Do I need mice control, rat control, or general rodent control?

If you already know which species you have, our mice control or rat control pages cover that directly. This program is for a first inspection when the species is unclear, or when a property has had both mice and rat activity and needs one coordinated plan.

How fast can rodents multiply?

A single pair of mice can produce dozens of offspring in a year under the right conditions, and rats breed on a similar timeline. That is why an early inspection matters more with rodents than with most other pests.

Is rodenticide used inside my home?

We prioritize trapping indoors, since a rodent that dies inside a wall can cause an odor problem. Bait stations are placed outside, in tamper-resistant housings, as a perimeter measure.

What makes exclusion different from just trapping?

Trapping removes the rodents that are already inside. Exclusion seals the openings they used to get in. Skipping exclusion means new rodents can move into the same gaps within weeks, which is why our program includes both.

Rodent Control

One program covering mice and rats, from first sign to full exclusion

Rodent control covers the full range of commensal rodents that move into homes and businesses, mainly house mice and the two rat species common in the US, Norway rats and roof rats. All three contaminate food and surfaces, gnaw through wiring and structural wood, and can carry salmonella, hantavirus, and leptospirosis. Our rodent program combines species identification, trapping, and full exclusion so the fix outlasts the first visit.

Warning Signs of Rodent Control

Droppings along walls, in cabinets, or in the attic, size and shape identify the species

Gnaw marks on food packaging, wiring, wood trim, or door corners

Scratching or running sounds in walls, ceilings, or attics at night

Grease rub marks along baseboards and wall junctions from repeated travel

A sharp, musky odor in enclosed spaces such as closets or under sinks

Seeing any of these signs? Call us immediately, early treatment prevents the problem from growing and reduces total treatment cost.

Our Rodent Control Treatment Methods

We select the most effective approach based on your specific infestation, property, and family situation.

Species Identification & Inspection

We confirm whether mice, Norway rats, roof rats, or a mix are present, since trap type, bait placement, and exclusion points differ by species.

Interior Trapping Program

Snap traps sized to the species involved, placed along confirmed travel paths and harborage areas, checked and reset on a set schedule.

Exterior Bait Station Circuit

Tamper-resistant, weather-rated stations placed around the foundation intercept rodents before they reach the structure. Child and pet safe by design.

Full Exclusion Sealing

Every gap, vent, and utility penetration a rodent can use is identified and sealed with steel wool, hardware cloth, or concrete patch, the step that actually stops reentry.
