Rodent Control & Removal
Hearing scratching in your walls? We connect you with local experts for fast, humane, and effective removal of mice and rats, and provide solutions to keep them out for good.
Protect Your Home and Health from Rodents
Discovering mice or rats in your home can be deeply unsettling. Rodents not only cause significant property damage by gnawing on wires, insulation, and wood, but they also pose serious health risks by spreading diseases and contaminating food supplies. DIY traps and baits often fail to address the full scope of an infestation. LocalXR connects you with experienced professionals who can effectively eliminate rodents and secure your home against future invasions.
Signs of a Rodent Infestation
Rodents are nocturnal and secretive. You are more likely to see signs of their presence than the pests themselves. Call for a professional inspection if you notice:
Droppings
Finding small, dark droppings in pantries, drawers, under sinks, or along walls is a primary indicator.
Gnaw Marks
Look for chew marks on food packaging, furniture, baseboards, and electrical wires.
Nesting Materials
Finding shredded paper, fabric, or dried plant matter in secluded corners of your home.
Scratching Noises
Hearing scurrying or scratching sounds in your walls or ceiling, especially at night.
When to Call a Professional
For safety and to prevent costly damage, most water heater issues require a licensed plumber. Call immediately if you suspect a gas leak (smell of rotten eggs). Otherwise, schedule a service for any of the signs listed above, especially for leaks or if you are not comfortable performing maintenance yourself.

Why Professional Rodent Control is Critical
DIY traps often catch only a few rodents, failing to address the breeding population hidden within your home. Professionals offer a comprehensive solution.
- Health & Safety: Professionals handle and dispose of rodents safely, minimizing your exposure to diseases.
- Effective Eradication: An expert can locate and eliminate the entire nest, not just individual rodents.
- Prevents Future Problems: Exclusion work to seal entry points is the most critical step, and one that requires professional knowledge.
