Citrus Heights' Rodent Problem

Citrus Heights' warm Mediterranean climate and proximity to agricultural areas create ideal pest problems year-round. Fall and winter months (September through February) see peak rodent activity as temperatures drop. Older suburban properties and homes with gaps in foundations, damaged screens, or unsealed entry points are particularly vulnerable. The American River area and nearby agriculture make Citrus Heights an attractive landing spot for rodent populations looking to establish indoor colonies.

Our Process

Our Rodent Control Process

A proven 3-step approach that eliminates rodents and keeps them from coming back.

Effective Treatment

We deploy tamper-resistant bait stations, snap traps, and monitoring devices in strategic locations. Our IPM (Integrated Pest Management) approach focuses on pressure reduction and targeted elimination.

Common Questions

Rodent Control FAQs

What does your rodent control process look like?
We start with an inspection of the exterior and interior, including the attic and sub area. We identify entry points, then begin treatment with exterior bait stations and interior trapping. After 2 to 4 weeks we conduct exclusion to seal all entry points and follow up as needed.
What is the difference between one-time treatment and the add-on plan?
With a one-time treatment, we use snap traps in the attic or sub area but cannot leave exterior bait stations. The add-on plan at $60 to $95 per month includes exterior bait stations maintained every two months for year-round prevention.
How does exclusion work?
Exclusion is a one-time service where typically two technicians seal all identified entry points. It can take several hours depending on the project size. All exclusion work is warrantied for 12 months when you are on a regular preventative plan.
How long does it take to get rodents under control?
On average about 30 days to see results. In some cases we begin trapping within seven days. Severe cases can take up to 60 days depending on conditions like nearby green belts, open fields, or food sources.
What time of year are rodents most active?
While rodents are a year-round issue, activity spikes in the colder months during winter. Rodents seek shelter inside structures where temperatures in attics and crawl spaces are more suitable.
What damage can rodents cause?
Rodents transmit diseases through contamination of food and surfaces. They chew on plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems causing costly damage. Over time they can damage and soil insulation, potentially requiring full replacement.
