Our Rodent Control Process

  1. Inspection: Our team will conduct a detailed inspection of your property to determine the extent of the rodent infestation and identify potential entry points and nesting areas.
  2. Customized Treatment Plan: Based on our findings, we will develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific situation. This plan will outline the steps we'll take to eliminate the existing rodent population and prevent future infestations.
  3. Exclusion Measures: We advise you of entry points so you can implement exclusion measures to prevent rodents from re-entering your property. This may involve repairing cracks, installing screens, or sealing gaps around doors and windows.
  4. Trapping and Removal: We will strategically place traps and bait stations to capture and remove rodents from your premises. Depending on your specific situation, anticoagulants may be employed to ensure complete extermination of the mischief or nest.
  5. Monitoring and Prevention: After the initial treatment, we will continue to monitor your property to ensure the rodents have been effectively eliminated. We will also provide recommendations on preventive measures to minimize the risk of future infestations.

Types of Rodents We Handle

Norway rat or Brown Rat

Norway Rats (AKA Brown Rats)

The Norway Rat, also known as the Brown Rat, is a common rodent pest known for its brown or grey fur and a body length of up to 10 inches, excluding the tail. With a robust ability to adapt, these rats frequently inhabit human residences or business establishments, often causing significant property damage due to their incessant gnawing. They can pose serious health risks, carrying diseases like leptospirosis and salmonellosis. 

Our professional services are equipped to tackle these resilient pests, providing comprehensive solutions to protect your property and health.

Roof Rats

The roof rat is smaller than the Norway or Brown rat. They are long and thin,  growing up to 16" inches, with their tails noticeably longer than their bodies. Roof rats are also referred to as black rats or ship rats. The roof rat gets its name from its tendency to find shelter in the upper parts of buildings. Once inside, roof rats damage materials by gnawing through them, contaminate stored food and expose people and pets to dangerous diseases.

Protective Pest Management has the knowledge and expertise to effectively remove these pests from your home or business and keep them from coming back. 

Concept Creation

The Allegheny Woodrat is a type of pack rat and is the second-largest member of the native North American rats. It can weigh up to a pound and is about the size of an eastern gray squirrel.

The fur is long, soft, and brownish-gray or cinnamon in color, while its undersides and feet are white. They have large eyes and naked ears. Their most distinguishing feature is their tails. While the tails of European rats are naked with only slightly visible hairs, the tails of woodrats are completely furred with hairs that match their bodies (the top hairs are dark, and the bottom hairs are white). 

These rats feed on seeds, grains, and other plant matter and tend to nest in caves and mines in and around forested areas. 

Professional expertise is required to control and eliminate woodrat infestations.

House Mice

House mice have an adult body length (nose to base of tail) of 3–4 inches and a tail length of 2–4". They range in color from grey and light brown to black and thrive in a variety of environments, and can be found in and around homes, businesses, fields, and agricultural lands. 

They commonly forage outdoors during the spring and summer but overwinter in buildings through the fall and winter for warmth and food. They typically feed on unattended food, leftovers, and garden produce, contaminating our food. They also spread pests like lice, fleas, and ticks, as well as diseases such as Hantavirus.

House mice can damage and compromise the structure of the furniture and the building itself due to their chewing and nesting behaviors. They gnaw various materials to file down their growing teeth and keep the length under control. Common damage includes gnawed electrical wires, marks on wooden furniture and construction supporting elements, and textile damage.

We provide effective solutions to rid your home or business of house mice and ensure they don't return.

Your Rodent Control Questions Answered

  • How long does it take to get full control of house mice?

    How long it takes to exterminate house mice from inside and outside your home or business depends on the extent of the infestation. 

    Generally, it takes 2 to 4 weeks after a treatment to see the full results. 

    Farms, restaurants, and composting spaces require continual pest management to control the population. We employ a variety of measures to prevent and eliminate house mice infestations, including breeding ground removal, baited traps, and anticoagulants. 

    To prevent overwintering inside your home or business, we provide preventative treatments in early fall. 

  • Are you licensed and insured?

    Yes, we’re licensed through the PA Department of Agriculture.

  • How much does rodent control cost?

    The cost to eliminate rodents from your home or business depends on the type of rodent, the location of their nest(s), and the severity of the infestation. We offer on-site consultations and free quotes for our rodent extermination services so you know exactly what it will cost before we begin. 

  • Is the product people and pet-friendly?

    Yes, we take special care to make sure all products we use are people and pet-friendly.

  • Does the product have an odor?

    No, our treatment products are odorless.

  • Do I have to leave my house during treatment?

    No. You do not need to leave the premises while we treat it for rats or other rodents. 

  • What pest control products do you use?

    We apply residual liquid insecticides to the interior and exterior to eliminate insect pests and apply baiting measures to destroy nests when eliminating rodents. Our rodent control experts will make recommendations for closing off potential entry points and other ways to deter rodents from making your home or business their home.

  • When is the best time to have professional rodent control done?

    While rodents tend to seek the warmth of your home or business as the Pennsylvania temperatures cool, they will nest in and around your property year-round if they have a convenient food source readily available. 

    The best time to treat rodents is before they've inhabited your space, if possible. Otherwise, the best time to call a professional exterminator is as soon as you see signs of rodents, such as: 

    • droppings, wet or dry
    • grease smudges on wall corners and baseboards
    • bite marks in food packaging
    • mice or rats scurrying around at night
    • dead mice or rats
