How do I know if I have rats or mice in my home?

Common signs include droppings along walls or in cabinets, gnaw marks on food packaging or wiring, scratching sounds in walls or ceilings at night, and nesting materials like shredded insulation or paper. Our free inspection will confirm the species and severity.

Is rodent control safe around pets?

We use humane traps, exclusion devices, and tamper-resistant bait stations positioned away from areas accessible to pets. Your technician will walk you through placement and safety precautions specific to your property.

How long does rodent removal take?

Initial removal typically takes 1–2 treatments over 1–2 weeks depending on infestation size. Exclusion work to seal entry points is done in the same visit. Follow-up monitoring is included to confirm complete elimination.

Can rodents spread disease?

Yes. Mice and rats can carry Hantavirus, Salmonella, Leptospirosis, and other pathogens. Rodent droppings and urine contaminate surfaces and food. Professional removal and sanitation significantly reduces health risks.

Why do I keep getting rodents even after trapping them?

Trapping alone rarely solves the problem if entry points remain open. Rodents are territorial and new animals quickly move into vacated spaces. Effective rodent control requires finding and sealing all entry points, which our exclusion service addresses.
