Rodent Control FAQ — Old City
How do rodents get into Old City homes?
In Old City, rodents most commonly enter through foundation cracks, gaps around utility pipes, under ill-fitting door thresholds, and through openings in older brick or stone foundations. We identify and seal these entry points as part of our treatment.
Do you offer exclusion services in Old City?
Yes. Exclusion — physically sealing entry points — is a core part of our rodent control program. Without it, new rodents will re-enter even after existing ones are eliminated. We seal gaps with hardware cloth, copper mesh, and caulk.
Are your rodent bait stations safe for pets in Old City?
Yes. We use tamper-resistant bait stations that prevent access by pets and children. Bait is placed inside the station where only rodents can reach it, and placement locations are chosen with pet safety in mind.
How long until rodents are gone from my Old City home?
Most Old City homes see significant reduction in rodent activity within 1–2 weeks of treatment. Complete elimination typically takes 3–4 weeks. We follow up to ensure the population has been fully controlled.
Why Old City Chooses Organic Pest Control Philadelphia
