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.
Rodent calls in Ballard 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.
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.
We inspect crawl spaces and foundation perimeters specifically for Norway rat burrow entrances.
House mice need only a quarter-inch gap, so mouse jobs focus heavily on sealing utility penetrations and door corners.
Trapping without sealing just invites the next rodent in — we close every identified gap with steel wool, hardware cloth, and sealant.
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.

Call +1-866-315-0243 and describe what you're hearing — attic scratching versus pantry droppings changes our dispatch priority.
Our mobile units stock hardware cloth and steel wool on every rodent-flagged dispatch.
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.
Scratching in the attic at 2am for a week straight — the technician found a roofline gap the size of a golf ball and sealed it same visit.
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.
Knowing the difference between a Norway rat burrow and a roof rat travel path was something we never would have figured out ourselves.

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

Roof rats are heard overhead in the attic, while Norway rats are more often found at ground level or in the crawl space.
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.
We set up recurring monitoring visits for warehouses, restaurants, and retail spaces on a schedule that fits your operation.
