## Frequently Asked Questions
### Q: How do I know if I have rodents?
A: Key signs: dark droppings (mouse droppings are rice-sized; rat droppings are larger), gnaw marks on food packaging or wood, scratching or scurrying sounds at night, grease trails along walls where rodents repeatedly travel, and nesting material like shredded paper or insulation. A musky odor can indicate a large infestation.

### Q: How much does rodent control cost?
A: Trapping and bait stations: $200-$500 for initial service. Full exclusion (sealing entry points with rodent-proof materials): $500-$2,000 depending on home size. Attic restoration (insulation removal and replacement after infestation): $2,000-$8,000. Free inspections provide exact quotes.

### Q: What is the difference between rats and mice?
A: Rats (Norway rats, roof rats) are larger, more destructive, and can cause more structural damage. They need larger exclusion materials. Mice (house mice, deer mice) are smaller and can fit through a hole the size of a dime. Each species requires different trap types, bait strategies, and exclusion methods.

### Q: Is exclusion really necessary, or will trapping solve the problem?
A: Trapping alone is not a permanent solution — new rodents will re-enter through the same gaps. Full exclusion seals every entry point with rodent-proof materials (steel wool, hardware cloth, caulk, copper mesh). This is the only way to prevent reinfestation. Most providers offer a warranty when exclusion is completed.

### Q: Are rodents dangerous to my family?
A: Yes. Rodents carry hantavirus, leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, and salmonella. Their droppings become airborne when disturbed and can cause serious respiratory illness. They also chew electrical wiring — a leading cause of house fires. Prompt professional removal protects both health and property.

### Q: How long does rodent exclusion take?
A: A thorough exclusion of a standard home takes 1-2 days. Larger properties or severe infestations may require additional time for attic restoration. Most programs include 30-90 day monitoring to confirm the exclusion is effective before the warranty period begins.
