Complete Rodent Management Solutions for Your Property
Unlike general pest control companies, our rodent control specialists are specifically trained in the advanced techniques needed to effectively eliminate and exclude rodent populations from your home. We understand that rodent control requires a different approach than other pests, which is why we use specialized strategies tailored to rodent behavior and biology.
Our rodent control process includes:
- Thorough property inspection to identify entry points, nesting areas, and damage
- Species identification to determine the most effective treatment approach
- Customized trapping systems strategically placed along rodent pathways
- Comprehensive exclusion work to seal all potential entry points
- Sanitation and decontamination of affected areas
- Preventative recommendations to keep your home rodent-free
We don’t rely on temporary solutions like repetitive poison treatments that merely manage populations. Instead, we focus on complete elimination and permanent prevention through our proven 32-point inspection and exclusion system.
Common Rodent Problems in Orange County
Orange County homes face unique challenges when it comes to rodents. The mild Southern California climate combined with the suburban/urban landscape creates ideal conditions for several rodent species:
Roof Rats
Roof rats (Rattus rattus) are the most prevalent rodent pest in Orange County. These agile climbers prefer elevated areas and frequently enter buildings using utility lines, tree branches, and fence tops as runways. They’re most active at night and commonly nest in attics, wall voids, and dense vegetation.
Norway Rats
Though less common than roof rats in our region, Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) are larger, more aggressive rodents that typically burrow near buildings and inhabit lower levels of structures. They’re excellent swimmers and can enter homes through damaged drain pipes and sewer systems.
House Mice
Small but prolific breeders, house mice (Mus musculus) can squeeze through openings as small as a dime. They adapt quickly to indoor environments and can establish nests practically anywhere in your home, from wall voids to kitchen cabinets.
Deer Mice
These native wildlife rodents occasionally enter homes, especially in areas adjacent to open spaces or canyons. While less common than other rodent invaders, deer mice pose significant health risks as carriers of hantavirus.
Health Risks and Property Damage
Rodents aren’t just a nuisance—they present serious concerns for your family’s health and your home’s structural integrity:
Health Concerns
- Carry numerous diseases including salmonellosis, rat-bite fever, and hantavirus
- Contaminate food surfaces with urine, feces, and hair
- Trigger allergies and asthma through their waste products
- Bring parasites like fleas, ticks, and mites into your home
Property Damage
- Chew through electrical wiring, creating fire hazards
- Damage water pipes, potentially causing leaks and water damage
- Destroy insulation, reducing energy efficiency
- Gnaw on structural elements, compromising building integrity
- Ruin stored personal belongings, furniture, and irreplaceable items
Our Professional Rodent Control Process
1. Comprehensive Inspection
Our licensed technicians begin with a detailed evaluation of your entire property, identifying all rodent entry points, nesting areas, travel routes, and damage. We’ll also determine the species present and the extent of the infestation.
2. Customized Treatment Plan
Based on our findings, we develop a targeted plan that addresses your specific rodent issues. We’ll explain our recommendations and approach, ensuring you understand each step of the process.
3. Exclusion and Sealing
The key to permanent rodent control is preventing access to your home. Our technicians will seal all entry points using heavy-gauge metal screens, copper mesh, concrete, and other rodent-proof materials that provide lasting protection.

We strategically place specialized trapping systems to humanely capture and remove the existing rodent population. Our technicians monitor and maintain these systems until all rodent activity has ceased.
5. Sanitation and Restoration
After removing the rodents, we clean and sanitize affected areas to eliminate harmful pathogens and odors. We can also restore damaged insulation and recommend repairs for other affected areas.
