Four Seasons Pest Solutions has provided successful rodent control in residential and commercial facilities for decades. Our techniques are full-proof and ready for the most challenging infestations. We not only have a great plan and a working program, but our follow-through service will impact the rodent population outside the structure and the environment around you.
We begin by inspecting what kind of rodents are present, pinpoint where they are coming from, and determine how they are getting into the structure. Once the species is determined, the entry points have been found, and we have discovered where the rodents may be coming from, we can begin to develop a program.
Although you may already have an infestation, the steps to prevent rodents will help stop the current infestation from expanding. This is achieved by sealing cracks, crevices, gaps, and entry points along the outside perimeter of the home. Exclusions create a no-go zone, blocking rodents from gaining access inside.
Trapping can provide quick relief in severe infestations. However, rodents can become trap-shy once a few trapping sessions have been completed. If this occurs, traps will no longer be effective. This step must be handled correctly. A professional pest control company should be consulted before trapping in a heavy infestation.
Exterior tamper-resistant bait stations will be strategically placed along the outside perimeter of the home. Additional tamper-resistant bait stations can be placed along high-traffic areas indoors, as a backup to intercept any rodents that may not initially discover the exterior stations. This is the most effective way to both eliminate current infestations and prevent future ones.
Sanitizing key areas of entry and areas where fecal and urine deposits have been left helps reduce the possibility of disease and illnesses being spread as well as eliminating any possibility of pheromones. Pheromones attract other rodents that may also find their way inside.
Once the rodent control plan is implemented, long-term monitoring will help reduce local populations, further reducing the chances of future infestations. This is a crucial step in achieving superb control.
Our Kentucky rodent control programs not only eliminate rodents inside and outside your home, but they also target local populations. By making an impact on local populations, fewer rodents will be available to infest your home. When our rodent control programs are left in place for extended periods, they actively work around the clock, providing you with a rodent-free home.
We offer the perfect solution for dealing with rodents, whether they are in your home, barn, food warehouse, or restaurant. Our team of specialists knows exactly how to incorporate our top-notch rodent program to fit your specific situation. We stand behind our work and actively communicate with our clients on ways to improve overall sanitation and other site-based improvements to further prevent rodent infestations. By implementing these improvements, we actively work towards keeping your space rodent-free.
Rodents can leave behind feces and urine which may contribute to the spread of illnesses and disease . We offer Hepa vacuum and sanitation services as well. Just ask!

The best way to control rodents is to prevent them. Having the right pest control company on your side will make it easy. A few essential tips might aid in prevention, although they aren’t full-proof:
Since prevention methods are often overlooked and ignored, you may find yourself with an infestation. If that happens, Four Seasons Pest Solutions has got you covered!
One of the most effective rodent programs is our very ZeRo Program. Since 2000, Four Seasons Pest Solutions has had a 100% success rate with this plan (when customers meet our criteria). Designed with every home and every budget in mind, our ZeRo Program is suitable for everyone. Fully customizable, complete elimination guarantee, and a warranty better than the most prominent national companies offer to make the ZeRo Program the people’s choice for Kentucky and Tennessee.
Our ZeRo Program is more than just a catchy name. This program is designed with the customer in mind. Our original plan included providing a rodent service everyone could afford. That service also had to be flexible so it could be tailored to every home. Furthermore, it had to carry the industry’s best guarantee. We’re proud to say that we accomplished that we nailed that plan! That’s why our ZeRo Program for rodent control is the most popular rodent control program in Kentucky and Tennessee!
Our president, Matthew S. Hess, has over 26 years logged in the pest control industry. With the help of staff, he developed the ‘ZeRo Program’ decades ago. Since then, Four Seasons Pest Solutions has been able to fully perfect the program and implement it on thousands of homes and businesses across Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia.
Watch this video explaining the development process of our ZeRo Program through the years.
There is no mandatory prep work for our ZeRo Program. However, it is in your best interests to begin taking measures to reduce the possibility of rodents on your property. This can include sanitation and exclusion measures. We offer both of these services as well. There’s really no need for you to do anything you don’t have time to do. Let the pros at Four Seasons do it for you!
There are several rodent control options over the counter. Among them are the famous snap trap, the glue trap or sticky trap, multi-catch traps, bait blocks, bait pellets, and other options as well.
There is an endless supply of DIY products advertised for rodent control. It’s no secret that manufacturers are willing to stretch the truth about their products. Although all the DIY products will trap or kill rodents, that doesn’t mean they are suitable for infestation control. Trap shyness and bait resistance can all lead to significant problems. Manufacturers don’t warn the consumer of these possibilities. Additionally, the potential of injuring or killing non-target species also exists. Untrained persons may inadvertently create a scenario where certain species may be affected by improper baiting and trapping techniques.
While self-treatment may seem like the most affordable option to many, that’s usually not the case. Besides the fact that most consumers know little to nothing about how to use rodenticides safely, most end up spending hundreds of dollars on unsuccessful attempts at controlling their rodent infestation. Furthermore, rodent bait is lethal to humans and pets in the wrong hands!
DIY rodent control products are marketed to homeowners without experience in control measures. When the product fails, and it likely will, it is easily blamed on misuse, failure to follow label instructions, or incorrect application methods.
We understand the expense of hiring a pro, but we also know the countless reports of failed DIY attempts by customers. Many of our clients report having previously used DIY products and yet have a rodent infestation. Some even end up with serious damage from chewed wires, water pipes, and other structural damages. Additionally, the misuse of rodent baits can lead to poisoned pets and wildlife. We can save you the hassle, the heartache, the failure, and the money!
We designed our ZeRo Program to offer unprecedented rodent control! That means it WORKS! You can DIY your rodent control, cross your fingers, and hope it works, or let the pros do it right. In the long run, we’ll save you money you didn’t know you were going to spend. Plus, we’ll ensure you have no chance of health problems from future rodent infestations as long as our program is in place.
If you decide to DIY, please read the entire product label before treatment. Keeping you and your family safe is our number one priority. Don’t risk your health to potentially save a few dollars.
What types of rodents are common in Kentucky?
Kentucky is home to several rodent species, including the house mouse (Mus musculus), Norway rat (Rattus norvegicus), and Deer mice (Peromyscus). Each species has distinct behaviors and habitats, making identification crucial for effective control.
How can I tell if I have a rodent infestation?
Signs of a rodent infestation include droppings, gnaw marks on food packaging or furniture, and nests made from shredded paper or insulation. You may also notice a distinct musky odor in areas where rodents are active, along with sounds of scratching or scurrying in walls or attics.
What health risks do rodents pose?
Rodents can carry various diseases, including hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonellosis. They can transmit these diseases through their droppings, urine, and bites, potentially leading to serious health issues for humans and pets. Additionally, house fires, allergies, and other concerns exist.
What are effective control options for rodents?
Effective control methods include the use of snap traps, bait stations, and rodenticides. Snap traps are a humane method for capturing rodents, while bait stations can help manage larger infestations. Consulting with a pest control professional can provide tailored solutions based on the severity of the infestation.
How can I prevent rodents from entering my Kentucky home?
Preventing rodents from entering involves sealing entry points, such as cracks in walls, gaps around windows, and holes in foundations. Additionally, keeping food stored in airtight containers and maintaining cleanliness in kitchens and dining areas will help deter rodents. Four Seasons pest Solutions offer rodent exclusions of all kinds!
Are there natural methods to control rodents?
Yes, some natural methods can help manage very minor rodent populations. For example, using peppermint oil as a deterrent can be effective, as rodents dislike the scent. However, natural methods often work best as preventive measures rather than solutions for existing infestations. Additionally, these methods often prove to be much more expensive than traditional methods.
How can I safely remove a rodent infestation?
For minor infestations, DIY methods can be effective, but significant problems require professional pest control services. Experts can assess the situation, implement targeted treatments, and provide ongoing monitoring to ensure the problem is resolved.
Be sure to wear the proper personal protective equipment when disturbing any nests or areas where droppins and urine deposits exists!
What should I do if I find a dead rodent in my home in Kentucky?
If you find a dead rodent, wear gloves and use a plastic bag to dispose of it safely. Clean the area with disinfectant to eliminate any potential pathogens that may be present in droppings or body fluids. Optionally, call Four Seasons Pest Solutions for a cleanup and evaluation. You may need rodent control!
How often should I check for signs of rodents in my Kentucky home?
Regular inspections, particularly in areas prone to rodent activity, such as basements and attics, should be conducted at least once a month. Increased vigilance is especially important during colder months when rodents seek shelter indoors.
What is the legal status of rodent control in Kentucky?
Most rodent control methods, including traps and rodenticides, are legal to use. However, it’s essential to follow state and local regulations regarding the use of pesticides and to ensure that any control measures are safe for humans and pets.
