Mice and Rats are more intelligent than many other pests and can hide in your house without your knowledge. Common signs of a rodent problem include chewed electrical wires, baseboards, furniture, or cabinets; mouse or rat droppings; and scratching or scurrying noises in your walls.
Our expert rodent exterminators identify, eliminate, and treat all types of rodent infestations in VA, MD, and DC, including: House mice, Deer mice, Norway rats, and Roof rats.
House mice are identified by their round gray body and cream-colored stomach. They are about 4-6 inches long (including their tail) and have pointy noses with large ears. These mice breed all year and seek out structures with easy access to food, water, and shelter.
Deer Mouse
Deer mice are round with a brown body and white-colored feet/stomach. They are about 5-8 inches long (including their tail) and are commonly found in rural areas. They tend to make their homes in outdoor locations such as tree logs, leaf/log piles, and piles of debris. If they find their way into your home, they will likely choose areas with low foot traffic, such as attics, garages, basements, or barns.
Norway Rat (Sewer rat, common rat, brown rat)
Norway rats are brown with speckled black bodies and light stomachs. They are around 7-9 inches long (including their tail), stocky, and have a blunt/rounded nose. Norway rats are also excellent climbers, making it easy to enter through cracks anywhere in your home. They often find their way into homes in the fall in search of food.
Roof Rats
Roof rats are brown or black with light-colored stomachs. They are smaller and thinner than Norway rats and typically measure 6-8 inches long. As their name suggests, they usually make their home in the upper parts of buildings and homes. These rats have poor vision but a strong sense of smell and touch.

Frequently Asked Questions About Rodents
Rodents are hazardous pests to have inside your home. They can transmit diseases, including salmonella, dysentery, and more. They are also highly destructive and can chew through your walls and destroy wiring, potentially leading to fires.
Rodents can be a problem year-round, but in colder climates, they tend to become more active in the fall and early winter as they search for food and shelter before the harsh winter months. They are also typically most active during the night when foraging for food.
Rodents can enter your home through gaps or cracks in walls, windows, and doors. They also may gnaw through walls or other materials, making it difficult to prevent entry without professional guidance and treatment. These pesky pests are skilled climbers and can also enter through pipes or vents.
Rodents are difficult to remove safely without the help of a professional exterminator. Rats in particular can be dangerous when cornered and may attack if they feel threatened. Contacting them may also transmit any diseases they are carrying to you. They also leave behind droppings that can be difficult to find or clear. It can also be hard to know if you removed all of them when trying this alone. To ensure you eliminate rodents long-term, schedule your treatment with My Pest Pros today.
If you’re hearing bumps at night, it could be mice running inside your home. Mice are nocturnal creatures who explore new habitats and look for food after the sun goes down. If you hear faint scratching through a wall, you may hear them chewing on parts of your home or scratching on wood or insulation.

Just wanted to update my review! Still super pleased with MyPestPros. Anthony came out today and targeted the areas we’ve noticed some mosquito action (really only at dusk). He’s great! We’ve seen NO ticks so far this year and that’s all due to Anthony because we have acres of woods behind our house and are usually infested. The company does a great job of sending reminders the day before they arrive.

My Pest Pros provided outstanding customer service during one of the most stressful moves I’ve ever experienced.Due to significant delays with my moving company, several of my move-out services had to be coordinated under extremely tight timelines. The team at My Pest Pros was incredibly accommodating, professional, and understanding throughout the process. They worked with me to adjust scheduling, communicated clearly, and helped ensure everything was completed on time despite circumstances that were completely outside of my control.What stood out most was their willingness to help rather than add stress to an already difficult situation. Every interaction was professional, courteous, and focused on finding a solution.It’s rare to find a company that combines excellent service with genuine care for its customers, but My Pest Pros did exactly that. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and customer-focused pest control services.

The young man, Omar, came to our condo explained what he was going to before and after his spraying and laying down compounds to rid our home of ants, spiders and other pests. He was polite, personable, professional, friendly and very respectful. If the compounds and sprays work as well as this young man than pests will be gone. Thank you,Larry Bratt

Neal came to my house this morning and provided exceptional service! I showed him all the spots I needed taken care of (ants) and you could tell he really cared about making sure the job got done right. He asked lots of questions that I wouldn't even have thought of myself, going above and beyond what I would have expected. I've been working with My Pest Pros for the past year now and they've done an excellent job of preventing any critters from entering my house.
