Signs to Watch For

You May Notice the Evidence Before You See the Rodent

Mice and rats often stay inside walls, attics, crawl spaces, garages, storage areas and other protected spaces. That means the first clue may be a sound, dropping or damaged item instead of a live rodent.

Scratching Sounds

Movement or scratching from walls, ceilings, attics or other enclosed areas.

Rodent Droppings

Droppings around cabinets, garages, storage areas, food sources or travel routes.

Gnaw Marks

Chewed packaging, cardboard, stored items, wiring or other materials.

Nesting Evidence

Shredded paper, insulation or other material collected in protected areas.

Inspection Comes First

The Rodent You See Is Only Part of the Problem

A good rodent inspection looks beyond the room where activity was noticed. The goal is to determine where mice or rats are active, where they may be nesting, and how they may be getting into the structure.

  • Droppings and travel routes
  • Gnawing and nesting evidence
  • Attics and rooflines
  • Crawl spaces and foundations
  • Garages and exterior doors
  • Utility and plumbing penetrations

How Are Mice and Rats Getting Into the Building?

Attics, crawl spaces, garages, doors, vents, utility penetrations and rooflines can all provide routes into a structure.

Attics & Rooflines

Inspect soffits, vents, roof transitions and other elevated openings for possible access.

Crawl Spaces

Check doors, vents, utility openings and gaps around foundations and protected areas beneath the structure.

Garages & Doors

Worn seals, gaps beneath doors and frequently opened garage doors may provide easy routes inside.

Utility Openings

Plumbing, HVAC, electrical and other penetrations should be checked for gaps around the structure.

Removal + Prevention

Catching a Mouse Does Not Explain How It Got Inside

Traps and bait can be important parts of rodent control, but removing active rodents is only one part of the job. If an opening remains, another mouse or rat may use the same route later.

  • Identify whether mice or rats are active
  • Determine where activity is concentrated
  • Inspect possible exterior access points
  • Remove or control active rodents
  • Address accessible openings when exclusion is needed
  • Monitor for signs of continuing or returning activity

What About Rodent Exclusion?

Rodent exclusion depends on the structure and the openings found during the inspection. The technician can identify accessible entry points and explain what sealing or repair work may be recommended.

Larger exclusion projects, unusual access conditions and heavier infestations may require a separate scope.

Our Rodent Control Process

Find the Activity. Find the Entry. Build the Right Plan.

Rodent service should fit the rodent, the building and the conditions found during the inspection.

1

Inspect

Look for droppings, gnawing, nesting material, travel routes and areas where mice or rats are active.

2

Identify

Determine the type of rodent activity and where the problem is concentrated.

3

Control

Use trapping, baiting or other targeted control methods based on the property and inspection findings.

4

Exclude

Identify accessible gaps and openings that may allow mice or rats to enter the structure.

5

Monitor

Watch for new activity and address conditions that may contribute to repeat rodent pressure.

Residential & Commercial

Rodent Control Has to Fit the Property

A mouse in a house, rats around a restaurant and recurring activity at an apartment property do not create the same control problem.

Homes

Inspection of kitchens, pantries, garages, attics, crawl spaces, storage areas, utility rooms and exterior entry points.

Residential Pest Control

Rentals & Multi-Family

Rodent service for rental homes, apartments, managed properties, common areas and recurring rodent complaints.

Request Property Service

Commercial Properties

Inspection and rodent control for restaurants, offices, retail, warehouses, storage facilities and other business environments.

Commercial Pest Control
Commercial Rodent Control

A Rodent Sighting at a Business Is More Than an Inconvenience

Commercial rodent control has to account for how the property operates. Deliveries, storage areas, kitchens, dumpsters, exterior doors, utility penetrations and neighboring properties can all affect rodent pressure.

What types of rodents do you treat?
