Home › Rodent removal
Bait alone doesn’t end a rodent problem, and a mouse that dies in a wall becomes a smell you can’t reach. The fix that works is trapping combined with finding and sealing every entry point. That’s what we do.
How to tell
Rodents are mostly nocturnal and travel the same routes along walls and joists. Older housing near downtown Lakewood and Toms River, and homes backing to woods or water, see the most activity, especially as it cools off in fall.
Why it matters
Bait stations can knock down numbers, but they don’t close the gaps rodents use, so new ones keep coming, and poisoned rodents often die inside walls and ceilings where they rot. That’s the odor calls we get after a DIY bait job.
The reliable approach is snap or multi-catch trapping to clear what’s inside, a careful hunt for every entry point down to a dime-sized gap, and sealing with materials rodents can’t chew. Then it actually stays fixed.
What’s included
A look at the attic, roofline, foundation or yard to find every opening and check for young before anything is sealed.
Trapping or one-way exclusion gets the animal out safely, on the right timeline for the species and season.
Gaps, vents and openings closed with materials the animal can’t chew or push through.
Chewed, torn or dug-out areas repaired so the entry point is sound again.
Droppings and soiled material cleared and disinfected when the job calls for it.
The easy routes an animal used flagged so it stops treating your home as a way in.
Questions
You can knock the numbers down, but without finding and sealing the entry points, more keep coming. And bait deaths inside walls create odor problems. The sealing is the part that ends it.
Rats and mice use gaps around pipes, vents, garage doors, foundation cracks and rooflines, some no bigger than a coin. Finding all of them is the skilled part of the job.
Yes. Droppings and contaminated insulation can be removed and the area disinfected, since rodent waste is a health concern.
Yes. Roof rats and mice in attics are common here. The approach is the same: trap, find the entries, seal, and clean up.
