early stages, plague is easily fatal if it progresses.

Consumers have a few options for home rodent control, but none are ideal. Snap traps, although popular, are potentially messy and always inconvenient. Glue traps are easier to use, but wary mice may jump over them, and rats can escape them. The third home control method, poison, may eradicate rodents but cannot prevent them from stinking when they end up rotting behind a wall or in another spot where they can't be reached.
