Rodent extermination

When to choose rodent extermination

• When you have an active mouse or rat infestation and want complete removal, not just a temporary fix.
• When rodents have returned after previous attempts at control.
• When you need exclusion work to seal entry points and prevent re-entry.
• When you want a guarantee or follow-up visits to ensure the problem is fully resolved.

Why rodent extermination matters

Rodents can spread disease, damage wiring (fire risk), and contaminate food. They multiply quickly, so a small problem can become a major infestation. Full extermination removes the current population and blocks re-entry with exclusion. Without exclusion, new rodents can move in from outside. Professional service combines the right mix of traps, baits, and sealing for a lasting solution.

What to expect from rodent extermination

• An inspection to identify species, entry points, and all areas of activity.
• Placement of traps and/or bait stations (interior and exterior) and removal of rodents.
• Exclusion work—sealing gaps in foundations, around pipes, in rooflines—to prevent re-entry.
• Follow-up visits or a guarantee to confirm the property is rodent-free and to retreat if needed.

Common questions about rodent extermination

How long does rodent extermination take?

You may see a big reduction within one to two weeks. Full elimination and exclusion can take a few weeks depending on the severity and the number of entry points. Your provider will give you a timeline.

Are baits safe for pets?

Baits are toxic if ingested. Professionals use tamper-resistant stations and place them where pets and non-target animals can't access them. Follow your technician's instructions and keep pets away from bait areas.

Will you seal every entry point?

Technicians identify and seal the main entry points. In some buildings it's not possible to seal every tiny gap, but closing the primary holes and gaps greatly reduces the chance of re-entry. Your provider will explain what's been done.
