Hear Scratching in the Walls?

Mouse & Rat Exterminator

It always starts the same way. A noise in the ceiling at 2 a.m. Droppings in the pantry. A chewed-through bag of dog food in the garage. By the time you notice, they’ve already been there for weeks.

Mice and rats move indoors when temperatures drop, usually starting in September or October. A single pair of mice can produce dozens of offspring in one season. Traps from the hardware store catch a few, but the colony keeps growing behind the walls. That’s where we come in.

Know the Warning Signs

Signs You Have Mice or Rats

Most people don’t realize they have a rodent problem until it’s already established. Mice are nocturnal, quiet, and stick to the same hidden runways inside your walls, attic, and crawl space. By the time you see one in the open, there are probably more behind the scenes.

Rats are bolder and leave bigger evidence. Either way, the sooner you call, the smaller the problem. Our technicians know exactly what to look for and where to find it.

Droppings

Small dark pellets near food sources, along baseboards, or in cabinets

Scratching Sounds

Noises in walls, ceilings, or attic spaces, especially at night

Gnaw Marks

Chewed food packaging, wires, insulation, or wood framing

Grease Trails

Dark smudge marks along walls and around entry holes from body oil

How It Works

How We Get Rid of Mice & Rats

Traps alone don’t solve a rodent problem. Our approach targets the active population and gives you the information you need to keep them from coming back.

1

Full Home Inspection

We check the attic, crawl space, garage, and every exterior wall for entry points and signs of activity. Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as a dime. Rats need about the size of a quarter. We’ll show you exactly where they’re getting in.

2

Trap & Bait

We place professional-grade traps and bait stations along confirmed runways and high-activity zones. We also identify every entry point and recommend you work with a contractor or handyman to get them sealed up. That’s the key to keeping new rodents from moving in.

3

Follow-Up & Monitoring

We come back to check traps, confirm activity has stopped, and make sure the problem is resolved. If you’re on our monthly spray program, rodent checks are part of the routine. We don’t leave until the problem is gone.

The Real Fix

Why Traps Alone Don’t Solve a Mouse Problem

You set six traps. You caught four mice in the first week. Then the traps sit empty. Problem solved, right? Not usually. Those four mice were the bold ones. The rest of the colony is still nesting inside your walls, breeding, and using runways you can’t see.

Traps catch individuals. They don’t stop the source. Without identifying how they’re getting in and placing bait along active pathways, new mice replace the ones you remove within days. That’s why a professional approach combines trapping, baiting, and a thorough inspection in a single visit.

Open Entry Points Keep Inviting Them In

Every gap around a pipe, dryer vent, or foundation crack is an open door. We identify every access point and recommend you work with a contractor or handyman to get them sealed. That’s the only way to stop the revolving door.

Mice Reproduce Faster Than You Trap

A female mouse can have five to ten litters per year, with up to twelve pups each time. Store traps catch a few, but the colony grows faster than you can set them. Professional bait stations work around the clock.

Health Risks Increase Every Day

Rodent droppings contaminate food surfaces and spread bacteria through your HVAC system. Chewed wiring is a leading cause of house fires. The longer you wait, the more damage accumulates inside the walls.
