Frequently Asked Questions
Is your rodent service safe for kids and pets?
Yes—devices are tamper-resistant and placements are chosen to minimize risk while remaining highly effective. We’ll review safety steps with you on-site.
Do you seal entry points?
We perform light exclusion during service (common small gaps and penetrations). For larger repairs, we’ll recommend next steps or a specialist.
How long does rodent elimination take?
Most homes see major reductions within 1–2 weeks. Complete elimination and hardening against re-entry may require follow-up visits.
What’s the difference between mice and rats in homes?
Mice can squeeze through 1/4" gaps and often nest in kitchens/garages; rats need larger openings and favor crawlspaces/outbuildings. Our inspection tailors the plan to the species.
Can I add rodent coverage to my Home Service Plan?
Absolutely—rodent monitoring/exclusion can be bundled with your plan for year-round protection and savings.
