Mice & Rodent Control Near You

Yes. With proper treatment, exclusion, and follow-up, professional rodent control can eliminate active infestations and significantly reduce the risk of recurrence.

Pest control companies are trained to identify species of rodents, locate entry points and nesting sites, and eliminate mice & rodents effectively and safely. However, long-term success depends on more than just removing the rodents currently inside the home. Effective rodent control requires a combination of trapping, targeted treatments, and sealing entry points to prevent re-entry.

Rodents are a type of pests that include mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks, prairie dogs, rats, voles and others.

Rodents are considered pests as they can cause damage to building structures, contaminate food, and spread diseases.

Did you know that rodents can pass rodent-borne diseases through bites, food contamination through droppings and other waste products or by indirectly bringing in fleas, mites and ticks that may bite a human and pass on rodent-borne diseases.

A pest control company may also include exclusion techniques, such as sealing entry points, to prevent future infestations.

Use the three rules of pest control to get rid of rodents:

Eliminate sources of food, water & shelter by keeping your property sanitary. Keep trash in sealable garbage cans and remove trash promptly and effectively. Keep food stores in airtight containers, clean debris, overgrown bushes, and firewood around the house.

Seal Entry Points by looking and blocking small cracks and holes, especially around the foundation, walls, doors and windows, is an important step to  keeping rodents away from your home.

Finally, if rodent infestation has already occurred, call a pest control company that has the expertise to inspect and evaluate the scope of the infestation, techniques and tools to exterminate rodents, and preventive skills to prevent a future infestation.

The fastest way to address a rodent problem is through immediate, targeted trapping combined with a thorough inspection to locate entry points and nesting areas. While some DIY traps may reduce activity temporarily, improper placement or handling can lead to incomplete control, inhumane approaches, and sanitation concerns.

Professional rodent control ensures rapid reduction of the population, safe removal and disposal, and sealing of access points to prevent re-entry. Acting quickly is important, as rodents reproduce rapidly and can cause structural damage and contamination in a short period of time.

Our mice and rodent control process begins with a detailed inspection to identify entry points, nesting areas, and signs of activity. Rodents can enter through openings as small as a quarter-inch, so locating these vulnerabilities is critical.

We then implement targeted trapping and removal strategies to quickly reduce the active population. Once activity is under control, we focus on exclusion—sealing gaps, cracks, and structural openings—to prevent future entry.

Finally, we provide sanitation and prevention recommendations to address conditions that may attract rodents, ensuring long-term protection for your home.

The most thing you can do to prevent mice, rats & other rodents from ever creating a presence in your home is proper sanitation. Eliminating accessible food sources, securing trash containers, storing pantry items in sealed containers, and promptly cleaning spills all reduce what attracts mice and rats indoors.

Sanitation alone may not be enough, however.

Rodents can enter through openings as small as a quarter-inch, so effective prevention also requires sealing cracks, gaps around doors and windows, utility penetrations, foundation voids, and other structural entry points. Reducing clutter, trimming vegetation away from the structure, and keeping firewood stored away from the home further lowers the risk.

For properties with recurring activity or structural vulnerabilities that cannot be fully sealed, a professional rodent maintenance plan provides ongoing monitoring and protection. If rodent activity is already present, prompt professional intervention is recommended to eliminate the infestation and prevent further contamination or damage.
