Rodent Inspection
Where every rodent job starts.
Our Process
Inspect, explain, plan, control, follow up. Nothing is scoped before the findings.
The Five Steps
- Tell Us What You're SeeingCall or send a request with where and when you saw activity, what kind of property it is and whether pets or children are present. Photos help.
- Inspect the PropertyCheck for evidence, entry points, food and shelter, inside and outside. Shared building areas are included where access allows.
- Explain the FindingsYou get a plain explanation of what was found, where, and what it means. Ask questions here. The scope is set from these findings.
- Build the Control PlanTrapping, control, exclusion, sanitation and repair, in the order that makes sense, with clear notes on what each step covers.
- Follow Up Where RequiredMonitoring shows whether activity is dropping. Where it is not, the plan is adjusted and any missed route is found.
Inspection findings determine the scope, so two jobs on the same block can look very different.
What We Do Not Promise
We do not promise a number of days, a fixed price before an inspection or a building that never sees another rodent. We describe what was found and what is planned, and we check whether it worked.
Not sure what you are dealing with? An inspection finds the source and sets the scope.
Questions and Answers
What happens during a rodent inspection?
The inspector asks what you have seen and where, then checks for evidence such as droppings, gnaw marks, rub marks and burrows. They look at likely entry points around pipes, doors, foundations and utilities, and at conditions that feed or shelter rodents. You get an explanation of the findings, which decide the scope of any work.
How long does rodent control take?
There is no single honest answer, because the timeline depends on what the inspection finds. A small mouse problem with one clear entry route can move quickly. A rat problem with burrows, several entry points and shared building areas takes longer and usually needs follow up visits. Ask for the expected number of visits and what would change it.
Will one visit be enough?
Sometimes for a small, clear problem, but plan for follow up. Animals may need to be trapped over several days, entry points may need work in stages, and monitoring shows whether activity has stopped. Ask what follow up is included in the scope before work starts, so there are no surprises.
