Rats and mice chew through wiring, insulation and stored goods, and breed fast once they're established in a roof void or subfloor.
A mouse can squeeze through a gap the size of a 10-cent coin, and a rat through something not much bigger — so roof voids, subfloors and wall cavities with any unsealed entry point are an open invitation, especially once cooler weather sends rodents looking for shelter. Once inside, easy access to stored food, pet food or scraps is what keeps a population growing rather than moving on.
We identify entry points and runways first, then combine sealing of access points with baiting or trapping suited to the level of activity. For ongoing issues, a monitored baiting program keeps numbers down rather than just knocking back one generation.

We use lockable, tamper-resistant bait stations placed away from general access areas, and can discuss placement with you directly if you have particular concerns about pets or young children in the home.
