Rodent Control Services for Homeowners — Mice & Rats
Scratching in the walls at night, gnaw marks on stored boxes, and droppings in the pantry are all signs that mice or rats have moved into your home. As outdoor temperatures drop each fall, rodents actively search for warm indoor shelter. Call Pest Control 911 connects homeowners with local professionals who locate entry points, remove existing rodents, and help prevent re-entry.

Signs You May Need Rodent Control
- Scratching sounds: Noise in walls, attics, or ceilings, especially at night.
- Droppings: Small, dark droppings found in pantries, drawers, or along baseboards.
- Gnaw marks: Chewed wiring, cardboard, or wood trim near entry points.
- Grease marks: Dark smudges along walls and baseboards where rodents repeatedly travel.
Could It Be Something Other Than a Rodent?
Noises overhead during the day, or thumping that sounds heavier than a mouse, often turn out to be squirrels or raccoons, which need a wildlife provider rather than rodent treatment — see wildlife removal. Rodents around a home can also draw snakes looking for food; if you have seen one, see snake removal.
Why This Is Common in Homes
Cold winters drive mice and rats to seek shelter inside homes, garages, and outbuildings. Older foundations, gaps around utility lines, and unsealed crawl spaces common in older housing all provide easy rodent entry points.
