Common Rodent Problems in Maryland

Maryland’s diverse urban and rural landscapes provide ideal habitats for various rodent species, including:

  1. House Mice: Small but prolific, these common pests can squeeze through tiny openings and reproduce rapidly.
  2. Norway Rats: Larger and more aggressive, these rats are excellent climbers and swimmers, often found in basements and sewers.
  3. Roof Rats: Agile climbers that prefer upper levels of structures, often nesting in attics and wall voids.
  4. Deer Mice: Commonly found in rural areas, these mice can carry diseases like hantavirus.

H&H Pest Control follows a thorough and effective rodent control process:

  1. Inspection: Our certified technicians conduct a detailed inspection of your property to identify rodent species, entry points, nesting areas, and the extent of the infestation.
  2. Customized Treatment Plan: Based on the inspection findings, we develop a tailored rodent control strategy that addresses your specific situation.
  3. Exclusion: We identify and seal all potential entry points to prevent rodents from re-entering your property.
  4. Trapping and Baiting: We use a combination of trapping methods and EPA-approved baits to effectively eliminate the existing rodent population.
  5. Sanitation and Decontamination: We clean and disinfect areas affected by rodents to eliminate health hazards posed by droppings, urine, and nesting materials.

Rodents pose significant health risks to humans and pets:
