How do I know if I have rats or mice?

Rats are larger with thicker tails; droppings are about 1/2 to 3/4 inch. Mice are smaller with thinner tails; droppings are small and pointed (1/8 to 1/4 inch). Our technicians can accurately identify the species during inspection.

Is the rodent proofing work guaranteed?

Yes. We stand by our exclusion work. Depending on scope, we offer guarantees that rodents will not re-enter through the areas we have sealed. Details are in your service agreement.

How long does rodent control take?

Trapping and baiting typically show results within days to a few weeks. Proofing is completed in one or more visits. We provide follow-up monitoring as needed.

Rodent Control

Verminator provides comprehensive rodent management for rats and mice, combining humane trapping or baiting with robust exclusion (proofing) to seal entry points and prevent re-entry. Our approach targets the root cause for long-term results.
