Rodent Control Services in Virginia, Maryland and Washington D.C.

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.
