Rodent Control in the Santa Clarita Valley

Trapping, exclusion and attic cleanup for rats and mice.

Rodents are the calls people make at eleven at night. Scratching in the attic, droppings under the sink, something running along the fence line at dusk. Killing the ones inside is the easy part — keeping the next ones out is the actual job.

Trapping first, then sealing

We start with trapping, because you don't want to seal animals inside a wall. Once activity drops off, we move to exclusion: sealing entry points with materials rodents can't chew through. Roof-line gaps, vent screens, utility penetrations, garage door seals, and the gaps where the stucco meets the eave.

  • Interior and attic trapping
  • Full exclusion inspection of the roof line and foundation
  • Sealing with rodent-proof materials, not foam or caulk alone
  • Droppings cleanup and sanitizing where needed
  • Insulation assessment in heavily contaminated attics

Why Santa Clarita has a rodent problem

Our neighborhoods back up to open hillside and brush. Roof rats travel along fence lines, tree limbs and utility wires, and they only need an opening about the size of a quarter. Newer developments aren't immune — construction gaps at the roof line are one of the most common entry points we find.

What we find in attics

Usually more than the homeowner expected. Contaminated insulation, chewed wiring, and nesting material. We document what we find with photos so you can decide what's worth addressing versus what can wait.

Our 30-day guarantee

If the pests we treated for return within 30 days, we'll re-treat at no charge. No arguing, no upsell.

Common questions

We prefer trapping. Poison creates the risk of an animal dying inside a wall, and it poses a secondary risk to pets and wildlife. Where bait is appropriate, it goes in locked tamper-resistant stations.

Trapping usually runs one to three weeks depending on the size of the population. Exclusion is typically a single visit once activity is down.

Not through the openings we seal. New openings can develop over time, which is why an annual look at the roof line is worth doing.
