Rodents are a common problem in homes and businesses across Nevada. They can cause significant damage to property, spread disease, contaminate food sources, and even trigger allergic reactions in some people. To protect your home or business from these pests, it’s important to know the most common rodents found in our area. 

The Most Common Rodents Found In Nevada: 

• Mice: Mice are the most common type of rodent in Nevada and across the United States. They can easily gain access to homes through cracks and holes, making them difficult to control. Mice reproduce quickly, so it’s important to act fast if you suspect an infestation.
• Rats: Norway rats and roof rats are two of the most common types of rats found in our state. They often look for shelter around buildings and will gnaw on wires and insulation inside walls, causing significant damage. 
• Voles: Often mistaken for mice due to their size, voles have short tails as opposed to the long tail that mice possess. Like other rodents, they reproduce quickly and can cause considerable damage when left unchecked. 
• Pocket gophers: These burrowing rodents prefer open fields or lightly wooded areas near hardwood trees or shrubs where they can feed on vegetation underground without being disturbed. Their tunnels can quickly become destructive if not dealt with properly by a licensed technician who has experience dealing with gopher removal in Reno or elsewhere across Northern Nevada.

No matter the rodent invasion in your home or commercial building, swift action must be taken or else the population can multiply, and the destruction and damage they cause will be multiplied as well.

How We Eradicate Rodent Invasions

At Bonanza Pest Control, our technicians are well-versed in rodent behavior with over 70 years of combined experience. We understand the habits and behaviors of different species and how to effectively remove them from your home or business. Our team takes a comprehensive approach to rodent removal that not only eliminates their presence but greatly reduces the likelihood of re-infestation.

The steps we take to address rodents include: 

• Sanitation: Cleanliness is key when it comes to keeping pests away for good! We will work with you directly on cleaning up food sources (including pet food) and eliminating clutter that may provide shelter for these unwanted guests. 
• Treatment: Once all sanitation measures have been taken we will then use a targeted approach to treating the affected area. We will evaluate the situation and come up with a customized plan that is tailored to your unique needs. This can include lethal and non-lethal means of control like traps, baits, and repellents.
• Prevention: The best way to protect your property is to prevent rodents from entering in the first place. Our technicians can identify potential entry points around your building and seal them off so that new infestations don’t occur. 
• Exclusion: In addition to sealing off entry points we also use traps or other tools such as glue boards to capture any existing rodents on the premises. This allows us to quickly remove any active populations before they have time spread disease or cause further damage.
