Rats & Mice Control

Rats and mice are serious problems. These relentless creatures multiply fast, spread disease, damage property, contaminate food supplies, and can hide in places you can’t see. If you’re hearing scratching in the walls, spotting droppings, or seeing chewed wires or food packaging, it’s time to take them seriously.

At PestXterminators, we offer full-scale rodent control that doesn’t just chase away what you see, it eradicates the infestation, seals every entrance, and ensures rodents don’t return.

The Risks: Why Rodents Are More Than a Nuisance

  • Health hazards: Rats and mice carry pathogens. Their droppings and urine can contaminate kitchens and storage areas, spreading diseases such as salmonella, hantavirus, leptospirosis and more.
  • Structural damage: Their teeth never stop growing, they chew on insulation, wiring, timber, pipes, plastic. Undetected, this can lead to fire risk, water leaks, and costly repairs.
  • Rapid reproduction: A single pair can spawn many litters in a year. Mice can squeeze through holes as small as a dime; rats need only slightly larger gaps. By the time you see evidence, infestation is often well-advanced.
  • Contamination & odors: Beyond visible damage, rodents leave smells, stains, nesting material, which degrade indoor air quality and create unpleasant environments.

Our Professional Rodent Control Method: Step by Step

Step 1 – Comprehensive Inspection & Species Identification

We begin with a detailed walk-through of the property, both interior and exterior. We look for:

  • Signs of droppings, rub marks, urine stains
  • Chewed wires, gnawed food packaging, insulation damage
  • Possible entry points: cracks, vents, gaps around pipes and doors
  • Nest locations in attics, under floors, walls, ceilings
  • Which species are present (house mouse, roof rat, Norway rat, etc.), as treatments differ by species

Step 2 – Tailored Treatment Plan

Once we know the situation, we design a plan that typically includes:

  • Bait stations: Secure, tamper‐proof bait boxes placed in strategic locations. The bait is chosen for species, severity, and safety.
  • Traps: Snap traps or other mechanical traps along rodent paths, behind objects, near walls.
  • Rodenticides (when necessary): Used selectively and carefully, in bait stations or places where rodents can’t access children or pets.??

Step 3 – Rodent Proofing

Treatment alone is not enough. We also:

  • Seal holes, cracks, gaps in foundation, walls, doors, windows, vents
  • Use durable materials (steel mesh, metal flashing, concrete or mortar) in exclusion work
  • Repair damage that provides rodent access: damaged boards, loose siding, vents without covers
  • The minor repairs are free of cost. In case of any bigger damage, our technicians will offer you the right quotes and pricing after inspection.

Step 4 – Sanitation & Environmental Controls

To reduce attractants:

  • Remove food debris, ensure garbage is sealed and removed
  • Clean up clutter and nesting materials
  • Fix moisture issues—leaky pipes, damp basements, pools of water
  • Store pet food securely; avoid leaving food/waste

Step 5 – Monitoring & Follow-Up

Rodents don’t always disappear immediately. We:

  • Re-inspect after treatment to check activity
  • Replace or reset traps and bait stations as needed
  • Continue proofing work if further vulnerabilities are found

What to Expect Before, During, and After

Before Treatment

  • Clear areas near walls, under sinks, in garages so we can access traps/proofing spots.
  • Store food in sealed containers; remove pets or ensure pet-safe treatment.
  • Inform us of recent sightings or damage.

During Treatment

  • Our technicians will work quietly, placing bait stations, traps, applying rodenticides where needed.
  • Expect minimal disruption; some areas may be temporarily inaccessible.

After Treatment

  • You may still see some rodent activity for a short period—this is normal as rodents investigate bait or traps.
  • Within 1-2 weeks, you should see a sharp decline in sightings, noises, droppings.
  • Proofing work may take time to complete if structural repair is needed.

Residential & Commercial Applications

  • For homes: Focus on sealing, interior traps, minimal rodenticide indoors.
  • For businesses: Heavier monitoring, external bait stations, scheduled follow-ups, compliance with health & safety regulations.
