Rodent Control in North Texas.

Custom-quoted by the property, typically $500 to $3,000. A small one-story house with one obvious entry point sits at the low end. A multi-story home with multiple roof and ground entry points sits at the high end. The free in-person inspection is what makes the quote real; we don't price exclusion blind.

We physically seal entry points with materials rats and mice cannot chew through, copper mesh, galvanized hardware cloth, steel flashing, and concrete or masonry sealant where appropriate. Foam alone is not exclusion, they chew through expanding foam in days. Our work is durable and backed against re-entry through the points we sealed.

In the attic, yes, absolutely. The building gets sealed first, then everything sealed inside gets trapped out, and the attic is one of the most common places we set traps. Inside walls, no. Traps go where a technician can reach and check them. If your visitor is a squirrel or raccoon rather than a rat or mouse, that's wildlife work, and we'll point you to a good operator.

Because it can be expensive, and not everyone wants or needs it. We typically recommend attic sanitation for medium to heavy infestations, meaning cleanup of droppings and nesting debris with antimicrobial treatment, quoted separately by attic size and contamination level. Insulation removal and replacement is insulation-contractor work, not something we perform, and we say so plainly.

After exclusion, we install tamper-resistant exterior bait stations along the foundation and at high-pressure points. They catch rodent pressure from neighboring properties before it tries to find a new way in. Stations are serviced quarterly. This is the Monitor stage of our methodology and is included in the exclusion quote unless you opt out.

Most jobs finish in one day. A small home with two or three entry points may take a half day; a larger home with attic-level work and multiple ground entries may take a full day or two. The inspection establishes the scope, and your quote tells you the exact timeline.

Yes. Roof rats are excellent climbers and enter through attic and roof-level penetrations, vents, gable openings, soffit gaps. Norway rats are ground-level burrowers and enter through foundation cracks, garage doors, weep holes, and utility penetrations. Most DFW homes have one or the other depending on neighborhood, but our approach inspects both vectors regardless.

No. Forterra rodent control covers rats and mice only. Squirrels, raccoons, possums, and other wildlife are a separate trade with different tools and skills. We're glad to refer to a wildlife specialist.

If a rodent re-enters through a point we sealed, we come back and re-do that exclusion at no charge. If a new entry point opens up, say a contractor cuts a new penetration in your roof, that's new scope, but we'll inspect it free.
