Norway rats burrow at the foundation, roof rats travel the attic and eaves, and house mice need only a quarter-inch gap — knowing which one you have changes the entire treatment plan.
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.
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.
Guarantee coverage means a return visit is free if activity continues past the stated window.
Mice were getting into the pantry no matter how much steel wool I stuffed in myself. Turns out the real gap was behind the dryer vent.
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 Mount Prospect neighborhood you're in, a technician equipped for rat and mouse-specific work can reach you the same day.

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.
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.
We can document damage for your records and offer attic sanitation as an add-on service after removal is confirmed.
We set up recurring monitoring visits for warehouses, restaurants, and retail spaces on a schedule that fits your operation.
