Rodent Control — Southern California

Rodents in Your Walls Are a Health Risk — Not Just a Noise Problem.

Mice and rats contaminate food, spread disease, chew through wiring, and breed fast. One pair of mice can become 60 in 90 days. Dr. Pest finds every entry point, removes the rodents, and seals your property so they can’t return.

Every entry point found, documented, and sealed
Nests and droppings safely removed

Warning Signs

6 Signs You May Have a Rodent Control Problem

Rodents are nocturnal and stay hidden. By the time you see one, a population is already established. These are the early warning signs.

01

Scratching or scurrying at night

Sounds in walls, ceiling, or attic after dark are the most common first sign. Rats and mice are most active between midnight and dawn.

02

Droppings near food or cabinets

Dark, rice-sized droppings near pantry areas, under sinks, or along baseboards confirm active rodent presence.

03

Gnaw marks on wires or packaging

Rodents chew constantly to keep their teeth filed. Gnawed food packaging, wires, or baseboards indicate active infestation.

04

Shredded nesting material

Shredded paper, insulation, or fabric found in cabinets, behind appliances, or in the attic indicates an active nest.

05

Grease marks along baseboards

Rodents run the same routes repeatedly. The oils from their fur leave dark smear marks along walls and baseboards over time.

06

Unusual pet behavior

Dogs and cats often detect rodents before humans do. Excessive scratching at walls or staring at baseboards warrants an inspection.

Why Dr. Pest

The Dr. Pest Difference

Trapping without sealing is a revolving door. We don’t call the job done until every entry point is sealed, documented, and guaranteed.

Exclusion, Not Just Trapping

New rodents will enter through the same gaps within days of trapping. Permanent exclusion sealing is what actually solves the problem.

Written Entry Point Report

You receive a map of every entry point found, what material was used to seal it, and what to watch for during future maintenance.

12-Month Re-Entry Guarantee

If rodents get back in within 12 months, we come back and fix it at no charge.

How We Work

Our Rodent Control Process

Every job follows the same four steps — no shortcuts, no guesswork.

01

Full Property Inspection

We inspect your attic, crawlspace, garage, and exterior for droppings, nesting material, and all potential and active entry points.

02

Entry Point Mapping

We document every gap, hole, and pipe penetration larger than a quarter — the entry points most homeowners never find on their own.

03

Trapping & Removal

Tamper-resistant bait stations and traps placed at strategic locations based on activity patterns. All removed humanely and safely.

04

Exclusion & Sealing

Once activity stops, we seal all identified entry points with rodent-proof materials. Written report of every sealed point included.

Ready to Take Back Your Home?

Our team is standing by. Same-day slots are limited — the earlier you call, the sooner we’re there.

Rodent work by city

Every city we cover gives rodents a different way in, and the local pages go into what we actually find there: rats and mice in Long Beach, Torrance, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach. If you want the entry points sealed rather than just the animals trapped, that is rodent exclusion.

🛡️ Our Service Guarantee

If pests return between scheduled visits, we come back and re-treat at zero additional cost. That’s our promise — in writing, on every service agreement.

FAQs

Common Questions

How do I know if I have mice or rats?

Mice are smaller — droppings are about the size of a grain of rice, and gnaw marks are smaller. Rat droppings are larger (about 3/4 inch), and you may hear heavier movement in the attic. Our inspection will confirm which and where.

Do I need to be home during rodent treatment?

No. Most treatments can be done while you’re away. We’ll explain exactly where traps and bait stations are placed so you’re aware of every location.

How long does it take to get of rodents?

Most infestations are resolved within 2–4 weeks of initial treatment, depending on population size. Exclusion sealing happens once activity stops.

Is rodent bait safe around pets and children?

All bait stations are tamper-resistant and placed in areas inaccessible to pets and children. We’ll show you exact placement locations at the time of service.

What’s the difference between rodent control and exclusion?

Control removes the current population. Exclusion seals all entry points so new rodents can’t get in. Both are required for a lasting solution — we provide both.

Can rodents come back after treatment?

After exclusion sealing, re-entry through sealed points is extremely unlikely. If it occurs within our guarantee window, we return at no charge.
