Mouse Control and Rat Control Services

Spotted a flash of movement near the baseboards? Found shredded paper tucked behind the water heater? Those aren't your imagination playing tricks on you. Mice move into homes looking for food, warmth, and a quiet place to raise their (many, many) babies. Cedar Pest Control has helped hundreds of homeowners reclaim their space from rodents, and we're ready to do the same for yours with treatments that are safe for your family and pets.

We provide comprehensive mice control and rat control services backed by a solid guarantee. If rodents show up between your scheduled visits, we come back and re-treat for free. No runaround, no excuses—just your home back to normal.

Early Warning Signs of Mouse Problems

Getting the right rodent exterminator starts with identifying the right pest. Mice and rats leave different clues, and knowing what you're dealing with helps us target the problem faster. Check the usual hiding spots—under sinks, behind appliances, in attics, and along baseboards—and look for these signs:

Small, dark droppings near food sources or along walls
Greasy rub marks where rodents squeeze through tight spaces
Chewed food packaging, wires, or insulation
Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings
Nests made from shredded paper, fabric, or insulation

Mice leave rice-sized droppings with pointed ends, while rats leave larger, blunt-ended pellets. If you're seeing fresh droppings or hearing activity, you need a pest control company that responds quickly. The longer rodents stay, the more damage they cause and the harder they are to eliminate.

Why Mouse Problems Get Worse Fast

Mice and rats aren't just annoying houseguests. They chew through electrical wiring, which creates fire hazards, and they contaminate food and surfaces with urine and droppings. They also reproduce at an alarming rate—a single female mouse has up to 10 litters per year, with each litter producing 5-6 pups.

Mouse Prevention Tips That Work

Prevention works best when you eliminate the three things rodents need most: food, water, and shelter. Cedar Pest Control always recommends a combination of exclusion, sanitation, and monitoring to keep your home rodent-free. Here's where to start:

Seal Entry Points: Mice squeeze through holes the size of a dime, and rats through quarter-sized gaps. Check around pipes, vents, windows, and door frames, and seal any openings with steel wool or caulk.
Store Food Properly: Keep pantry items in airtight containers, clean up crumbs immediately, and don't leave pet food out overnight.
Eliminate Water Sources: Fix leaky faucets, clear clogged gutters, and remove standing water around your property.
Reduce Clutter: Clear out storage areas, keep firewood away from your foundation, and trim back overgrown vegetation near your home.

Rodents are opportunists. The harder you make it for them to find food, water, and shelter, the less attractive your home becomes. If you’re already finding droppings or damaged items, Cedar Pest Control removes active mice and blocks the access points they’re using.
