The Problem

Texas Rodents Carry Disease and Cause Serious Property Damage

Texas hosts three primary pest rodent species: the Norway rat (a burrowing species common in older urban neighborhoods in Houston and Dallas), the roof rat (an agile climber that nests in attics and palms, prevalent across coastal and southern Texas), and the house mouse (the most common indoor rodent statewide, able to enter through a gap just 6mm wide).

Rodents contaminate food, spread Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis, and cause fires by gnawing through electrical wiring. A single pair of house mice can produce up to 60 offspring per year. Early intervention is critical.

Our rodent control program covers three phases: exclusion (sealing all entry points with wire mesh, steel wool, and caulk), population control (snap traps and bait stations placed in key activity zones), and follow-up inspections to confirm total elimination.

FAQs

Common Questions

How do rodents get into Texas homes?

Rats can enter through gaps as small as a half-inch and mice through a 6mm gap. Common entry points include gaps around pipes, dryer vents, damaged soffits, garage doors, and foundation cracks. Our inspection identifies every point of entry.

Is rodent bait dangerous to pets and children?

We use tamper-resistant bait stations that physically block access to bait by children and most pets. We will advise you on placement and any precautions based on your household.

How long does it take to get rid of rats in Texas?

Most infestations are fully controlled within 2-3 weeks. A single Norway rat family can be eliminated faster. Roof rat infestations in attics may take 3-4 weeks due to the size of the nesting area.

Can I seal rodent entry points myself?

You can block obvious large gaps with steel wool as a temporary measure. Professional exclusion requires identifying all gaps including those hidden behind insulation, inside wall cavities, and under slab foundations — areas that require inspection equipment.
