Complete rodent elimination with trapping, removal, and permanent exclusion solutions
Rodent Problems in Houston Homes
Mice and rats are among the most problematic pests Houston homeowners face. These rodents seek shelter in attics, wall voids, garages, and crawl spaces, especially during cooler months. Once inside, they reproduce rapidly—a single pair of mice can produce dozens of offspring in just a few months. Rodents contaminate food with their droppings and urine, spread diseases including hantavirus and salmonella, and trigger allergies and asthma in sensitive individuals.
Beyond health concerns, rodents cause significant property damage. Their constant gnawing damages electrical wiring, creating fire hazards, and they destroy insulation, wood, and personal belongings. You might hear scratching sounds in walls or ceilings at night, find droppings in cabinets, notice gnaw marks on food packaging, or discover nesting materials in hidden areas. The smell of rodent urine and the allergens in their droppings can permeate your home, affecting indoor air quality. Professional rodent control isn't just about removing the current population—it's about identifying and sealing every entry point to prevent future infestations.
Our Comprehensive Rodent Control Solution
Our rodent control program combines three essential elements: population reduction, exclusion, and sanitation. We start by conducting a thorough inspection to determine the extent of your rodent problem and identify how they're entering your home. Mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime, while rats can enter through holes the size of a quarter. Our trained technicians identify these entry points and develop a comprehensive exclusion plan.
For population reduction, we strategically place traps and bait stations in areas of high activity. We use a variety of trapping methods depending on the situation, including snap traps, live traps, and multi-catch devices. Once we've eliminated the existing population, our exclusion work begins. We seal entry points using rodent-proof materials like steel wool, copper mesh, and metal flashing. We also address conducive conditions that attract rodents, such as gaps around pipes, vents, and utility lines. Our service includes removing contaminated insulation if necessary and providing recommendations for ongoing prevention. Unlike DIY methods that only address symptoms, our comprehensive approach solves the root cause of your rodent problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to eliminate a rodent infestation?
Most infestations can be eliminated within 2-4 weeks with proper trapping and exclusion. The timeline depends on the severity of the infestation and the size of your property. We provide follow-up visits to ensure complete elimination.
Can I get rid of rodents myself with store-bought products?
DIY products rarely solve rodent problems completely because they don't address entry points. Without professional exclusion work, new rodents will continue entering even after you eliminate the current population. Our comprehensive approach provides permanent solutions.
What's the difference between mice and rats?
Mice are smaller (½-1 inch long bodies) with large ears and long tails, while rats are larger (6-9 inches) with smaller ears relative to body size. Both require professional control, but they have different behaviors and require different treatment strategies.
