Rodent Control
How do you get rid of mice or rats, and what does it cost?
Rodent control is handled as part of an initial treatment plus a recurring plan starting around $97 every 2 months, combining interior/exterior trapping and bait placement with entry-point sealing to keep them from getting back in.
Overview
Getting rid of rodents takes more than a few traps — it means finding how they're getting in, removing what's already inside, and closing the entry points so new rodents don't move in behind them. We treat rats and mice as part of our general pest program so your property gets ongoing monitoring, not just a single visit.
Signs you may have rodents
- Droppings along baseboards, in cabinets, or in the attic/crawlspace
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, wiring, or wood
- Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings, or crawlspaces, especially at night
- A strong, musky odor in enclosed spaces like closets or under sinks
Risks if left untreated
- Rodents chew through electrical wiring, which is a documented fire hazard
- They contaminate food and surfaces and can carry disease through droppings and urine
- Left unchecked, populations grow quickly — a single pair of mice can produce dozens of offspring in a year
Our treatment process
- 1Inspection to locate entry points, nesting areas, and activity levels inside and outside the structure
- 2Interior and exterior trapping/bait placement on the initial visit
- 3Sealing up common entry points (gaps around utility lines, foundation gaps, roof lines) so rodents can't get back in
- 4Recurring visits to monitor activity, service bait stations, and catch new pressure early
Prevention tips
- Seal gaps larger than a pencil around the foundation, utility lines, and rooflines
- Store food (including pet food) in sealed, chew-proof containers
- Keep firewood and debris piles away from the foundation
- Trim tree branches back from the roofline — rodents use them as a bridge
Frequently asked questions
Do you offer crawlspace or attic entry-point sealing?
Yes — beyond trapping and bait, we can identify and help seal the entry points rodents are using, which is the real key to keeping them out long-term.
Is it safe to have bait stations around kids and pets?
We use tamper-resistant, locked bait stations placed according to label requirements, specifically to keep bait inaccessible to children and pets.
In the Tri-State area
Rodent calls across Huntington, Barboursville, and Ashland pick up heavily in the fall as mice and rats move indoors ahead of cold weather looking for food, water, and shelter.
