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.
We trace gnaw marks, grease trails, and droppings back to the actual entry gap before quoting trapping and exclusion work.


Every technician handling Richmond rodent calls carries state licensing and full liability coverage for both trapping and exclusion work.
Rodent calls in Richmond get prioritized scheduling since a small mouse problem can become a breeding population within weeks.
You get one flat quote covering trapping, gap sealing, and a scheduled follow-up — sealing costs are never a surprise add-on.
Our vehicles carry door sweeps, vent screening, and expanding sealant specifically for rodent exclusion work.
We trace grease trails along rafters and gable vents, which is where roof rat activity concentrates.
We inspect crawl spaces and foundation perimeters specifically for Norway rat burrow entrances.
Snap traps go along interior travel routes — usually baseboards and cabinet edges — where mouse activity is heaviest.

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.
As a property manager, having documented service reports for every unit made compliance so much easier.
Knowing the difference between a Norway rat burrow and a roof rat travel path was something we never would have figured out ourselves.
