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.


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.
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.
Norway rats burrow at the foundation and under sheds, so exterior bait stations and burrow treatment are part of the plan.
House mice need only a quarter-inch gap, so mouse jobs focus heavily on sealing utility penetrations and door corners.
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.
Rodent nesting material and waste get cleared as part of a full-service attic remediation add-on.

Tell dispatch where the activity is: roofline, attic, or ground level, so the right technician and gear get assigned.
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.
Guarantee coverage means a return visit is free if activity continues past the stated window.
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.
As a property manager, having documented service reports for every unit made compliance so much easier.
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.

Nex Pest Control dispatches rodent-specialized technicians throughout Washington and nearby communities, with trapping and exclusion gear stocked on every vehicle.

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.
Yes, exclusion is the permanent fix; trapping alone without sealing usually means new activity within a few weeks.
Yes — station placement is planned around pets and kids, and we'll walk you through exactly where everything goes.
