Why Store-Bought Rodent Baits Can Create Bigger Problems
Seeing rodents in your home can be alarming, and many homeowners rush to buy store-bought baits, hoping for a quick fix. But here’s the problem—these baits are often ineffective, can lead to rodents dying in hard-to-reach places, and fail to address the root cause of the infestation. If you're dealing with a rodent issue in Dallas-Fort Worth, here’s why professional rodent control services are the better choice.
1. Store-Bought Baits Don’t Always Work
Cheap rodent baits may attract some rats and mice, but they don’t always kill them effectively. Many rodents develop resistance to over-the-counter poisons, and without the right placement and formulation, they can avoid the bait altogether.
2. Dead Rodents in Hard-to-Reach Areas
When rodents consume bait, they don’t die instantly—they often retreat into walls, attics, or crawl spaces before succumbing. This leads to horrible odors, maggots, and the need for costly removal.
3. They Don’t Address the Root of the Problem
Killing a few rodents won’t stop an infestation. Without proper exclusion techniques—like sealing entry points and removing nesting materials—new rodents will take their place.
