Rodent Control & Exclusion
Complete rat and mouse programs: removal, entry-point exclusion, and attic sanitation — guaranteed.
Understanding Your Rodent Problem
Mice squeeze through gaps the width of a pencil; rats need only a quarter-sized hole. That's why trapping alone never ends a rodent problem — new rodents follow the scent trails of the last ones straight through the same openings. Real rodent control means sealing the building.
GreenShield's rodent program combines strategic trapping and stations with full-perimeter exclusion work: sealing entry points with rodent-proof materials, from foundation gaps to roof returns. We finish with attic inspection and sanitation options, so the evidence — and the odor that attracts new rodents — is gone.
Signs of Infestation
- Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls, ceilings, or the attic at night
- Droppings along baseboards, in the pantry, under sinks, or in the garage
- Gnaw marks on wiring, food packaging, or structural wood
- Greasy rub marks along walls where rodents travel
- Pets staring intently at walls or appliances
The Real Cost of Waiting
What this pest does to your property, health, and peace of mind when treatment is delayed.
Electrical Fire Hazard
Rodents gnaw constantly to wear down their teeth — and chewed wiring is implicated in an estimated 20–25% of fires of unknown origin.
Serious Disease
Rats and mice spread hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonellosis through droppings, urine, and contaminated surfaces.
Insulation & Property Damage
A rodent colony can trash attic insulation in months, costing thousands in energy loss and remediation.
How We Solve It — Step by Step
A proven protocol refined over 17 years and tens of thousands of treatments.
Full-Property Inspection
We inspect roofline to foundation — including attic and crawl space — to identify species, population size, and every entry point.
Strategic Trapping & Baiting
Tamper-resistant stations and snap traps are placed on active runways, positioned safely away from children and pets.
Exclusion & Rodent-Proofing
Entry points are sealed with steel mesh, hardware cloth, and sealants rodents can't chew through — the step that makes results permanent.
Sanitation & Monitoring
We remove carcasses and droppings, offer attic remediation, and monitor stations until activity reaches zero.
Prevention Tips From Our Technicians
- Store firewood at least 20 feet from the house and off the ground
- Keep tree limbs trimmed 6+ feet from the roofline — roof rats are expert climbers
- Store bird seed, pet food, and bulk pantry goods in metal or thick plastic bins
- Install door sweeps on exterior and garage doors
- Declutter garages and storage areas to remove nesting harborage
Why Professional Treatment Wins
DIY traps catch individuals, but rodents are neophobic — they avoid new objects — and breed faster than casual trapping removes them. Professionals read rub marks, droppings, and gnawing patterns to intercept actual runways, then seal the structure so the problem is solved rather than managed forever.
