How to Keep Rodents Out of Your Home This Season

As temperatures drop, rodents like rats and mice begin looking for a warm place to nest — and your home is the perfect target.

If you’ve heard scratching in the walls, found droppings in your pantry, or noticed chew marks on wires or insulation, you likely have unwanted guests. Don’t worry — PlateauPest is here to help with expert rodent control services across Kent and surrounding areas.


Why Rodents Are a Serious Problem

Rats and mice don’t just cause discomfort. They can:

  • Spread diseases through droppings and urine
  • Chew on electrical wires, increasing fire risk
  • Damage insulation, drywall, and food storage
  • Multiply quickly — turning one or two into a full infestation in weeks

How Our Rodent Control Services Work

At PlateauPestControl, we take a proactive, targeted approach to eliminate rodents and prevent them from returning:

1. Thorough Inspection

We inspect your entire property — attic to basement — to identify entry points and nesting areas.

2. Safe, Effective Removal

We use bait stations, traps, and exclusion techniques to remove rats and mice without endangering pets or children.

3. Entry Point Sealing

Rodents can squeeze through holes the size of a dime. We seal gaps, cracks, and potential entry zones to block access.

4. Ongoing Monitoring

Our quarterly Pest Protection Plan includes rodent control — meaning we return to check and maintain barriers throughout the year.
