🐭 RODENT AWARENESS WEEK — DAY 7

🏠 YOUR PROPERTY ISN'T THEIR HOME!

As Rodent Awareness Week comes to a close, we hope we've helped shed a little light on just how much trouble these small pests can cause.

From chewed wiring in tractors and pickups to contaminated food, damaged insulation, and unwanted guests in your home, rodents can create some surprisingly expensive problems!

The good news? There are steps you can take to help reduce the risk.

✅ Keep pet food, livestock feed, and birdseed in secure containers.

✅ Reduce clutter and potential nesting areas around buildings.

✅ Inspect vehicles and equipment that sit unused for extended periods.

✅ Seal accessible gaps and openings where rodents may enter.

✅ Watch for droppings, gnaw marks, nesting materials, and other signs of activity.

And when the problem gets beyond what you can manage yourself, that's where Schendel Pest Control of Concordia can help!

We offer professional rodent management programs using strategically placed, tamper-resistant bait stations, quality Bell Laboratories products, and ongoing service when needed.

Whether you're protecting your home, farm buildings, business, or equipment storage areas, we're here to help.

🐭 RODENT AWARENESS WEEK — DAY 6

RODENT CONTROL IS MORE THAN SETTING A TRAP!

We've spent the week talking about the damage rodents can cause. But what can you do when they're already around your home, farm, or business?

Effective rodent management starts with understanding where rodents are traveling, feeding, and finding shelter.

At Schendel Pest Control of Concordia, one of our primary methods is professional rodent baiting using tamper-resistant, weighted bait stations.

Here's why we use them:

🔹 SECURED BAIT — Rodenticide blocks are fastened inside the stations, helping keep them from being carried away.

🔹 TAMPER-RESISTANT DESIGN — Our Bell Laboratories PROTECTA EVO Express stations are designed to help restrict access by children, pets, and other non-target animals when properly installed.

🔹 STRATEGIC PLACEMENT — We position stations in appropriate locations based on rodent activity, property conditions, and product labeling.

🔹 ONGOING MONITORING — Rodent control isn't always a one-time job. Stations can be inspected, serviced, and replenished as necessary.

🔹 MULTIPLE CONTROL OPTIONS — When baiting isn't appropriate or permitted, trapping and other control measures may be used.

We primarily use Bell Laboratories CONTRAC All-Weather BLOX inside our weighted bait stations as part of our rodent management programs.

Whether it's a home, farm building, commercial property, or equipment storage area, understanding rodent behavior and using the right control methods can make a difference.

🐭 RODENT AWARENESS WEEK — DAY 5

“I smell a rat...”

And sometimes you really should.

Rats can do more than just sneak around buildings. They often drag and pack food, nesting material, and other items into hidden harborage areas.

That can happen in places like:

🔹 Under vehicle hoods
🔹 Inside sheds and outbuildings
🔹 Around stored equipment
🔹 In cluttered storage areas
🔹 Inside wall voids and hidden corners

We’ve seen firsthand how surprising this can be. In one case, the area under the hood of a pickup was packed full of dog food that rats had hauled in and stored.

That kind of activity can also go hand in hand with:

🔹 Nesting
🔹 Droppings
🔹 Chewed wiring
🔹 Contaminated stored materials
🔹 Unpleasant odors

One reason bait stations can be helpful is that the bait is secured inside the station instead of being left loose. That helps keep the bait where it belongs and available for rodents to feed on, rather than being dragged off and packed away.

Knowing what to look for can help you spot rodent activity before it turns into a bigger problem.

🐭 RODENT AWARENESS WEEK — DAY 4

You do not always have to see a mouse to know there may be a problem.

Rodents often leave warning signs before you ever spot one out in the open. Catching those signs early can help prevent bigger issues later.

Here are 5 common signs of rodent activity:

1. Droppings
Small droppings are often found near food sources, along walls, in cabinets, in storage areas, or around equipment.

2. Gnaw marks
Rodents constantly chew to wear down their teeth. You may notice gnawing on wood, cardboard, insulation, wiring, or stored materials.

3. Nesting materials
Shredded paper, insulation, fabric, grass, or other soft materials may be gathered into hidden nesting areas.

4. Noises
Scratching, scurrying, or movement in walls, ceilings, attics, sheds, and storage spaces can all be warning signs.

5. Rub marks and greasy trails
As rodents travel the same routes, they can leave dark smudge marks along walls, beams, and baseboards.

Checking for these signs regularly can help you spot a problem early.

We’ll continue sharing rodent awareness and prevention information throughout the week.

🐭 DID YOU KNOW? Rodent damage costs Americans billions!

A widely cited Cornell University research estimate placed annual damage from rats in the United States at approximately $19 BILLION!

That estimate dates back more than 20 years, and the exact amount of damage today is difficult to determine.

Rodent damage can include:

🔹 Destroyed and contaminated food and grain
🔹 Chewed wiring and damaged equipment
🔹 Damage to homes, businesses, and farm buildings
🔹 Costly repairs and replacement of damaged materials

It's not always the rodent you see that causes the biggest problem. Sometimes it's the damage you don't discover until later.

🐭 RODENT AWARENESS WEEK — DAY 2

🚜 Small mice. Potentially BIG repair bills!

Mice and rats can cause thousands of dollars in damage to farm equipment simply by chewing on electrical wiring?

Modern tractors and combines rely heavily on complex electrical systems. Unfortunately, rodents don't know the difference between a piece of wire and something they want to chew!

Here are a few things worth knowing:

🔹 Rodents chew on wiring insulation, which can cause electrical failures and even create fire hazards.

🔹 Damage often goes unnoticed until equipment is needed.

🔹 Tractors, combines, and other equipment parked for extended periods can be especially vulnerable.

We've seen this firsthand! One of our local farming customers experienced approximately $10,000 in wiring repairs on a nearly new tractor.

💡 Prevention tip: Regularly inspect stored equipment for droppings, nesting materials, and signs of chewed wiring. Keeping storage areas clean and reducing rodent access can help lower the risk.

Throughout Rodent Awareness Week, we're sharing information to help our communities recognize potential problems before they become expensive surprises.

🐭 It's Rodent Awareness Week! October 18–24!

Did you know mice and rats can cause problems far beyond the kitchen pantry?

From farm machinery and vehicles to homes and commercial buildings, rodents can cause costly damage, contaminate stored materials, and create safety concerns.

Throughout this week, Schendel Pest Control of Concordia will be sharing information about rodent behavior, warning signs, and practical ways to help protect your property.

We'll also take a closer look at something many people overlook: the damage rodents can cause to the electrical wiring in tractors, combines, pickups, and other equipment.

Follow along this week and learn a little more about these small but surprisingly destructive pests!
