Rodent Control Services
We trap the rats and mice already inside, find and seal the gaps they're using, and keep monitoring so they don't move back in.

Signs you need rodent control
Rats and mice are good at staying out of sight. These are the signs they leave behind.
-
Droppings
Small dark pellets in cabinets, drawers, the attic, under sinks or along walls. Fresh droppings are dark and soft; older ones are dry and crumbly.
-
Noises at night
Scratching, scurrying or gnawing in the walls, ceiling or attic, usually after dark.
-
Gnaw marks
Chewed food packaging, wires, insulation, wood or plastic. Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their teeth worn down.
-
Nests and rub marks
Nests of shredded paper, fabric or insulation, and dark, greasy smudges along walls and beams where rodents travel.
What's included in our rodent control service
Trapping alone doesn't fix a rodent problem. Here's how we cover it.
-
A full inspection
We check the attic, crawl space, garage, kitchen and outside of the home to find where rodents are active and how they're getting in.
-
Trapping
We set traps along the routes rodents travel inside the home to remove the ones already in.
-
Entry-point sealing
We find and seal the gaps rodents use: roof returns, vents, utility lines, plumbing openings and garage doors.
-
Exterior bait stations
Locked, tamper-resistant bait stations around the outside of the home stop new rodents before they get in.
-
Ongoing monitoring
Follow-up visits to check traps and stations and make sure no new activity turns up.
-
Prevention advice
We point out the food sources, clutter and landscaping that attract rodents, so the fix lasts.
Our rodent-crushing team
Since 1983, Mack Pest Solutions has protected homes and businesses from rats and mice.
How our rodent control works
We deal with three common rodents: roof rats, which climb and nest in attics; Norway rats, which burrow and come in low through crawl spaces and foundations; and house mice, which can squeeze through a gap the size of a dime. Each one gets in a little differently, so the inspection matters.
Our approach has three parts. First, we remove the rodents already inside with traps placed along the routes they travel. Second, we find and seal the entry points, because a rodent problem comes back if the way in stays open. Third, we keep it from starting again with exterior bait stations and monitoring.
Rodents chew wires, contaminate food and carry disease, so it's worth handling quickly. Most rodent problems are under control within days of our first visit.

Trapping and sealing
We set traps inside, seal the entry points we find and place bait stations outside.
- Step 3
Follow-up and monitoring
We come back to check traps and stations, remove what we've caught and confirm the activity has stopped.
How to prepare for rodent control
-
Note what you've seen
Where you've found droppings or damage or heard noises, and at what time of day.
-
Clear the access points
Make the attic hatch, crawl space entrance and cabinets under the sinks easy to reach.
-
Seal up food
Store food, pet food and birdseed in sealed, hard-sided containers.
-
Don't put out poison inside
Rodents that eat it can die inside the walls, and the smell lingers.
-

Rodent control questions
How quickly can you get rid of rats and mice?
Most rodent problems are under control within days of our first visit. Sealing the entry points and ongoing monitoring keep new ones from moving in.
How do mice and rats get into my house?
Through gaps you'd never notice: a mouse can squeeze through a hole the size of a dime, and a rat through one about the size of a quarter. Common entry points are roof returns, attic vents, gaps around pipes and utility lines, crawl space vents and the corners of garage doors.
Do you seal entry points?
Yes. Finding and sealing the gaps rodents use is part of our rodent control service, because trapping alone doesn't stop new ones from coming in.
Are rodent bait stations safe for kids and pets?
Our bait stations are locked and tamper-resistant, built so children and pets can't get to the bait, and they go outside the home.
What attracts rodents to my home?
Food, water and shelter. Open garbage, pet food, birdseed, clutter in the garage, firewood stacked against the house and overgrown landscaping all draw rodents in, especially when the weather turns cold.
Is rodent control included in your pest control plans?
Yes. Every one of our year-round plans includes rodent prevention and exterior rodent bait stations. If rodents are already inside, call us and we'll talk through what your home needs.
Do you offer a guarantee?
Yes. Our recurring services are guaranteed: if rodents come back between visits, so do we, at no extra cost.
Do you handle rodents for businesses?
Yes. We set up rodent monitoring programs for restaurants, warehouses, food facilities and other businesses, with the documentation audits and inspectors ask for. See our commercial pest control solutions.
