"We had mice in the walls of our 1968 split-level in Highland Springs for months. Called three companies — nobody found all the entry points. These guys walked my whole crawl space, sealed six gaps I never knew existed, and we haven't heard a sound since. Worth every penny."

About Our Service
Why Henrico Homes Need Specialist Rodent Control
Henrico County's mix of maturing neighborhoods, wooded corridors, and proximity to the James River creates persistent rodent pressure year-round. Norway rats are common along creek beds and older infrastructure. House mice exploit the small gaps that settle into pre-1980 construction as foundations shift and sealants age.
Trapping alone doesn't solve the problem. Without closing the entry points, removing one rodent population just creates space for the next one. We inspect, treat, and exclude — in that order — because that's the sequence that actually works.

What We Do
Our Rodent Control Services
Every job starts with a thorough inspection. From there, we build a treatment plan specific to your property — no one-size-fits-all packages.
Rodent Inspection & Assessment
Comprehensive identification of entry points, activity signs, and infestation extent — the foundation of every effective treatment plan.
Mouse Extermination
Professional trapping, baiting, and removal of house mice using proven, targeted methods that eliminate colonies without leaving hazards behind.
Rat Removal & Control
Norway rat and roof rat elimination using species-appropriate techniques — bait stations, snap traps, and sanitation protocols.
Rodent Exclusion & Sealing
Permanent closure of every gap, crack, and opening rodents use to enter your home — hardware cloth, steel wool, caulk, and foam applied by hand.
Attic Rodent Cleanup & Sanitization
Safe removal of contaminated insulation, feces, and nesting material followed by deodorization and restoration — protecting your home's air quality.
Crawl Space Rodent Control
Targeted treatment of crawl spaces including vapor barrier assessment, bait station placement, and exclusion of foundation entry points.
Commercial Rodent Control
Integrated pest management for restaurants, warehouses, multi-family buildings, and retail — tailored to regulatory requirements and operational hours.
Emergency Rodent Response
Same-day urgent call-out when you can't wait — available throughout our service hours for active infestations that need immediate attention.
How It Works
Our 4-Step Process
Inspection
We walk the full property — attic, crawl space, perimeter, and interior — documenting every sign of activity and every entry point before anything else.
Clear Quote
After the inspection, you get a written quote covering exactly what needs to be done and why. No pressure, no surprises.
Treatment & Exclusion
We remove the current population using species-appropriate methods, then physically seal every entry point — the step most competitors skip.
Follow-Up Guidance
We walk you through what we did, what to watch for, and when to call back. No mystery, no recurring charges for work that doesn't need doing.
Why Henrico Chooses Us
What Sets Our Service Apart
Inspection-First, Always
We never start work without walking the full property. Guessing at entry points wastes your money. We find them all before we close any of them.
Exclusion Included
Most "pest control" is just trap-and-bait. We seal the structure so rodents cannot re-enter — the only part of the job that produces a lasting result.
Locally Based in Henrico
We live and work here. We know Henrico's housing stock, its older neighborhoods, and the specific rodent pressure the county faces each season.
Real People Answer the Phone
When you call between 5 AM and 11 PM, you talk to someone who can actually help — not a call center script or a callback queue.
The Service Visit
What to Expect When You Call
Here's exactly what happens from the moment you reach out to the moment your home is protected.
-
You Call — We Answer
When you call (804) 606-1376, you reach a real person — not a call center or voicemail system. We'll ask where you're seeing activity, what type of rodent you suspect, and how long the problem has been going on. That 2-minute conversation lets us arrive prepared.
-
On-Site Inspection
Our technician will do a thorough walkthrough — attic, crawl space, garage, perimeter, and any active areas you've identified. We look for entry points (gaps at pipes, vents, foundation cracks, roofline), droppings, runways, and gnaw marks. We'll show you what we find before we do anything else.
-
Clear Quote Before Any Work
After the inspection, we'll explain exactly what needs to be done, walk you through the options, and give you a written quote. No hidden add-ons, no pressure. You decide what to proceed with before we pick up a single tool.
-
Treatment, Exclusion & Cleanup
We complete the agreed work — trapping, exclusion sealing, bait station placement, or cleanup — and walk you through what we did. We clean up our own materials before we leave, and we'll tell you what follow-up signs to watch for and when to call back.

Local Context
Why Virginia Homes Face Year-Round Rodent Pressure
Virginia's humid subtropical climate — hot, wet summers followed by cold snaps — makes Henrico County's rodent season longer than most homeowners expect. Warm months allow populations to build in wall voids, attics, and crawl spaces. When temperatures drop in October and November, those populations push deeper into living spaces looking for warmth.
Henrico's older neighborhoods — many with homes built in the 1950s through 1980s — have construction characteristics that favor rodent entry: unprotected crawl space vents, aging pipe penetrations, and slab-edge gaps that develop as foundations settle. The wooded lots and creek corridors throughout the county provide a constant wildlife reservoir.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
The most reliable indicators are droppings, gnaw marks, grease trails along walls, and sounds — scratching or scurrying, usually at night. Mouse droppings are small (about 1/4 inch) and pointed at both ends; rat droppings are larger (1/2 to 3/4 inch) and blunt. The species matters because Norway rats and house mice require different trap types, bait, and exclusion approaches.
Same-day service is available when you call during our hours (5:00 AM to 11:00 PM ET, 7 days a week). Response time depends on current schedule and your location. Call us and we will give you an honest window.
Exclusion is physically sealing every gap, crack, and opening rodents use to enter your home. It is the only part of treatment that prevents re-infestation. Without it, removing the current colony just makes room for the next. We strongly recommend combining removal with exclusion for any active infestation.
Virginia's humid climate, Henrico's mix of mature wooded lots, and a significant stock of pre-1980 housing creates ideal conditions. Norway rats are persistent along the James River and creek corridors. Each fall, cold temperatures push established populations indoors — and older construction has more entry opportunities than new builds.
Yes. We use methods and products appropriate for residential settings and will explain exactly what we are using before we start. Snap traps and physical exclusion involve no chemicals at all. For any baiting, we will walk you through placement, timing, and any steps to take with pets.

What Henrico Homeowners Say
Real Reviews from Real Neighbors
"Called at 6 AM on a Saturday when I found rat droppings in my kitchen. Someone actually picked up. They were at my Glen Allen home by 10 AM, did a full inspection, explained everything clearly, and had traps set the same day. That level of service is rare."
"The exclusion work they did on our Short Pump townhome is outstanding. Methodical, clean, and they documented every sealed point with photos. Two seasons later — no mice. I've already recommended them to four neighbors."
"Roof rats in our Wyndham attic. I didn't even know roof rats existed in Virginia. They identified the species from the evidence, explained the difference in treatment, and handled the full attic cleanup after. These are actual specialists, not generalists with a rat trap."
"Professional, honest, and no pressure. They found the Norway rat burrow under my Lakeside porch and sealed it properly. Took a follow-up visit to confirm everything was clear, but they came back without extra charge. Solid service from a local company that knows this county."

A standard home inspection does not assess rodent entry points. In Henrico County's older housing stock, that gap can cost a new owner thousands in first-year pest control and exclusion work. Here is what to do instead.
