Rodent Control Services

How do I know if I have a rodent problem in my home or business?

Common signs of a rodent infestation include scratching noises in walls or ceilings, droppings in cabinets or along baseboards, gnaw marks on food packaging or wiring, foul or musty odors, and nesting materials such as shredded paper or insulation. If you notice any of these signs, a professional inspection can confirm the source and level of activity.

What types of rodents does Wood Pest Pros treat in Southern Michigan?

We commonly treat house mice, and deer mice in homes and commercial buildings throughout Southern Michigan. Our technicians identify the exact rodent species present so we can select the most effective combination of traps, baits, and exclusion techniques for long-term control.

Are your rodent control treatments safe for children and pets?

Yes. Safety is our top priority. We use professional-grade products and trapping methods that are applied in targeted areas where rodents travel, not where people and pets spend time. Whenever baits are used, they are locked inside tamper-resistant stations and placed out of reach of children and pets, following all label directions and regulations.

What is rodent exclusion and why is it important?

Rodent exclusion is the process of sealing gaps, cracks, and openings that rodents use to enter your structure. Because mice can squeeze through holes as small as a dime, sealing entry points around foundations, doors, windows, utility lines, and roofs is critical. Exclusion helps stop new rodents from getting in, making your treatment more effective and preventing future infestations.

How long does it take to get rid of a rodent infestation?

The timeline depends on how severe the infestation is and how easily we can access rodent hotspots. Many light to moderate infestations show significant improvement within a few days after traps and stations are placed. More established rodent populations, or large commercial buildings, may require several service visits over a few weeks to fully eliminate activity and verify that new rodents are not entering.

Do I still need a professional if I only see one mouse?

Seeing a single mouse usually means there are more hiding nearby. Rodents are secretive and reproduce quickly, so a small issue can become a large infestation in a short time. A professional inspection helps you understand where rodents are entering, where they are nesting, and what must be done to stop the problem before it grows.

What can I do to help prevent rodents from coming back?

You can reduce rodent pressure by sealing obvious gaps around pipes and doors, keeping food in tightly sealed containers, promptly cleaning up crumbs and spills, reducing clutter where rodents can hide, and storing firewood away from the home. Our technicians will provide customized prevention tips based on your property and may recommend ongoing monitoring to keep your home or business protected.

Do you offer ongoing rodent maintenance plans?

Yes. For homes and businesses that experience regular rodent pressure, we offer scheduled maintenance plans. These services include routine inspections, monitoring, adjustments to traps and bait stations, and additional exclusion recommendations to keep rodent activity under control throughout the year.
