Scratching in the attic at night is almost always roof rats working the roofline, while ground-level droppings near the pantry usually mean house mice — our technicians identify the species before setting a single trap.
A technician walks the roofline, foundation, and utility penetrations to find every gap a rodent could be using, not just the obvious one.


Our Rodent Control crew is trained specifically on rat and mouse biology, not general pest spraying.
We keep same-day slots open for active infestations, especially attic and wall-void activity reported at night.
Pricing is quoted after inspection and covers both removal and the exclusion work needed to keep rodents from returning.
We use snap traps, tamper-resistant bait stations, hardware cloth, and steel wool for permanent gap sealing.
Roof rats travel roofline, eaves, and attic spaces, so trapping is placed along their actual travel paths, not just on the attic floor.
Norway rats burrow at the foundation and under sheds, so exterior bait stations and burrow treatment are part of the plan.
Snap traps go along interior travel routes — usually baseboards and cabinet edges — where mouse activity is heaviest.
Exclusion work covers roofline gaps, vent screens, garage door corners, and utility line penetrations.
Commercial rodent accounts get recurring exterior station checks documented for compliance records.
After removal, we can address contaminated insulation and droppings left behind in the attic.

Tell dispatch where the activity is: roofline, attic, or ground level, so the right technician and gear get assigned.
A technician arrives with snap traps, bait stations, and sealing materials already loaded for Stanford rodent calls.
Inspection covers attic, foundation, and utility penetrations, with species ID driving trap placement.
Traps and stations go out the same visit, gaps get sealed, and a follow-up confirms activity has stopped for good.
Mice were getting into the pantry no matter how much steel wool I stuffed in myself. Turns out the real gap was behind the dryer vent.
Our warehouse had rodent activity near the loading dock and Nex Pest Control set up a monitored station program with logs for our next audit.
We'd tried every trap from the hardware store with no luck. The tech explained these were roof rats, not mice, and that changed everything about where traps went.

No matter which Stanford neighborhood you're in, a technician equipped for rat and mouse-specific work can reach you the same day.

Mouse droppings are small and rod-shaped; rat droppings are noticeably larger, and the entry gap size differs too — mice fit through a quarter-inch, rats need closer to a half-dollar.
Trapping removes the current rodents, but sealing the gap is what prevents the next one from moving in — both steps matter.
We use tamper-resistant, locked bait stations and can place snap traps specifically out of pet reach on request.
Initial trapping shows results within days, with full clearance usually confirmed by the second visit.
Yes, we'll flag any chewed wiring or insulation during inspection so you can address it alongside the rodent removal.
Yes, commercial accounts get scheduled exterior station checks with service logs for health and safety audits.
