Rodent Control

HOUSE MICE

The most common infesting rodent in and around structures. Rodent feces can carry diseases like Hanta Virus and cause respiratory complications if not addressed.

VOLES

Vole damage can significantly harm turf grasses and is often confused with mole damage.

GROUND SQUIRRELS

Burrowing rodents that can cause significant damage to lawns and expand rapidly.

POCKET GOPHERS

Cause damage similar to moles but require different treatment methods.

Step 1: Inspection and Activity Assessment

We inspect your property inside and out to identify active harborage areas, entry points, runways, droppings, and gnaw marks. We assess the species, the severity, and how rodents are getting in before recommending any treatment.

Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan

Based on the inspection, we build a treatment plan tailored to your property. House mice, voles, ground squirrels, and pocket gophers each require different strategies. What works for mice in a wall void is not what works for pocket gophers tunneling through a lawn.

Step 3: Trapping and Bait Placement

We deploy a combination of traps and tamper-resistant bait stations in key locations. Interior placements use child- and pet-safe stations. Exterior placements target runways and entry zones where rodent activity is concentrated.

Step 4: Exclusion and Entry Point Sealing

Eliminating existing rodents without sealing entry points guarantees re-infestation. We identify and seal gaps around foundations, utility penetrations, vents, and other common entry points to stop new rodents from replacing the ones we remove.

Step 5: Follow-Up and Monitoring

We return to check trap activity, replenish bait stations as needed, and verify the infestation has been controlled. If activity persists, we adjust the approach until the problem is resolved.

• Droppings — Small, dark pellets near food sources, in cabinets, along baseboards, or in attic and crawl spaces
• Gnaw marks — Chewed food packaging, wood, insulation, or electrical wiring (a fire hazard)
• Scratching sounds — Noises in walls, ceilings, or under floors, especially at night
• Runways and rub marks — Grease trails along walls and baseboards where rodents travel repeatedly
• Nesting material — Shredded paper, insulation, or fabric in hidden corners, drawers, or wall voids
• Burrows or surface tunnels — Irregular surface tunnels in lawn or garden areas indicate voles or pocket gophers
• Pet behavior — Dogs and cats pawing at walls or showing unusual interest in areas where rodents may be hiding

If you notice any of these, call before the population grows. A single house mouse can produce 35 to 60 offspring per year.
