Rodent Control

Rodents carry diseases, contaminate food, damage insulation, and chew through electrical wiring, creating fire hazards. If you're hearing scratching in the walls or finding droppings in your kitchen, you need professional intervention fast. At Armory Pest Defense, we don't just set traps and leave.  Our technicians conduct a full property inspection to identify entry points, nesting areas, and food sources. We develop a multi-phase plan that includes trapping, sanitation recommendations, and structural exclusion. We seal gaps, cracks, and openings that rodents use to enter your home, often as small as a quarter inch. Our exclusion work ensures that once rodents are removed, they stay out.

How do I know if I have mice or rats?

Common signs include droppings (small dark pellets), gnaw marks on food packaging or baseboards, scratching sounds in walls or ceilings, and nesting material like shredded paper or insulation.

How do rodents get into my house?

Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as a dime, and rats through openings the size of a quarter. Common entry points include pipe penetrations, garage door seals, foundation cracks, and roof vents.

Do you use poison bait?

We primarily use snap traps and exclusion methods for interior rodent control. Bait stations may be used in exterior applications. We always prioritize methods that are safe for your family and pets.

How long does rodent control take?

Active trapping typically takes 1-2 weeks. Exclusion work can be completed in one visit for most homes. We include follow-up monitoring to confirm the problem is resolved.

Can rodents cause house fires?

Yes. Rodents chew on electrical wiring, which is a leading cause of unexplained house fires. If you suspect rodent activity near electrical systems, call us immediately.
