If you have nighttime noises in your walls or overhead, then you are very likely dealing with rodents. Now the question becomes, which type of rodent? Rats and mice are most common, but they’re not always the culprit. Their sounds are usually not as loud as say, a raccoon. Raccoons are much larger and of course sound bigger as well! Customers have described them as sounding like a “toddler” running upstairs. You can also check…
If you are hearing noises in the attic, it can be any one of a number of causes. Or perhaps, more than one: Tree branches — this is probably the best-case scenario. We have had customers call us and get a rodent inspection when it turns out it was simply a few long, untrimmed tree branches that are scraping the roof. So if you hear some scraping noises overhead at night, talk a flashlight and…

Rodent activity is already starting and really this year has been a busier year than usual with rodent activity staying fairly consistent throughout the year. Perhaps the extreme heat had them trying to escape it, but whatever the reason we have had many customers call for rats and mice inside. The winter is surely to bring more, so start looking and listening around your home. Do you hear scratching or rustling overhead in an attic…
We have excellent rodent technicians that handle rats and mice including sealing up any holes and access points in your home so they don’t return. If you have a larger animal like a squirrel, raccoon or opossum, we recommend contacting a critter removal service such as Austin’s Wildlife Removal Services. But if you see small droppings or hear lighter scratching or scurrying, or just aren’t sure, then give us a call. Our rodent technicians have…
Some people call and want ongoing rodent treatment, but depending on the situation this may not be needed. Like most of our work, we handle pest issues you are having now, not an issue you “might” have in the future. Other companies want to lock you in to a long-term contract and may use scare tactics to do so. This is particularly true for termite and rodent work, which naturally can cause the most alarm…
We’ve had thousands of customers call us because they have rodent issues – rats or mice getting into their home.

First, our rodent experts are experienced, having performed hundreds of rodent treatments each. They know where to look for rodents, how to set up treatment…
“What are these droppings in my house?” Not a pleasant topic, but it is inevitable that pest droppings appear in people’s homes from time to time.

In some cases raccoons can even get into attics and leave behind messes. If you’re not sure what type of dropping it is,…
The most natural way to help control pests is of course prevention! But even prevention isn’t foolproof. Pests still exist out there and can make their way in. But if you combine common sense pest prevention tips with an occasional pest control service, you will see far fewer bugs, even in Austin where bugs thrive! There are three areas to focus on when looking at preventing pests coming in to your house—food, water and access…
Does having an indoor housecat keep your home rodent free? Not likely, but it may help. The game of cat and mouse has a few details involved. Many cats enjoy chasing things — that could be a laser pointer light, a feather toy or even a live creature. That can include a mouse, rat or your fingers when you sit on the couch. But if the cat is well fed and taken care of, it…
