Remove Rodents and Reduce Re-Entry With Practical Exclusion Guidance

Rodents can cause serious problems fast. Mice and rats can contaminate food, damage insulation, chew wiring, and create unpleasant odors in walls, attics, and crawlspaces. If you are hearing scratching at night, finding droppings, or noticing gnaw marks, it is important to act quickly. Silver Exterminators provides rodent control and exclusion services designed to remove active rodents and help keep them from coming back.

Effective rodent control is more than setting traps. The long-term solution is to identify how rodents are getting in, reduce the conditions that attract them, and address entry points so new rodents do not replace the ones removed.

Common Signs of Rodent Activity

Rodents often stay hidden, especially during the early stages. These are some of the most common signs that point to a mouse or rat problem:

  • Droppings in cabinets, pantries, garages, or utility areas
  • Scratching sounds in walls, ceilings, attics, or crawlspaces
  • Gnaw marks on wood, plastic, or wiring
  • Grease rub marks along baseboards or walls
  • Nesting material such as shredded paper, insulation, or fabric
  • Pet food disappearing or torn packaging
  • Unpleasant odors in enclosed spaces

Why Rodents Keep Getting In

Rodents can squeeze through surprisingly small openings. Many infestations start when a property has easy access to shelter, warmth, and food. During inspection, we look for common entry and attraction points such as:

  • Gaps around garage doors, exterior doors, and thresholds
  • Openings around pipes, utility lines, and HVAC penetrations
  • Unscreened vents or damaged crawlspace access areas
  • Gaps where roofing meets the structure or fascia and soffit issues
  • Cluttered storage areas that provide nesting space
  • Outdoor food sources such as unsecured trash or pet feeding stations

Our Rodent Control Process

1) Inspect and identify

We inspect the property to confirm activity, identify the likely rodent type, locate high-traffic areas, and find entry points. We also look for nesting locations and conditions that may be attracting rodents.

2) Trapping and removal plan

Based on what we find, we set up a trapping plan that targets the highest activity zones. We focus on effective placement and a clear strategy rather than a random approach, and we provide guidance on what to expect during the process.

3) Exclusion recommendations to help prevent return

Exclusion is the key to long-term results. We provide clear recommendations for sealing entry points and reducing rodent access. In many cases, addressing a few key openings can make a major difference in preventing repeat activity.

Exclusion and Prevention Tips

Rodent prevention often comes down to limiting access and removing attractants. These are common steps we recommend:

  • Seal gaps around doors, utility penetrations, and vents
  • Store food and pet food in sealed containers
  • Keep trash secured with tight-fitting lids
  • Reduce clutter in garages, attics, and storage areas
  • Trim vegetation away from the structure and remove debris piles
  • Address moisture issues that can attract rodents and the insects they feed on
