Rodent Control Process
Our Complete 4-Step Rodent Control Process
Free Inspection
We conduct a thorough inspection of your home's interior, exterior, attic, and crawlspace to identify rodent activity and entry points.
Exterior Baiting
We install tamper-resistant bait stations around the perimeter of your property to reduce the exterior rodent population before they get inside.
Interior Trapping
We strategically place snap traps and catch stations in high-activity interior areas to quickly eliminate rodents already inside.
Exclusion
We seal up holes, cracks, and gaps using chew-proof materials like steel wool and specialized sealants to prevent future entry.
Ongoing Monitoring (Optional)
We offer recurring service plans to monitor bait stations, remove trapped rodents, and ensure your home stays rodent-free year-round.
