When you hear scratching in the walls at night, see something dart across the garage, or find droppings under the sink, it is usually a sign that rats or mice have moved in. They are quick, quiet, and very good at hiding, which makes them difficult to handle with store bought products alone.
You can expect clear estimates, a professional plan that is mindful of families and pets, and local, state licensed technicians who know the neighborhoods they serve. Service options can include a warranty or re service guarantee so you feel confident that the issue is under control.
Rodents are driven by shelter, warmth, food, and water. Warm climates allow rats and mice to stay active year round, and humidity helps support outdoor populations. Even short cold snaps can push them indoors, where they search for safe nesting spots in attics, walls, and crawlspaces.
Construction and neighborhood growth also play a role. When soil is turned, trees are removed, and old structures are demolished, rodents are forced to relocate. Nearby homes, garages, and sheds become attractive substitutes, especially when there are gaps or weak points in the exterior.
Easy access to food is another major driver. Unsecured trash, spilled bird seed, pet food left out overnight, vegetable gardens, and compost piles all make a property more inviting. Proximity to creeks, ponds, and low areas that hold water gives them reliable moisture as well.
A small noise today can become a major problem faster than most people realize. Rodents reproduce quickly. Once they find a safe nesting area and a reliable food source, their numbers can grow in a matter of weeks.
The longer rats and mice stay in your home, the more damage and contamination they can cause. They chew wires, insulation, wood, and stored belongings. Droppings and urine can contaminate food, shelving, and work surfaces, and odors grow stronger over time.
Waiting rarely makes rodents leave on their own. Early action helps prevent bigger damage, reduces health concerns, and keeps the problem from spreading into new parts of the house.
Step
1
Inspection and Identification
Every successful rodent program starts with a careful inspection. GroGreen technicians inspect the exterior perimeter, roofline, and key interior areas such as the attic, crawlspace, garage, and mechanical rooms.
We look for entry points, runways, droppings, nesting sites, and chewing damage, and we note conditions that might be drawing rodents in. Even very small gaps matter. Rats and mice can squeeze through openings much smaller than most people expect, including areas around utility lines, vents, and door thresholds.
During this step, we also identify which types of rodents are present, since roof rats, Norway rats, and house mice can behave differently and may require different strategies.
Step
2
Removal and Initial Control
Once we understand where rodents are entering and traveling, we design a removal plan tailored to your home, infestation level, and safety needs.
This often includes interior trapping in key travel routes and protected exterior bait stations where appropriate. In some homes, traps alone may be recommended indoors, with bait stations limited to the exterior. In others, a combination may be the most effective approach.
Our focus is on bringing the population down quickly while keeping children, pets, and non-targeted animals in mind. Devices are placed in protected locations or tamper resistant stations and checked on a schedule that matches the level of activity.
Step
3
Exclusion and Sealing
Rodent control is not complete until the openings they use are addressed. GroGreen technicians identify and seal entry points using rodent resistant materials.
Typical areas include gaps around plumbing and electrical penetrations, damaged or missing screens, vent openings, small spaces under doors and garage doors, and roof returns where lines or trim meet the roof.
By closing these access points, we make it much harder for new rodents to enter, even if there are still populations in the surrounding area. This is a key part of long term rodent prevention.
Step
4
Monitoring, Sanitation, and Prevention
Rodent control is a process, not a one time event. After the initial setup and sealing, we return as needed to re-check traps and stations, remove captured rodents, and adjust placements based on what we observe.
Where needed and requested, GroGreen can assist with parts of the cleanup. This may include removing carcasses, addressing accessible droppings, and applying appropriate deodorizing or sanitizing products to reduce odors and improve hygiene. For heavy contamination or damaged insulation, we can advise on next steps and recommend specialized cleanup options.
As activity drops off, we focus on prevention. Your technician will review habits and conditions that may attract rodents and offer practical suggestions on storage, sanitation, yard maintenance, and ongoing maintenance plans so you can keep your home as rodent resistant as possible.
Professional rodent control works best when it is paired with good habits at home. There are several steps you can take right away, and after treatment, to make your property less attractive to rats and mice.
Check doors and windows for gaps and install or upgrade weatherstripping and door sweeps where needed. Make sure window screens, foundation vents, and other openings are in good condition and fit securely.
Seal cracks and crevices in the foundation and exterior walls. Use steel wool or metal mesh in larger gaps and caulk or sealant in smaller cracks, especially around plumbing and electrical penetrations.
Store pantry items, pet food, and bird seed in airtight containers. Clean up crumbs and spills promptly, and avoid leaving pet food out overnight if rodents are a concern.
Fix leaks under sinks, around outdoor spigots, or in irrigation systems, and reduce standing water in low spots or containers where possible. Even small, consistent water sources can support rodent activity.
Keep mulch and dense vegetation slightly away from the foundation to reduce sheltered runways right against the house.
Trim tree branches and shrubs so they do not touch the roofline. Rodents often use branches as bridges to attics and upper stories.
Make sure outdoor trash cans have tight fitting lids and that compost piles and bird feeders are managed so they do not provide a continuous food source.
In fall and winter, rodents look for warm, protected spaces. This is the time to emphasize attic and crawlspace inspections and focus on exclusion work before temperatures drop further.
In spring and summer, outdoor populations grow as vegetation fills in. Emphasize yard trimming, storage organization, and sanitation to keep rodents from nesting close to the home.
During extended rainy periods or in areas with frequent moisture, rodents may seek higher, drier spaces inside structures. Paying attention to drainage, leaks, and low lying storage areas can help reduce pressure.
GroGreen’s rodent control services target the most common species that affect homes and businesses in our service areas, including:
Rats, such as roof rats that favor higher areas like attics and rafters, and Norway rats that tend to burrow and stay closer to ground level.
Mice, including house mice that thrive in and around structures and field mice that move between outdoor cover and indoor nesting sites.
If you are experiencing activity from other small rodents or nuisance wildlife, our team can evaluate the situation, explain what we can handle directly, and recommend or refer to specialized services when needed.
The most effective approach combines three elements. Remove rodents that are already inside, close off the entry points they use, and reduce food, water, and shelter that attract them. Professional service from GroGreen adds expert inspection, targeted devices, and long term prevention to that basic strategy.
A typical service starts with a full inspection, followed by a customized plan that can include traps, protected exterior bait stations, exclusion work, and scheduled follow up visits. Depending on the level of activity, cleanup and sanitation steps may also be included or recommended.
Cost depends on the size of the property, the severity of the infestation, and how much exclusion or cleanup is required. After inspection, GroGreen provides a clear explanation of what is needed and an upfront price so you know what to expect before work begins.
Professionals use a combination of methods. These may include strategically placed traps, protected bait stations outdoors, and sealing entry points. The exact mix is chosen based on where rats are nesting and traveling and what is safest and most effective for your home.
The fastest way is a focused plan that targets where mice are actually moving and nesting. Properly placed traps, combined with sealing active entry points and improving sanitation, solves an infestation much more quickly than scattered, occasional trapping.
Rats and mice are looking for food, water, and shelter. Gaps in the exterior, accessible trash, pet food, bird seed, cluttered storage, and overgrown vegetation all make a property more inviting. Once they find an opening, they often stay and nest nearby.
Mice can breed several times a year, with multiple pups in each litter. That means a small issue can grow into a significant infestation in a short period of time if it is not addressed. Early action keeps numbers down and limits damage.
GroGreen designs rodent programs with your household in mind. Traps and stations are placed where children and pets cannot reach them, and any products used are handled according to strict label directions. Your technician will explain how to keep everyone safe while treatment is in progress.
Service options may include follow up visits and warranty style coverage for ongoing rodent control. After inspecting your property, we explain which program fits best and how long coverage lasts so you know exactly what is included.
We can help with aspects of cleanup related to rodent activity and advise you on next steps for heavier contamination or damaged insulation. In many cases, we can coordinate or recommend specialized services if full insulation replacement is needed.
If you are hearing scratching in the walls, finding droppings, or simply feel like something is not right, it is better to investigate now than to hope it goes away. GroGreen is ready to help with professional rodent control that removes rats and mice and focuses on long term prevention.
