Rodent Control & Exclusion Services
Mice and rats chew wiring, contaminate food, spread disease, and reproduce rapidly. One pair of mice can become 200 in just a few months. Professional exclusion and trapping ends the problem.
What to Look For
Signs You Have Rodents
Droppings
Rod-shaped droppings along walls, in cabinets, behind appliances, or in attics and crawlspaces — the most common and reliable sign.
Gnaw Marks
Fresh gnaw marks on wood, food packaging, electrical wiring, or pipes. Lighter-colored marks indicate recent activity.
Scratching Sounds
Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking sounds in walls, ceilings, or under floors — most noticeable at night when rodents are most active.
Grease Trails
Dark, greasy rub marks along walls and baseboards where rodents travel repeatedly — their oily fur leaves residue on surfaces.
Nesting Materials
Shredded paper, fabric, insulation, or plant material in hidden areas — mice and rats build nests in attics, wall voids, and under appliances.
Pet Agitation
Dogs and cats pawing at walls or acting alert near baseboards often indicates rodent activity inside the walls.
Our Process
Our Elimination & Exclusion Process
Full Inspection
We inspect the interior, exterior, attic, and crawlspace to identify species, population size, nesting sites, and every entry point.
Exclusion
We seal gaps, cracks, and holes rodents use to enter — around pipes, vents, foundations, rooflines, and utility penetrations. A mouse can enter through a hole the size of a dime.
Trapping Program
Snap traps and live traps placed in high-activity areas capture the current population quickly. We check and reset traps on follow-up visits.
Bait Stations
Tamper-resistant, locked bait stations placed along the exterior perimeter intercept rodents before they enter — inaccessible to children and pets.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Store-bought products can help manage small problems but rarely solve them. Without locating and sealing entry points, you'll keep catching new rodents indefinitely. Professional exclusion addresses the root cause.
We use only tamper-resistant, locked bait stations placed in locations inaccessible to children and pets — along exterior walls, under structures, and in crawlspaces. We walk you through every placement location.
Mice can fit through a hole the size of a dime (¼ inch). Common entry points include gaps around pipes, loose dryer vents, garage door gaps, cracks in the foundation, and openings where utilities enter the home.
Most residential mouse problems show significant improvement within 1–2 weeks of trapping and exclusion. We typically follow up 2–3 times to confirm the population has been eliminated and all entry points are sealed.
No. Trapping and exclusion work doesn't require you to leave your home. Interior bait stations, if used, are placed in areas inaccessible to occupants such as wall voids and crawlspaces.
