Rodents
Rodents can cause serious problems for both homes and businesses. They damage property, contaminate food, and can spread diseases. At Disinfest Pest Control, we provide complete rodent solutions starting with a free rodent assessment. Our approach focuses on long-term prevention as well as immediate control.
Our Rodent Control Services
Rodent Assessments:
We begin with a free inspection to identify the type of rodent, signs of activity, and entry points. This allows us to create a custom control and prevention plan for your property.
Exclusion: The most effective way to keep rodents out is to seal the gaps they use to get in. We locate and close off entry points using durable materials that rodents cannot chew through.
Trapping: We use strategically placed traps to quickly reduce active populations inside structures. Trapping is a targeted method that allows us to monitor results closely.
Baiting (When Needed): We use bait only when necessary, and we can provide alternative options for customers who prefer no bait on their property.
Sanitization: After rodents are removed, we can clean and sanitize affected areas to help reduce odors and health risks associated with droppings and urine.

Did You Know?
Neither of the two most common pest rats in the United States are native to the country. Both the Norway rat and the roof rat were introduced by ships from Europe hundreds of years ago and have since adapted to living alongside people.
Why Rodents Are a Problem Here
Southern California’s mild climate allows rodents to stay active year-round. Roof rats, Norway rats, and house mice often look for food and shelter in attics, garages, sheds, and wall voids. Once inside, they can quickly reproduce, turning a small problem into a large infestation.
