Mice Exterminator in North Texas
Droppings the size of rice grains along the stove line mean mice, not rats. As the mice exterminator North Texas families rely on, we seal dime-sized gaps, trap indoors, and keep bait boxes working outside.

Overview What is Forterra's mouse control service?
Forterra Mouse Control runs seal-first. The free interior inspection maps every dime-sized gap, chew-resistant materials close them, traps clear what stayed behind, and bait boxes outside get serviced with the regular quarterly stop. Mice breed faster than rats, so the sealing standard is tighter and the follow-up sooner. The full job is priced from the inspection, small trap-and-seal work staying modest while a complete exclusion runs into the low thousands. Money-back guarantee, TPCL #850046.

Signs of mice before you ever see one.
A house mouse weighs less than an ounce and works at night, so evidence arrives long before a sighting. Any of these signs means more than one mouse.
01
Rice-sized droppings
Mouse droppings are dark, pointed and the size of a grain of rice, concentrated where they feed and travel, pantry shelves, drawer corners, under the sink. Fresh droppings are dark and soft; faded ones mean history. Rat droppings are several times larger.
Look here Pantry shelves · drawers · under sinks
02
Scratching in the walls at night
Light scratching, gnawing or skittering inside walls or the ceiling in the evening hours is mice commuting between the nest and food. The sound is fainter and faster than a rat's, and it usually starts within an hour of the lights going out.
Look here Wall voids · ceilings · behind kitchen cabinets
03
Chewed food packaging
Small ragged holes gnawed in the corners of cereal boxes, rice bags and pet food sacks, with crumbs and shavings left behind. A mouse feeds fifteen to twenty times a night, so it works close to the pantry, and everything it touches is contaminated.
Look here Pantries · pet food storage · garage shelves
04
Nests of shredded material
A softball-sized wad of shredded paper, fabric and insulation tucked in a drawer, behind an appliance or in a garage box is a mouse nursery. With up to ten litters a year, one occupied nest is an infestation on a schedule.

Where mice actually get in
Every dime-sized gap, found and sealed.
Mice squeeze through openings the width of a dime and climb brick without effort, so a home that looks sealed rarely is. These are the nine routes we check on every DFW house, sealed with materials mice cannot chew.
● Inspected entry point
▲ Above grade Climbers and high entries
▼ Below grade Ground-level entries
- 01
Roof / ridge vents
Mice ride fence lines and shrubs to the roof, then slip under ridge vents with worn flashing. Sealed from underneath with chew-proof mesh.
- 02
Gable & attic vents
Standard vent screening stops birds, not mice. Re-screened with 1/4 inch galvanized hardware cloth they cannot pass or chew.
- 03
Soffit / fascia gaps
Where the roof meets the wall, framing gaps open with age. A dime-sized opening is a mouse door; these get sealed with metal flashing.
- 04
Roofline / dormer junctions
Dormer, valley and chimney flashing joints leave finger-width gaps into the attic, where the nesting insulation is.
- 05
HVAC penetrations
Refrigerant lines and condensate drains pass through oversized holes in the wall. Packed with copper mesh and sealed with silicone.
- 06
Dryer vent
Plastic vent flaps warp and stick open, and mice chew the rest. Replaced or armored with a steel sleeve and working damper.
- 07
Garage door bottom
A worn weatherstrip corner leaves exactly the gap a mouse needs, and the garage's clutter and pet food do the rest. Replaced with a rodent-resistant seal.
- 08
Foundation cracks / weep holes
Brick weep holes are mouse-sized by design. Open weeps get stainless screens that keep mice out and let the wall breathe.
- 09
Sewer / utility penetrations
Where plumbing and conduit enter the foundation, builders leave the largest gaps on the house. Packed tight and mortared closed.

Why traps come with sealing
Remove the mice, then close the house.
Mice re-enter faster than any trap can clear them, so removal and exclusion happen together, traps on the runs, seals in the gaps, and a house that stays closed.
Stage 01
01
Seal gaps
The house gets closed first, every dime-sized gap.
Every entry point from the inspection gets closed with chew-proof materials matched to each gap. Sealing first turns an open-ended problem into a finite one. Whatever is still inside is all there will ever be.
Stage 02
02
Trap inside
Whatever was sealed inside gets trapped out.
With the routes closed, trapping clears the remaining mice quickly, on the runs they actually use. Most homes go quiet within a week or two of the seal.
Stage 03
03
Maintain outside
Exterior bait boxes keep the population down.
Tamper-resistant bait boxes on the exterior knock down the surrounding population before it finds the next gap, renewed on the quarterly rotation.

Why exclusion matters, David Dance, Forterra
"A mouse needs a dime of space and a warm wall, that is the whole entry ticket. We take the ticket away. Sealing done right turns trapping into a short cleanup instead of a subscription you pay forever."

The mouse job
Forterra's mouse process, step by step.
The free interior inspection opens every mouse job; the written price follows the same day, and the sealing work leads the plan.
- 01
Free interior inspection
Kitchen, garage, attic and the full perimeter. We confirm mice rather than rats from the droppings, map the active runs and find every entry point.
- 02
Transparent quote
You get the trap plan, the sealing scope and a firm number in writing the same day as the inspection, with trapping and sealing priced as separate lines.
- 03
Seal and trap
Entry points are sealed shut first, then traps clear whatever was closed inside. The order matters. Sealed first means a finite number of mice to remove.
- 04
Quarterly bait-box upkeep
Outside, bait boxes hold the surrounding pressure down, serviced as part of each quarterly visit so the sealing never gets stress-tested.
Frequently asked
Questions, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (817) 665-6527 or text us, a human will answer.
Almost certainly. Mice are nocturnal and shy, so the one you saw is the overflow, not the population. A single female can produce up to ten litters a year with four to eight pups each, which is how a couple of stowaways becomes a full infestation in one season. Treat one sighting as the start of the clock.
Size the evidence. Mouse droppings are rice-sized; rat droppings run half an inch or more. Gnaw holes the size of a dime with light scratching sounds point to mice; fist-sized holes and heavier thumping point to rats. The distinction matters because the trap sizes and the whole plan change with it, and the free inspection settles it.
Not in North Texas. Our winters are mild enough that mice stay active year-round, and a house with food, water and nesting insulation beats the outdoors in any season. Populations only move in one direction until the food is cut off, the mice are removed and the entry points are sealed.
Yes. Wherever we use bait at all, it is inside locked, anchored, tamper-resistant stations that children and pets cannot open, placed out of reach in attics, garages and exterior runs. Inside living spaces we rely on traps placed behind and beneath, never open bait. You get a clear walkthrough of the work.
Pricing follows the free inspection rather than a flat teaser rate, so the number reflects your actual house. Small trap-and-seal jobs stay modest; a full nine-point exclusion spans the same $500 to $3,000 range as other rodent work, itemized before anything is signed.
