Rodent Control & Removal Services

Rodents such as rats and mice pose serious risks to your home and health. These pests chew through wiring, contaminate food, and spread dangerous diseases. At Touchdown Pest Control, we specialize in comprehensive rodent removal and prevention services. Our expert team locates entry points, eliminates infestations, and keeps rodents from returning.

Common Rodents Found in Homes

Rodents are sneaky and fast breeders, often nesting in walls, basements, and attics. These are the most common rodent types we handle:

  • House Mice: Small, gray, and agile, house mice can squeeze through openings as small as a dime and quickly contaminate food sources.
  • Norway Rats: Larger and more destructive, these rats burrow near foundations and gnaw through wood, plastic, and even metal pipes.
  • Roof Rats: Excellent climbers, roof rats nest in attics and trees. They often enter homes through vents or damaged roofing.
  • Field Mice: Typically found outdoors, these mice can invade garages and sheds during colder months, bringing fleas and other pests with them.

Why Rodents Are So Hard to Eliminate

Rats and mice are intelligent and resourceful, making them hard to eliminate without professional help. Here's why DIY methods often fail:

  • Rapid Reproduction: Rodents reproduce quickly, with a single pair producing dozens of offspring in just a few months.
  • Hidden Entry Points: Mice and rats squeeze through tiny cracks in walls, pipes, and vents, making them hard to track down.
  • Contamination & Damage: Rodents chew through wires, insulation, and drywall while leaving droppings that spread bacteria and disease.

Our rodent control process includes thorough inspection, sealing of entry points, trapping, and sanitation. With Touchdown Pest Control, you get fast, reliable, and long-lasting rodent protection.

Why Rodents Invade Homes and Where They Nest

Rodents like rats and mice are persistent pests that sneak into homes in search of food and shelter. Understanding their habits can help stop infestations before they start:

  • Warm Nesting Areas: Rodents prefer hidden spaces like attics, basements, and wall voids where they can build nests out of insulation or fabric.
  • Accessible Food: Leftover crumbs, open food containers, and pet food attract mice and rats into kitchens and pantries.
  • Small Entry Points: Rodents can squeeze through tiny cracks in walls, gaps under doors, or openings around utility lines.
  • Fast Reproduction: Once inside, rodents reproduce rapidly, turning a minor issue into a large infestation in a matter of weeks.

Why Professional Rodent Control Is Essential

Traps and bait stations offer short-term relief, but long-term rodent control requires expert solutions. Touchdown Pest Control delivers proven, professional rodent removal services designed to keep your property safe:

  • Accurate Detection: We identify nesting areas, track movement patterns, and find rodent entry points throughout your property.
  • Safe Removal: Our pest control team uses targeted, pet-safe techniques to eliminate mice and rats efficiently.
  • Exclusion & Sealing: We seal entry holes and install protective barriers to prevent future rodent access.
  • Sanitation Support: Rodents spread bacteria, damage insulation, and leave droppings. We help restore cleanliness and safety after removal.

Frequently Asked Questions


Common rodents that invade homes include house mice, Norway rats, roof rats, and field mice. Each species presents unique risks, from food contamination to structural damage, making professional rodent control essential.
Rodents squeeze through tiny cracks, gaps around doors, damaged vents, and utility line openings. Mice can fit through holes as small as a dime, while rats exploit larger structural weaknesses, quickly making your home their nesting ground.
