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.
A technician walks the roofline, foundation, and utility penetrations to find every gap a rodent could be using, not just the obvious one.


Every technician handling University rodent calls carries state licensing and full liability coverage for both trapping and exclusion work.
Rodent calls in University get prioritized scheduling since a small mouse problem can become a breeding population within weeks.
You get one flat quote covering trapping, gap sealing, and a scheduled follow-up — sealing costs are never a surprise add-on.
Our vehicles carry door sweeps, vent screening, and expanding sealant specifically for rodent exclusion work.
We trace grease trails along rafters and gable vents, which is where roof rat activity concentrates.
Norway rats burrow at the foundation and under sheds, so exterior bait stations and burrow treatment are part of the plan.
House mice need only a quarter-inch gap, so mouse jobs focus heavily on sealing utility penetrations and door corners.
Trapping without sealing just invites the next rodent in — we close every identified gap with steel wool, hardware cloth, and sealant.
University 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.

Tell dispatch where the activity is: roofline, attic, or ground level, so the right technician and gear get assigned.
Our mobile units stock hardware cloth and steel wool on every rodent-flagged dispatch.
Inspection covers attic, foundation, and utility penetrations, with species ID driving trap placement.
Guarantee coverage means a return visit is free if activity continues past the stated window.
Mice were getting into the pantry no matter how much steel wool I stuffed in myself. Turns out the real gap was behind the dryer vent.
As a property manager, having documented service reports for every unit made compliance so much easier.
We'd tried every trap from the hardware store with no luck. The tech explained these were roof rats, not mice, and that changed everything about where traps went.

Nex Pest Control dispatches rodent-specialized technicians throughout University and nearby communities, with trapping and exclusion gear stocked on every vehicle.

Mouse droppings are small and rod-shaped; rat droppings are noticeably larger, and the entry gap size differs too — mice fit through a quarter-inch, rats need closer to a half-dollar.
Yes, exclusion is the permanent fix; trapping alone without sealing usually means new activity within a few weeks.
We use tamper-resistant, locked bait stations and can place snap traps specifically out of pet reach on request.
Initial trapping shows results within days, with full clearance usually confirmed by the second visit.
We can document damage for your records and offer attic sanitation as an add-on service after removal is confirmed.
Yes, commercial accounts get scheduled exterior station checks with service logs for health and safety audits.
