Overview What is Forterra's mouse control service?
Forterra Mouse Control in Dallas starts with a free interior inspection, because on housing this old the gaps are rarely where people expect. Attached garages, recut utility penetrations and pier-and-beam skirting get closed with chew-proof materials, traps clear what is already inside, and the quarterly plan holds the perimeter afterwards.
Your office
Forterra Dallas.
The Dallas office sits inside the city it services and covers forty-three cities and neighborhoods from there, which is why a route is a weekly run rather than a drive-in. W-2 technicians, never subcontractors, every visit logged to the property, and the ★ 5.0 rating across 544 Google reviews belongs to this office alone.

On the ground in Dallas
Attached garages and utility gaps.
Mice in the Dallas office's territory usually arrive through the garage. Attached garages on older homes have a door that no longer meets the slab evenly, a gap at the corner seal, and a wall into the house carrying pipes and cabling that were added over the years. That is a sheltered route from outside to inside that never gets looked at because the garage is not really thought of as part of the house.
Density plays a part too. Terraced or closely spaced properties share fence lines and alley runs, and a population working a block does not stop at one building. Trapping alone in that situation just makes room for the next one, which is why we seal first. A mouse needs a gap about the width of a pencil, so the inspection is looking for openings most people would walk past. Interior inspections are free.

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.
Older Dallas homes leak in more places than a trap line can cover, so removal and sealing run together. Traps on the active runs, chew-proof closure at the garage wall and utility entries, and a building that stops resupplying itself.
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 interior inspection is free and it is the only step that decides anything. On this housing stock it usually finds the garage wall rather than the kitchen, and you get a written quote inside 24 hours before committing to any of it.
- 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 in Dallas, answered plainly.
If you don't see yours, call (972) 349-1621 or text us, a human will answer.
Almost certainly. Mice are not solitary and one seen in daylight usually means a population established enough to be competing. In older Dallas housing the attached garage is where they are getting in, so that is where we look first.
Droppings tell you quickly. Mouse droppings are rice-grain sized; rat droppings are closer to an olive pit. Sound helps too, since rats in an older Dallas home are usually in the attic and mice are in walls and cabinets.
No. That is a persistent myth. A Dallas house offers food, water and warmth year round, and a population that established in autumn has no reason to leave in June. They breed through the summer instead.
Exterior stations are locked and anchored so children and pets cannot access the bait. Interior work is trapping rather than bait, precisely so nothing is left accessible indoors. We show you where everything is placed.
The free interior inspection sets the price, because it depends on how the building is failing. On older Dallas housing the figure follows how many decades of penetrations need closing rather than how many mice there are.
