Rodent Control

St. Petersburg Rodent Control Services

Rodents, like mice and rats, can find their way into homes and businesses and present a risk to your property, health, and peace of mind. Geiger's Pest Services was founded in 2000, with the goal of providing dependable and effective solutions for both residential and commercial property owners. The rodent control team at our St. Petersburg office understands the behavior of these pests, and we have developed strategies to control and remove them from your premises.

Identifying the Warning Signs of Rodent Infestation

Here are some signs that you may have a rodent infestation:

  • Droppings: If you discover small, dark droppings in areas where food is stored, such as kitchens and pantries, it's likely that rodents have invaded your property. 
  • Gnaw marks: Rodents possess strong teeth capable of gnawing through almost anything, from food packages to furniture and wires. 
  • Noises in the night: Rodents are nocturnal creatures and tend to be most active at night. If you hear scratching or scampering sounds in your walls or ceilings during these hours, it could be a sign of a rodent presence. These noises are often more noticeable when the house is quiet.
  • Nests: Rodents construct their nests from shredded material, such as paper, fabric, or plant matter. If you stumble upon these nests in secluded areas, like behind appliances or in attic spaces, rodents may have established a breeding site within your home.
  • Odor: A potent, musty odor might indicate a large rodent infestation. This smell is often likened to the scent of ammonia or urine and can become quite overwhelming if the infestation is severe. 

Understanding the Risks of Rodent Infestations

A rodent infestation isn't just a nuisance. It presents risks like these: 

  • Property damage: The ability of rodents to gnaw can lead to significant damage. The cost of repairs can be substantial and is not always covered by insurance. 
  • Food contamination: When rodents contaminate food and preparation areas with their droppings and urine, this not only spoils the food but also poses serious health risks if the contaminated food is eaten.
  • Stress and anxiety: Dealing with an infestation can be emotionally draining, and the knowledge that rodents are living in your space can create feelings of discomfort and unease. For businesses, infestations can harm your brand image in the community. 

Our Comprehensive Rodent Control Process

At Geiger’s Pest Services, our approach to Rodent Control is by Exclusion and Trapping. Exclusion is the key. Simply put, our objective is to exclude rodents from getting into your property in the first place. That starts with sealing up entry points, and it includes trapping and removing rodents for 30 days after the Exclusion is complete.

Additional solutions include removing the soiled insulation material and disinfecting the area(s) where rodents were inhabiting. After which, Geiger‘s Pest Services can install new insulation material where the contaminated insulation was removed. We offer T.A.P. insulation as our insulation product.   

T.A.P. is a special insulation infused with Orthoboric Acid. It is labeled and registered as a pest preventative for the following insects, Cockroaches, Termites (including Formosan Termites), Ants, Silverfish, Earwigs, Crickets, Sow bugs, Darkling Beetles, Millipedes, Centipedes, Booklice, Firebrats, Dermestids, Lady Beetles, Boxelder Bugs, Stink bugs, Kudzu Bugs, Bat Bugs, Pill Bugs, Snails, and slugs. Not only will you improve your heating and cooling costs, you will also have the added benefit of Pest Prevention.

Furthermore, insulation upgrades may qualify for tax credits from the federal government and rebates from your energy supplier.  To qualify for these benefits, you must first have an energy audit performed on your home by your energy supplier. (Duke Energy, Tampa Electric, etc.) Their representative will give you a list of improvements that you may perform to receive these benefits. Call us for more details or check out your energy supplier’s website for more information.

    "Would 100% recommend and will use for future use."
    Excellent service. We called and booked over the phone. Derek came out later that week. Was very polite, wore a face mask, took off his shoes and was super sweet to our excited pup. He quickly assessed the problem and gave us a solution immediately.
    Jess G.
    "Very professional and honest. Second and third opinions are a wonderful thing!"
    Derek came and inspected and educated me on how termites fly and what to look for. He even had a few videos on his phone he took personally to show me what to be concerned for when a swarm occurs.
    John H.

    We used Geiger's Pest Services for an Inspection on a home we were looking into purchasing, they were very friendly and professional over the phone. Derek, our inspector, had great communication and saved us some headaches during our home buying process.

    Great company. I have used Geiger's Pest Services twice. First, for a dry wood termite tenting, and more recently, for a subterranean preventive treatment.
    Jeff K.
    "Their staff was mindful, considerate and professional during both treatments, and they really got the job done."
    Had to get termite treatment for our old wood frame house and found Geiger's Pest Services. They were punctual, and great with communicating with me what needed to be done, and scheduled separate subterranean and dry wood termite treatments.

    "We highly recommend them!!!"
    We had 2 other companies that just couldn't seem to get rid of the German roaches in the garage and their service was poor and quite slow to respond when needed.
    Richard S.
    "I would definitely recommend this company!"
    Geiger was recommended, and I immediately liked not only the cost (a fraction of what the other companies quoted) but also their employees. Jamea in their office is outstanding and is always available if you have questions. Derek was the inspector who made
