Our Rodent Control Approach

Inspection & Assessment

We locate entry points, nesting sites, and runways. Understanding how rodents are entering is essential to eliminating them.

Treatment & Elimination

We use a combination of trapping and rodenticide bait stations to quickly reduce the active population.

Exclusion & Prevention

We seal all entry points with steel wool, hardware cloth, and caulk. A rat can enter through a gap the size of a quarter.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation

Droppings near food, in drawers, or along walls
Gnaw marks on food packaging, wires, or wood
Nesting materials (shredded paper, fabric, plant matter)
Scratching sounds in walls or ceiling at night
Grease marks or rub marks along baseboards
Tracks or footprints in dusty areas

Why Rodent Control Matters

Rodents are not just a nuisance — they’re a health risk and a property risk:

  • •Carry diseases including hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis
  • •Chew electrical wiring, causing fire hazards
  • •Contaminate food and food prep surfaces
  • •Reproduce rapidly — one pair becomes 1,000+ in a year

Frequently Asked Questions — Rodent Control

How do I know if I have mice or rats?
Signs include droppings near food and along walls, gnaw marks on packaging or wiring, scratching sounds in walls at night, nesting materials, and grease marks along baseboards. A mouse can fit through a gap the size of a dime; a rat needs only a quarter-inch gap.
Will one treatment eliminate my rodent problem?
Rarely. Effective rodent control requires a 3-step process: elimination of the existing population (trapping and baiting), exclusion to seal all entry points, and sanitation to remove food sources. We typically complete this over 2–4 visits and guarantee our exclusion work.
Is rodent bait safe around children and pets?
We use bait stations that are locked and secured inside tamper-resistant enclosures. These are placed in areas inaccessible to children and pets. We also offer trap-only programs for clients who prefer no rodenticides. We discuss all options and safety measures before treatment.
What is the cost of rodent control?
A typical rodent control program ranges from $200–$500 for initial treatment and exclusion, depending on the size of the home and the severity of the infestation. We provide a free inspection and written estimate before any work begins.
How do you seal my home against rodents?
We inspect and seal every potential entry point using a combination of steel wool, caulk, hardware cloth, and expanding foam. We focus on the foundation, gaps around pipes and vents, soffit vents, and any gaps where utility lines enter the building.
