Rodent Control

Rodents – particularly mice and rats – are one of the most common problematic pests. These unwanted creatures live wherever humans live, especially in urban areas. Mice and rats have acute hearing, are sensitive to ultrasound, and have a highly developed sense of smell. Designed to attack these very senses, Bird-X rodent control products are scientifically proven effective* in keeping mice and rats away from treated areas.

How to get rid of rodents:

Because rodents are sensitive to ultrasound and often communicate using high-frequency transmissions, Bird-X ultrasonic products are an excellent way to repel mice and rats on your property. Both the Transonic PRO and the Transonic Bugchaser are effective indoor solutions. To get rid of rodents in small outdoor spaces – backyards, patios, gardens, etc. – we recommend the Yard Gard device.

Another option for outdoor rodent control is Nature’s Defense Mouse and Rat Repellent. These 100% organic repellent granules can be sprinkled along foundations, basement windows, patio and garden perimeters, etc. to create an irritant scent barrier that deters pesky rodent intruders.

Health risks associated with rodents:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Worldwide, rats and mice spread over 35 diseases. These diseases can be spread to humans directly, through handling of rodents, through contact with rodent feces, urine, or saliva, or through rodent bites. Diseases carried by rodents can also be spread to humans indirectly through ticks, mites or fleas that have fed on an infected rodent.

A few of the diseases rodents are known to carry and transmit to humans include:
