Starting June 15, 2026, Evict A Pest, LLC will be 100% rodenticide-free.

After a detailed decision-making process that included reviewing current research and consulting with local wildlife and bird experts, we have decided to change the way we approach rodent control.

Let us be clear: mice and rats inside a home are not acceptable, and we remain fully committed to solving those problems. However, we believe we can provide the same level of protection for our customers without relying on rodenticides that can negatively impact local wildlife.

One of the biggest concerns with rodenticides is secondary poisoning. Rodents that consume these products can then be eaten by owls, hawks, foxes, and other predators. Research has shown that these predators can be harmed through this process, reducing the populations of the very animals that naturally help keep rodent numbers in check.

For example, a single owl may consume several rodents every night. Over the course of a year, one owl family can remove thousands of rodents from the environment. By protecting these natural predators, we support a healthier ecosystem and long-term rodent control.

We also recognize the growing concern surrounding Lyme disease, and it is something I have been researching extensively. Interestingly, it may also be connected to one of the unintended consequences of rodenticide use. White-footed mice are one of the primary reservoirs for the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, and ticks can become infected after feeding on these mice. While Lyme disease is a complex issue with many contributing factors, maintaining balanced ecosystems and healthy predator populations may play an important role in limiting unchecked rodent populations.

It's important to note that white-footed mice are different from the common house mice typically found inside homes. However, the predators harmed by rodenticides do not distinguish between these species. When populations of owls, hawks, foxes, and other natural predators decline, their ability to help regulate wild rodent populations declines as well.

This decision reflects our commitment to providing effective, science-based pest management while minimizing unintended impacts on wildlife and the environment.

Moving forward, Evict A Pest will focus on exclusion, sanitation recommendations, trapping, habitat modification, and long-term prevention strategies to solve rodent problems without the use of rodenticides.

Protecting your home shouldn't come at the expense of the wildlife that helps protect our communities.

Customer was hearing activity in the soffit. Found an active entry point right at the roofline.

Ended up being a full family of grey squirrels — juveniles inside with the mom coming and going.

• Installed a one-way door so they could exit safely
• Monitored to make sure all activity stopped
• Sealed the entry point with steel to keep them out for good
• Cleaned everything up and made it look right again

This is why you don’t just patch the hole right away — you’ve gotta let them get out first or you’ll trap them inside.

Another one done the right way

This is a bat colony living in a customers attic last summer. Bats are a protected species, so removing them safely is a must but also very important, as their guano can causes many diseases and respiratory issues. For this customer, we were able to install a one-way bat valve. Once the bats exited, we then closed off the entry point and all other possible entry points. Very important to seal off all hole larger than a dime, as bats are very good at squeezing into the smallest of areas. This job ended with a happy customer and no harmed bats!

Bald-faced hornets are fascinating yet formidable insects. While they are not true hornets (they’re actually a species of wasp), they are known for their striking black and white markings and highly aggressive nature when defending their nest.

Interesting Facts:
Incredible Architects: Bald-faced hornets build large, papery nests, often in trees or bushes, using chewed wood fibers mixed with their saliva. These nests can grow up to 14 inches in diameter and 24 inches long!
Skilled Predators: They play an important ecological role by preying on flies, caterpillars, and other insects, helping to control pest populations.
Speedy Fliers: These wasps are fast and agile, capable of chasing threats away from their nests over surprisingly long distances.

Potential Dangers:
Aggressive Defenders: Bald-faced hornets are extremely territorial and will fiercely attack anyone who comes near their nest. They can sting multiple times since their stingers don’t detach.
Painful Stings: Their venom causes immediate pain, swelling, and redness. For people allergic to wasp stings, encounters can lead to severe reactions or even anaphylaxis.
Widespread Alarm Pheromones: When one hornet stings, it releases pheromones to alert the colony, potentially triggering a swarm attack.

Advice:
If you spot a bald-faced hornet nest on your property, avoid disturbing it. Call a pest control professional to safely remove it. These wasps may be beneficial in small numbers but can pose serious risks when nesting near human activity.
