Abell's Client preparation checklist for the control of Rodents in your home
" Welcome to Abell's Client preparation checklist for the control of Rodents in your home.
The following presentation will review the necessary steps to ensure your upcoming rodent
treatment will be a success. Before we begin, please take a moment to download
the RODENT TREATMENT CLIENT PREPARATION FORM at abellpestcontrol.com/Pests, or by clicking
on the link that appears after this video. Let's begin by taking notes of the areas of
rodent activity: - Chewed holes. These may be found in garage
walls, doors, garbage bags, cans, bags of pet food or birdseed and other similar food
items around the home. - Droppings. These are usually 2 cm (¾ inch)
long. Do not remove rodent droppings before inspection. This will allow the Technician
to further determine the level of activity and population.
Please take action only in the areas of activity. Not all areas may be affected:
- In the KITCHEN & BATHROOMS. Empty only ground level cupboards and drawers of all dishes,
pots, pans, cans, food, etc. - Around the ATTIC entrance. Remove any obstacles
around or leading to the attic access door. - In the BASEMENT & CRAWLSPACE. Remove any
obstacles near or around electrical panels, furnace units & air exchange units.
- In the LAUNDRY ROOM. Remove any obstacles near or around laundry machines.
- In the GARAGE. Remove any obstacles on the ground level near or around the inside walls
(walls that are attached to the home). Also check the garage door sweep for any cracks
or entry points. The garage should be free of any vehicles before inspection.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM THE TREATMENT: - Your Technician will start by checking the
exterior and interior of your home for obvious entry points for the rodent and recommend
repair options. A single control measure may not be effective against more severe infestations
so each case is entirely unique. Your Technician may set up and implement a program using baited
mouse traps, mechanical traps and glue boards were deemed necessary. Extreme caution and
safety is exercised when implementing control measures including placing baited traps in
tamper resistant secured stations, and in areas that are as inaccessible (to people
& pets) as possible. All treatments will be made with your safety in mind to ensure your
health. AFTER THE TREATMENT:
The control program is only effective if the following steps are taken after your home
is serviced: - DO NOT move any of the stations or traps.
- DO NOT use any other rodent control products (this can work against the control measures
put in place) - Follow the Technician's recommendations
for any repairs needed to close entry points. - Remove all competing food sources (this
means keeping all pet foods in tightly sealed containers, cleaning up spills as they occur,
removing trash on a regular basis) - Your Technician will return after the extermination
has been completed to remove all baits and traps. This should be arranged prior to service.
REMINDER, it is not necessary for you or your pets to leave your home before, during or
after the treatment. Please be patient, depending on the infestation
level effective control can take a period of time.
