Mouse & Rat Control in the Puget Sound Area
Rodent inspections, removal, and entry-point repairs
Scratching sounds, droppings, damaged food packaging, or unexplained odors may indicate mice or rats in your property. Pest Control Northwest helps homeowners and businesses identify rodent activity, address entry points, and develop a control plan suited to the building.
Trey Shelton combines pest-control experience with a general contractor’s understanding of how rodents gain access to homes, offices, condos, and cabins.
Start with a thorough inspection
Effective rodent control begins with understanding where rodents are entering, nesting, and finding food. Trey inspects accessible areas for activity and potential access points, including exterior openings, crawl spaces, and attics.
The findings guide recommendations for removal, repairs, and prevention.
Address the infestation and its entry points
Trapping and exclusion work together to address rodent problems. Depending on the property, the plan may include trapping, sealing identified openings, and reducing conditions that attract rodents.
Follow-up needs vary with the infestation and the building. Ongoing maintenance helps reduce the chance of new activity.
Crawl-space and attic cleanup
Rodent activity can leave contaminated insulation, nesting material, and waste behind. Trey can assess affected crawl spaces and attics and discuss cleanup needs alongside the rodent-control work.
Signs worth investigating
- Droppings or nesting material
- Gnaw marks or damaged packaging
- Scratching sounds in walls, ceilings, or crawl spaces
- Damaged insulation, wiring, or ductwork
- Recurring odors
These signs warrant inspection; they do not establish the size or source of an infestation on their own.
Handle rodent waste carefully
Avoid direct contact with rodent waste. Do not sweep or vacuum dry droppings or nesting material. Follow current CDC cleanup guidance, and seek professional advice for heavily contaminated areas.
If rodent bait products are used, follow every label direction and precaution, including measures to limit exposure to children, pets, and wildlife.
