Fast, effective, and eco-friendly rodent control designed to protect your home or business.
Why Rodents Are More Than Just a Nuisance
Rats and mice cause more than noise they create serious damage and health risks inside your home. Rodents chew wiring, contaminate surfaces, damage insulation, and can squeeze through openings as small as a quarter inch. They nest in attics, wall voids, garages, and crawl spaces, spreading quickly and becoming difficult to control without professional help.
Because rodents are intelligent, cautious, and adaptable, successful control requires a strategic approach: inspection, trapping, exclusion repairs, and long-term prevention. This comprehensive method is what sets ASPCW apart.
How We Eliminate Rodent Step by Step
Visual Inspection & Photo Documentation
We begin with a detailed visual inspection of all accessible areas, including attic access, subarea access, exterior walls, foundation, garage, and the roofline. Roof inspections help identify rodent entry points around vents, gaps, roof returns, and utility penetrations.
For homes with tile roofing, a signed tile roof liability waiver is required before any roof inspection to release ASPCW from responsibility for potential tile damage.
We capture photos of all visible rodent evidence, droppings, rub marks, gnawing, burrows, and openings, so you can clearly see what we see.
Customized Rodent Control Plan
Targeted Trapping & Initial Control
Our technicians strategically place traps along active pathways, entry points, and high-traffic areas to quickly reduce rodent activity. For complex infestations, camera monitoring is available to identify hidden movement patterns and increase accuracy.
Exclusion & Entry Point Repairs (Completed During the Control Process)
Exclusion is a critical part of rodent control, not something we wait to do later. As we identify entry points, we complete repairs during the trapping process to stop new rodents from entering while existing ones are being removed.
Repairs may include sealing gaps, repairing chewed openings, securing plumbing and utility penetrations, reinforcing roofline voids, and closing attic, foundation, or garage access points.
Smoke Testing (Available January 2026 — Used Only When Needed)
While not required for every home, smoke testing will be available starting January 2026 for cases where hidden or hard-to-find entry points are suspected. This non-toxic diagnostic method helps reveal concealed gaps in attic spaces, wall voids, subareas, and plumbing breaches, allowing for precise repairs not visible during standard visual inspections.
Long-Term Prevention & Follow-Up
We provide personalized recommendations for sanitation, storage, and structural improvements. For long-term protection, we offer ongoing monitoring and scheduled follow-ups to ensure your home remains rodent-free.

Don’t Let Rodent Take Over, We are Ready When You Are
Rodent activity escalates quickly once they find a warm, safe place to nest. Scratching noises, droppings, strong odors, grease marks, chewed openings, or nighttime activity are all signs rodents may already be inside. DIY traps rarely solve the root issue because they don’t address the entry points rodents are actively using.
Our rodent specialists locate activity, identify access points, and build a strategic, long-term control plan tailored to your home.
