Urban Rodentology

Urban rodentology is the study of rodents in urban environments, focusing on their biology, behavior, and management. It is essential for effective pest control in cities where rodents like rats and mice thrive due to abundant food and shelter.

Urban rodentology is a sub-discipline of rodentology. Urban rodentology focuses not only on the biology and behavior of the rodent species most commonly associated within and impacting cities and towns, but also addresses scientific approaches for their management.

Working with urban rodents requires keen knowledge in other trades and also the possession of other skill sets to combat intelligent rodents. Urban rodentology is indeed a science, however it relies on people that are trained and competent with the skills of a craftsman.

Our Rodentology Management Strategy

These are the strategies we use to manage urban rodent populations, sustainably:

Monitoring and Assessment

Regular inspections for signs of rodent activity (droppings, gnaw marks).

Structural Exclusion

Seal entry points, such as cracks and gaps, to prevent rodent access.

Sanitation & Habitat Modification

Maintain clean environments by securing food waste and using rodent-proof containers. Remove clutter and overgrown vegetation that provide shelter for rodents.

Mechanical Control

Use traps strategically in high-activity areas for effective control.

Our Approach

Rodents are smart and can adapt to any environment. They have the ability to memorize and mark various routes, pipes and chases to move throughout homes and buildings. They always choose the safest and fastest routes between their nest and food.

At MyRodentGuy!, we are trained to see what others overlook. We use urban rodentology in eliminating rodents by being a great inspector with keen observational skills. We determine where to put the baits and traps prior to setting the baits and traps.

Our team at MyRodentGuy! understand the science of urban rodentology and have the acquired skills to apply the appropriate technics for any project. We combine our knowledge of homes and office buildings with the science of urban rodentology to successfully control rodent populations.

Trust the science, believe in us!

You need a rodent technician that is skilled in assessing various types of buildings. We approach each project from an Urban Rodentology perspective. Let us help you control your rodent problem.
