Scratching in the attic at night is almost always roof rats working the roofline, while ground-level droppings near the pantry usually mean house mice — our technicians identify the species before setting a single trap.
We trace gnaw marks, grease trails, and droppings back to the actual entry gap before quoting trapping and exclusion work.


Every technician handling Wheaton rodent calls carries state licensing and full liability coverage for both trapping and exclusion work.
Rodent calls in Wheaton get prioritized scheduling since a small mouse problem can become a breeding population within weeks.

We trace grease trails along rafters and gable vents, which is where roof rat activity concentrates.

Exclusion work covers roofline gaps, vent screens, garage door corners, and utility line penetrations.
Wheaton warehouses and retail stores get scheduled bait station monitoring with service logs ready for any audit.
After removal, we can address contaminated insulation and droppings left behind in the attic.
