Rodent Control

Rodents out, and sealed out.

Rats and mice contaminate food, chew through wiring, and breed fast. We don't just trap the ones inside, we find how they're getting in and seal them out for good.

Why You Have Rodents

Food, gaps, and a warm place to nest.

Food and water

Crumbs, pet food, trash, and even a leaky pipe give rodents everything they need to settle in and stay.

Easy entry points

Mice fit through a gap the size of a dime, and rodents gnaw small openings into large ones.

Shelter and weather

Cold weather and clutter drive rodents indoors looking for a warm, hidden place to nest and breed.

How RAYMAX Treats Rodents

Trap, seal, and keep them out.

01

Inspect inside and out

We find active areas, nesting spots, and the entry points letting rodents in, from the roofline to the foundation.

02

Build a plan

A targeted plan combining trapping, baiting where appropriate, and exclusion to address the whole problem.

03

Remove and exclude

We reduce the active population and seal the gaps they use, because trapping alone never keeps them out.

04

Follow up and protect

Rodents are persistent and breed quickly. We follow up to confirm they're gone, and if they return between visits, so do we, at no extra cost.

Know the Signs

Think you may have a rodent infestation?

New gnaw marks on furniture, wiring, and items near entry points
Small pellet-like droppings and a musky urine odor in hidden areas
Shredded paper, fabric, or plant material tucked into secluded spots
Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings, or the attic at night

Spotting these signs? Call a RAYMAX Specialist at 800-893-1124 and we'll find the source fast.

Why Do I Have Rodents?

What draws them in, and why trapping alone fails.

Rodents are fast breeders and expert hiders, which makes them tough to clear on your own. Tap any topic to learn more.

Food and water access+

Rodents come indoors for an easy meal. Crumbs, unsealed pantry items, pet food left out, and accessible trash all keep them fed, and even a small water source like a leaky pipe or pet bowl helps them stay.

Try this: Store food and pet food in sealed containers, take out the trash regularly, and fix any leaks that give rodents a water source.
Easy entry points+

Mice can squeeze through a gap the size of a dime, and rats only need a little more. They also gnaw small cracks into larger openings, so the holes around pipes, vents, rooflines, and the foundation are open invitations.

Try this: Walk your home's exterior and seal gaps with steel wool and caulk. Rodents chew through foam and plastic, so use materials they can't gnaw.
Shelter, clutter, and weather+

When it gets cold, rodents look for warm, hidden places to nest, and clutter in garages, attics, and storage areas gives them exactly that. The more undisturbed hiding spots a home offers, the more inviting it is.

Try this: Declutter storage areas, keep firewood and debris away from the house, and trim back vegetation touching the walls or roof.
Can I do it myself?+

For a single mouse, a few traps and good sanitation might do it. But rodents breed quickly and hide in walls, attics, and crawl spaces, so trapping alone rarely keeps up. The real fix is exclusion, sealing every entry point, which is hard to do thoroughly without knowing where to look. There are also health risks, since droppings and urine can carry disease.

Heads up: If you keep catching rodents or hear them in the walls, the population is established and DIY won't keep pace. An inspection saves you time and frustration.
When to call a professional+

Call a pro if you see droppings or gnaw marks, hear scratching in the walls, or keep catching rodents without the problem ending. Rats and mice contaminate food and chew wiring, which is a real fire risk, so a quick response matters. A professional combines trapping, exclusion, and prevention to solve the whole problem, not just remove the rodents you can see.

Worth knowing: Trapping without sealing entry points just makes room for the next ones. Lasting rodent control always includes exclusion.
Common Questions

Answers before you even ask.

Why do rodents keep coming back after I set traps?+
Traps remove the rodents inside, but if the entry points stay open, new ones simply move in. Lasting control means sealing the gaps they use, which is the part most DIY efforts skip.
Are rodents actually dangerous?+
They can be. Droppings and urine can carry disease, and rodents chew through wiring, which is a genuine fire hazard. That's why a fast, thorough response is worth it rather than waiting it out.
Are treatments safe for my family and pets?+
Yes. We place traps and any treatments carefully and responsibly, with pets and children in mind. Your technician will explain exactly what's being used and any precautions before they leave.
How long does it take to get rid of them?+
You'll usually see activity drop quickly once we trap and seal, but because rodents breed fast, follow-up matters to confirm they're fully gone and none slipped back in.
