When you’re dealing with rats or mice in your home or business, it’s not enough to set a few traps and hope for the best. Rodents are persistent, fast-breeding pests that can cause significant damage and pose serious health risks. If you’ve seen the warning signs, it’s time to call a professional rodent exterminator.
At License-to-Kill Pest and Termite Control, we specialize in fast, effective rodent extermination throughout San Diego County. This guide walks you through what a licensed rodent exterminator does, how to spot an infestation early, and why DIY approaches often fall short.
Why You Need a Professional Rodent Exterminator
Rats and mice are more than just unwanted guests—they’re a danger to your property and well-being. A trained rodent exterminator does more than just set traps. They assess your entire property, locate hidden nests and access points, and deploy strategies that eliminate rodents at the source.
Inspection & Identification: A licensed exterminator knows how to distinguish between roof rats, Norway rats, and house mice—each of which requires a different approach.
Safe, Targeted Treatment: Rodenticides, traps, and bait stations are deployed strategically and safely, based on the species and location of the infestation.
Long-Term Prevention: Rodent-proofing is key. A professional closes up entry points and offers guidance on preventing future infestations.
Signs You May Need a Rodent Exterminator
Rodents are sneaky, but they leave behind signs. Contact a licensed exterminator if you notice any of the following:
- Scratching noises in the walls, ceiling, or attic
- Small, dark droppings along baseboards or near food
- Foul odors from urine or dead rodents
- Gnaw marks on wires, insulation, or cardboard
- Shredded paper or fabric used for nesting
Spotting a rodent during the day is often a sign of a serious infestation. Acting quickly can prevent thousands of dollars in property damage and health risks.
