Scratching in the attic at night? In the East Valley, that's almost always roof rats. They showed up in the Phoenix area in the early 2000s, found the citrus-belt neighborhoods of Mesa and Gilbert, and never left. Mature citrus, dense oleanders, easy attic access — older East Valley neighborhoods are roof rat paradise.
We deal with three culprits here: roof rats, the climbers that run power lines and tree limbs into your attic; pack rats, the desert natives that nest in cactus, sheds and engine compartments; and house mice. Different animals, different strategies — same ending when it's done right.
And here's the truth most companies bury: trapping alone doesn't end a rodent problem. Sealing does. A rat needs a gap the size of a quarter. A mouse needs a dime. Until those gaps are closed, your attic has a revolving door. Our service is built around exclusion as the permanent fix.
What we do
Full Inspection
Attic, roofline, foundation, garage — we map every entry point and every sign of activity before setting a single trap.
Trapping + Bait Stations
Snap traps inside, where results are fast and verifiable. Locked, tamper-resistant bait stations outside.
Exclusion Sealing
Quarter-sized gaps for rats, dime-sized for mice — we close them all with materials rodents can't chew through.
Attic Sanitation
Droppings, urine and nest material removed, so the smell stops advertising your attic to the next family.
Inspection: Finding the Front Door
Roof rats almost never enter at ground level. They run power lines and tree branches, then drop onto the roof. If your citrus touches the house or oleanders reach the eaves, that's the highway. We trace the route before anything gets trapped or baited — otherwise you're guessing.
Trapping and Bait Stations
Outside is where bait stations earn their keep: locked, tamper-resistant boxes anchored along fence lines and travel routes, monitored on a schedule. They intercept neighborhood pressure before it reaches your roofline. On our monthly pest protection plan, rodent station monitoring is part of regular service.
Exclusion and Cleanup: The Permanent Fix
Then we make the attic uninviting. Rodent droppings and urine carry scent markers that tell the next rodents the route works. Our attic sanitation removes droppings and contaminated nest material so a sealed home stops advertising itself.
Finish the job in the yard: trim branches off the roofline, thin the oleanders, pick up fallen citrus. Sealed, clean and trimmed is a home rats stop trying — and that's the whole point.

Questions, answered
What's scratching in my attic at night?
In the East Valley, the odds-on answer is roof rats — they're nocturnal, so the noise starts just after dusk and sits above your ceiling. Light, fast skittering can be mice; heavier movement points to rats. An attic inspection settles it quickly, and droppings tell us the species on sight.
Why are roof rats so bad in Mesa and Gilbert?
Citrus. The old citrus-belt neighborhoods give roof rats everything: fruit for food, dense canopy for cover and branch highways straight to the roofline. They established in the Phoenix area in the early 2000s and the East Valley's mature landscaping has kept them fed ever since.
Will poison make rats die inside my walls?
It can — which is exactly why we don't use bait indoors. Inside the structure we run snap traps: fast, verifiable, nothing decomposing in a wall void. Bait goes outside only, in locked tamper-resistant stations along the routes rats actually travel.
How are rodents getting into my house?
Through gaps you'd walk right past: a quarter-sized opening admits a rat, a dime-sized one admits a mouse. The usual doors are roofline-to-fascia gaps, unscreened vents, AC line penetrations and garage door corners — and roof rats reach them by running trees and power lines. Our inspection maps every one, and exclusion closes them.
Is rodent control included in my pest plan?
Our monthly pest protection plan ($99–$119/month) includes ongoing rodent station monitoring as a preventive layer. An active infestation — trapping, exclusion sealing and attic sanitation — is its own project, quoted after inspection, because every house has a different set of entry points. We'll tell you exactly what yours needs and what it costs before any work starts.
