- Droppings near food, pet food, and along walls
- Gnaw marks on wood, wiring, and packaging
- Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings, or the attic

Three parts, one plan
Rodent control works when you stop the entry, remove the rodents, and reduce what attracts them
Seal up: we handle it
We look for gaps around the foundation, vents, pipes, and utility lines, and seal the ones we find so new rodents have a harder time getting in.
Trap up: we handle it
We trap and remove the mice and rats already inside or around your home or business.
Clean up: you help
Store food in sealed containers, keep trash closed, and clear yard clutter that gives rodents shelter. We'll walk through what to change at your inspection.

Our process
How rodent control works in Alabaster
Five steps, inside and out.
Inspect: free
We check the attic, crawlspace, garage, and exterior for droppings, gnaw marks, nesting, and the gaps rodents are using to get in.
Trap and remove
We set traps where we find activity and remove the mice and rats we catch.
Seal entry points
We seal the gaps around vents, pipes, and the foundation that rodents are using, so we're not sealing anything in.
Reduce food and shelter
We give you a short list of changes that make your property less attractive to rodents, like food storage, trash, and yard clutter.
Follow up
If you're still noticing activity, request a free call-back within 14 days of your treatment.
