Service Overview

What Rodent Control Covers

Rodent control covers inspection, trapping or baiting, and entry-point exclusion for the three species most commonly found in New Braunfels homes and businesses: roof rats, Norway rats, and house mice. Each behaves differently — roof rats are excellent climbers that typically enter through rooflines and attic vents, while house mice can squeeze through gaps as small as a quarter-inch near ground level — so correctly identifying which one you're dealing with changes where we focus treatment and exclusion work.

Trapping or baiting alone only removes what's already inside. The part that actually stops the problem long-term is finding and sealing every entry point being used, which is why our process always includes both steps rather than treating them as optional add-ons.

Why Choose Us

Rodent Control Done Right the First Time

A lot of rodent control stops at "we set some traps." Here's what we think that's missing.

  • Texas Department of Agriculture licensed technicians trained on Comal County's specific pest pressure
  • A clear explanation of the treatment plan before we start, in plain language, not technical jargon
  • Follow-up included as part of the service, not sold as a separate add-on

Why It's Worth It

Beyond Just "Rodent Gone"

  • Prevents Property Damage. Chewed wiring and insulation get expensive fast if left alone.
  • Reduces Health Risk. Droppings and contamination are a genuine sanitation issue.
  • Actual Exclusion, Not Just Traps. Sealing entry points is what stops the cycle.

Common Questions

Rodent Control FAQ

Are your rodent control methods humane?
We use a combination of trapping and exclusion, and we're happy to discuss the specific approach if you have a preference — some households want live-trapping where practical, others prioritize the fastest resolution. We'll walk through the options during the inspection.
How long does it take to fully clear a rodent problem?
It depends on how established the activity is and how many entry points need to be sealed, but most situations resolve over a few visits — an initial treatment followed by monitoring to confirm no new activity, plus the exclusion work that actually prevents a repeat problem.
Is rodent control safe for pets?
Yes, when bait placement is handled correctly — we specifically position bait stations and traps away from areas pets have access to, and we'll walk you through exactly where everything is placed before we finish the visit.
Why do rodents keep coming back even after I've set traps myself?
Traps address the rodents that are already inside, but if the entry point they used is still open, new rodents will keep finding their way in. That's the piece store-bought traps don't solve, and it's the part we focus on just as much as removal.
