“They did a great job finding and filling all the little holes a mouse could get through.”
John Bridges, Google review
Matt or a named tech walks your home with you and shows you the signs and every way in. No pressure.
Free walkthrough. If you don’t need it, we’ll say so.
Signs You Have Rats or Mice in Your Fresno Home
Most people hear them before they see them. Or an HVAC tech finds droppings in the attic and tells them to call someone.
- Scratching or running in ceilings, walls and the attic, mostly at night
- Droppings in the garage, pantry, cabinets or insulation
- Chewed wires, AC ducts, flex water lines or food bags
- Grease marks along walls and beams
- Nests of shredded paper or insulation behind stored boxes
- A stale smell in closed spaces
One mouse in the garage may be passing through. Noise every night means a nest. The walkthrough tells you which.
Why Traps Alone Don't Fix a Rodent Problem
Traps catch the rats and mice already inside. They don’t close the gap they came in through, so the next ones walk right in. An electronic trap from the hardware store won’t close a hole in the eaves either.
Already paid for rodent control and still hearing them? A way in is still open. We find it.
For how we seal, and with what, see rodent exclusion.

How Our Fresno Rat and Mouse Removal Works
Traps for the rats and mice inside. Metal over the gaps they use. Then we come back until it’s quiet.
Rodent Inspection and Walkthrough
Matt or a named tech walks the property with you. We look for droppings, gnaw marks, nests and the routes they use: garage, foundation, pipe and AC-line gaps, roofline, attic and crawl space. You see what we find and get the full price before any work starts.
Trap the Rats or Mice Already Inside
Traps go where the signs are, not at random. Any bait follows California law and the label.
Seal the Openings That Let Them In
We close the gaps with metal they can’t chew through. Not foam: rats chew right through it.
Check Back Until It's Quiet
We come back to check and empty the traps until the activity stops.

How Much Does Rodent Control Cost in Fresno?
Rodent control cost in Fresno depends on how many entry points need sealing, how hard they are to reach and how many trap checks it takes. A mouse in the garage is a smaller job than roof rats in the attic with several gaps along the roofline.
Ask any company whether sealing, trap checks and cleanup are in the price. They often aren’t.
Sealing now costs less than a chewed AC duct or water line later. You get the price at the free walkthrough, before we start.

Rats and Mice We Deal With Around Fresno
Roof Rats: Often Above the Ceiling
Roof rats climb fences, wires and tree branches, and come in through eaves, vents and roofline gaps. Noise overhead usually means roof rats in the attic.
Norway Rats: Often Close to the Ground
Norway rats dig. They come in low, through foundations, garages and crawl spaces.
House Mice: Small Openings, Hidden Nests
House mice fit through a gap about 1/4 inch wide, the size of a dime, and nest in cabinets, wall voids and stored boxes.
How Long Does Rodent Removal Take?
Traps go in on the first visit. Noise usually fades over 1 to 2 weeks as they catch the rest. Still hearing them after that? Call, and we come back.
What About Rat Poison, Children and Pets?
California restricts several anticoagulant rat poisons; it hasn’t banned them all. AB 1788, AB 1322 and AB 2552 limit certain products and uses, with exceptions. See the California Department of Pesticide Regulation’s guidance.
That’s why we start with traps and sealing, not poison. Tell us about kids and pets at the walkthrough, and we’ll show you what goes where.
Rodent Damage and Droppings: What to Do Now
Don’t sweep or vacuum dry droppings. The CDC says to disinfect them first, so you don’t stir contaminated dust into the air. Chewed ducts and wiring may need an HVAC tech or electrician once the rodents are out; we’ll point out what we see.
You don’t need to know if it’s a roof rat, a Norway rat or a mouse before you call.
- We find the signs and every way in
- We explain the work we recommend
- You get the full price before any work starts
- We tell you if you don’t need it

Frequently Asked Questions About Rodent Control in Fresno
What Is the Most Effective Rodent Control Method?
Trapping plus sealing. A rodent exterminator finds the signs and entry points, removes the rodents inside and closes the way in. Traps or poison alone usually fail.
Can an Exterminator Get Rid of Mice Permanently?
They can remove the mice you have and seal the gaps they used. New gaps can open over time, from storms, settling or a chewed vent.
What Is the Cheapest Way to Get Rid of Rats or Mice?
For one mouse, a trap. If they keep coming back, sealing the gap costs less than trapping forever.
Is It Safe to Vacuum Rodent Droppings?
No. It stirs contaminated dust into the air. Disinfect first, as the CDC advises.
What If I Still Hear Rats After the First Visit?
Call us. Traps may still be catching the last ones, or another gap needs sealing. We come back to check.
Do Ultrasonic Repellents or Electronic Traps Solve an Infestation?
No. Electronic traps catch some rodents but don’t close gaps. Ultrasonic devices don’t replace finding and sealing the way in.
When Is Rodent Season in Fresno?
Rodents get in year-round. More come indoors as nights cool in fall and winter.
