Remove Rodents and Seal Them Out for Good
Rodents cause more than just nuisance activity. Rats and mice contaminate food, damage wiring and insulation, and multiply quickly once they gain access to a structure. Effective rodent control requires both removal and exclusion—eliminating current activity while sealing the building so rodents cannot return.
Pestcom Pest Management provides professional rodent control services designed to remove active infestations and harden homes and buildings against future entry.
Why Rats and Mice Invade Homes
Rodents are driven by three needs:
- Shelter in attics, crawl spaces, walls, and garages
- Food such as pet feed, pantry goods, bird seed, and garbage
- Water from plumbing, condensation, and outdoor irrigation
They enter through:
- Gaps under doors
- Utility and pipe penetrations
- Crawl-space vents and foundation openings
- Roofline and attic access points
Once inside, populations can grow quickly if entry points and food sources are not corrected.
Rodents We Commonly Treat
- House mice in kitchens, garages, and wall voids
- Norway rats burrowing near foundations, sheds, and landscape edges
- Roof rats using trees, fences, and utility lines to access attics and eaves
Signs of a Rodent Problem
- Droppings along walls or behind appliances
- Grease or rub marks on baseboards
- Scratching or movement sounds at night
- Shredded paper or insulation used for nests
- Chewed packaging, wiring, or trim
Our Rodent Control Process
1) Inspection & Game Plan
We map travel routes, nesting zones, and entry points from foundation to attic, then present a clear plan and timeline.
2) Removal & Population Knockdown
- Professional traps or tamper-resistant bait stations placed along active runways
- Interior placements in attics, crawl spaces, garages, and behind appliances
- Exterior pressure-point placements where travel is confirmed
- Monitoring to verify activity drop-off
3) Exclusion & Structural Hardening
- Seal utility penetrations, foundation gaps, and siding openings
- Adjust or replace door sweeps and weather-stripping
- Screen vents and weep holes with gnaw-resistant mesh
- Install protective materials at high-risk chew points
4) Sanitation Guidance & Follow-Up
- Safe cleanup guidance for droppings and nesting material
- Storage and housekeeping recommendations
- Rechecks to confirm the structure remains rodent-tight
- Maintenance plans available for ongoing protection
Typical Timeline
- Day 0–1: Inspection, setup, and exclusion priorities
- Days 3–7: Noticeable drop in activity
- Week 2–3: Follow-ups, placement adjustments, and confirmation of control
Severity and structure layout may extend timelines, but most homes see fast improvement.
