Mice and rats are among the most destructive and dangerous pests that can enter your home or business. Beyond the property damage they cause, the health risks they pose to your family require immediate action.
Rodents spread Hantavirus, Salmonella, Leptospirosis, Rat-Bite Fever, and Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCMV) through their droppings, urine, saliva, and bites. These diseases can be contracted simply by breathing dust contaminated with rodent droppings.
Rodents constantly gnaw to keep their teeth from growing too long. They chew through electrical wiring inside walls — a leading cause of house fires. The National Fire Protection Association estimates rodents are responsible for up to 25% of all fires with unknown causes in the United States.
Mice and rats gnaw through wood, insulation, drywall, plumbing pipes, and HVAC ducts to build nests and create pathways through your home. This structural damage can cost thousands of dollars to repair if an infestation is left untreated for an extended period.
Rodents contaminate far more food than they consume. A single mouse produces up to 75 droppings per day and leaves urine trails wherever it travels. Any food source accessible to rodents must be considered contaminated and discarded immediately.
A single pair of mice can produce up to 60 offspring per year, with young mice reaching reproductive age in just 6 weeks. A small infestation of 2 mice can grow to over 60 within a single season if left untreated — making early action absolutely critical.
Rodent dander, urine, and droppings are known allergens that trigger asthma attacks and respiratory problems — particularly in children and the elderly. These allergens can remain active in your home long after the rodents are removed if proper cleanup is not performed.
A rodent infestation is not a problem that gets better on its own. Every day you wait, the population grows and the damage increases. Call us now.
📞 Call (844) 904-1470 — Same-Day Service AvailableRodents are nocturnal and secretive — they can establish a significant infestation inside your walls before you ever see one. Knowing the early warning signs is critical for catching the problem before it spirals out of control.
Mouse droppings are small — about the size of a grain of rice — dark brown, and pointed at both ends. Rat droppings are larger, about 3/4 inch long, and capsule-shaped. Finding droppings in kitchen cabinets, along baseboards, behind appliances, or in drawers is one of the most reliable signs of an active infestation.
📞 Call (844) 904-1470Rodents gnaw constantly. Look for chew marks on food packaging, wooden cabinets, baseboards, and — most dangerously — electrical wiring. Fresh gnaw marks are light colored and become darker over time. Chewed wiring inside walls is a serious fire hazard that requires both pest control and electrical inspection.
📞 Call (844) 904-1470Hearing scratching, scurrying, or squeaking sounds inside your walls, ceiling, or under floors — especially at night — is a strong indicator of an active rodent infestation. Mice tend to make lighter scratching sounds while rats produce louder, heavier thumping noises as they move through your home.
📞 Call (844) 904-1470Rodents build nests from shredded paper, fabric, insulation, and other soft materials. Nests are typically found in dark, secluded areas such as inside wall voids, behind appliances, in attics and crawl spaces, inside stored boxes, and in the corners of rarely used closets and cabinets.
📞 Call (844) 904-1470Rodents follow the same pathways repeatedly and their oily fur leaves dark smear marks along walls, baseboards, and around entry holes. These rub marks are especially visible near gaps around pipes, in corners, and along the base of walls where rodents travel in search of food.
📞 Call (844) 904-1470A strong ammonia-like smell — caused by concentrated rodent urine — in enclosed spaces like cabinets, attics, basements, and crawl spaces is a sign of an active and established infestation. Dead rodents inside walls also produce a distinct decaying odor that can permeate through your entire home.
📞 Call (844) 904-1470Unlike DIY methods that only address the rodents you can see, our professional rodent control process eliminates the entire infestation and permanently seals your home against future entry.
Every rodent control service begins with a comprehensive inspection of your entire property — interior and exterior. Our specialist identifies all active entry points, nesting locations, runways, and feeding areas. Understanding the full scope of the infestation is essential for developing an effective elimination plan.
📞 Call (844) 904-1470Exclusion is the most critical step in any rodent control program. Our specialists permanently seal all identified entry points using rodent-proof materials including steel wool, hardware cloth, caulk, and expandable foam. Without sealing entry points, new rodents will simply replace the ones that are removed — making exclusion non-negotiable for long-term success.
📞 Call (844) 904-1470Following exclusion, our specialists place snap traps, live traps, and tamper-resistant bait stations in strategic locations along known rodent runways, near nesting areas, and at entry points. Trap placement and bait selection are based on the species identified — mice and rats require different trapping strategies for maximum effectiveness.
📞 Call (844) 904-1470Rodent control is not a one-visit solution. Our specialists schedule follow-up visits to check traps, remove caught rodents, replenish bait stations, and verify that activity is declining. Monitoring continues until no further rodent activity is detected — ensuring your home is truly rodent-free before the program is concluded.
📞 Call (844) 904-1470House mice are the most common rodent pest in the United States. They can enter through gaps as small as 1/4 inch — about the diameter of a pencil — making them exceptionally difficult to exclude without professional knowledge of all potential entry points. Our mouse control specialists have the experience to find and seal every gap mice use to enter your home.
📞 Call (844) 904-1470Rats are larger, more intelligent, and more destructive than mice — and they are significantly more difficult to control. Norway rats burrow underground and enter through floor drains and foundation gaps, while roof rats access homes through the roofline, attic vents, and overhanging tree branches. Our rat specialists use species-specific strategies for complete elimination.

Answers to the most common questions about professional mice and rat extermination.
Common signs include finding small dark droppings along walls and in cabinets, hearing scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings at night, noticing gnaw marks on food packaging or wiring, finding shredded nesting material, and seeing greasy rub marks along baseboards. If you spot any of these signs call us immediately at (844) 904-1470.
Yes — rodents are a serious health and safety hazard. They spread diseases including Hantavirus, Salmonella, Leptospirosis, and Rat-Bite Fever through their droppings, urine, and bites. They also gnaw through electrical wiring — a leading cause of house fires — and cause significant structural damage throughout your home.
Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as 1/4 inch — the diameter of a pencil. Rats can enter through holes the size of a quarter. Common entry points include gaps around plumbing pipes, cracks in the foundation, holes in exterior walls, gaps under doors, unscreened attic vents, and spaces where utility lines enter the building. Without professional exclusion, rodents will continue to enter regardless of how many are removed.
A typical mouse infestation can be resolved within 1 to 2 weeks with professional treatment. Rat infestations may take 2 to 4 weeks depending on severity and the number of entry points. The most critical step is sealing all entry points — without exclusion, new rodents will continue to enter even after existing ones are removed.
In most cases you do not need to vacate your home during rodent control treatment. Snap traps and bait stations are placed in areas inaccessible to children and pets. Your technician will advise you on specific precautions needed based on your home layout and the treatment methods being used.
When entry points are properly sealed and sanitation recommendations are followed, re-infestation is uncommon. However if new structural gaps develop or food sources remain accessible, rodents can return. Our specialists provide detailed prevention recommendations and ongoing monitoring programs to ensure long-term protection for your home.
