Mice & rat exterminator near you

Scratching in the ceiling at night, droppings under the sink, wires chewed in the garage. Call and we put you through to a local rodent company — the ones who seal the entry points, not just set a few traps.

  • Real person answers, day or night
  • Same-day visits in most areas
  • Price agreed before work begins
  • No obligation

Is this what you have?

The signs

  • Droppings along walls, in drawers, under the sink or in the garage
  • Scratching or running in the walls and ceiling after dark
  • Gnaw marks on packaging, wood, wiring or plastic
  • Greasy rub marks along baseboards and pipe runs
  • Shredded paper or insulation pulled into a hidden corner
  • A musky smell in the attic, crawl space or behind appliances

Heads up. Rodents chew wiring and their droppings can carry disease. Don’t sweep or vacuum dry droppings — damp them down with a disinfectant first, per CDC guidance.

On the day

What the technician does

  1. Inspection

    Attic, crawl space, garage, kitchen and the outside of the house — mouse or rat, where they run, where they nest, and every way in.

  2. Trapping and baiting

    Traps and tamper-resistant stations placed on the actual runways, out of reach of children and pets.

  3. Exclusion — closing the gaps

    Pipe penetrations, vents, door sweeps and foundation gaps sealed with steel wool, hardware cloth and sealant. This is the part that makes it last.

  4. Follow-up

    Traps checked and cleared, plus straight advice on food storage, clutter and what in the yard is drawing them in.

Practical

Getting ready, and what it runs

Preparation

Clear some space under the sink and around the stove and fridge if you can. Note where you hear activity and at what hour. Keep pets away from anything the technician places.

One visit or ongoing

Trapping plus sealing is often a one-off. Older houses, rural properties and food businesses usually keep a monitoring visit on the books.

What moves the price

  • Mice or rats — rats take longer and need heavier equipment
  • Size of the house and how established the population is
  • How much sealing work the building needs
  • Attic clean-up and insulation replacement where droppings are heavy

Questions

Mice & rats — questions we get a lot

Who do I call for mice or rats?

Call (833) 784-1375. We connect you with a local rodent control company — the same sort of firm you’d find searching for an exterminator near you, without the searching.

I saw one mouse. Is that all?

Almost never. Mice breed quickly and stay out of sight; one seen in daylight usually means a settled population in the walls or attic.

Is it a problem with kids and pets in the house?

Tell the technician before they start. Stations are enclosed and tamper-resistant and traps go out of reach — ask them which products they are using and to show you the label.

Will they come back?

If the gaps aren’t sealed, yes. That is why the exclusion work matters more than any single trap.
