Rodent Control & Exclusion

Mouse and rat work in Beltsville starts with figuring out which one you have, because the answer changes the whole scope. House mice leave rice-grain droppings and nest in insulation; Norway rats leave blunt-ended droppings the size of an olive pit and dig burrows along fence lines and under sheds. The inspection covers rim joists, crawl space vents, garage door corner seals, dryer and bath vents, utility penetrations, and the gap under siding where it meets block.

We seal what a mouse can pass through — roughly a quarter-inch opening — using materials rodents cannot chew back out, then place tamper-resistant bait or traps in the runways found during inspection. Interior work includes attic and crawl space checks, since a mouse population in a Vansville rancher is usually living below the floor, not in the kitchen. Rodent jobs run $425 to $1,250 for mice and $550 to $1,600 for rats, with a verification visit built into the price.
