"The last company I hired left us with a mice problem. However after about a month was brought under control. They mentioned a sure way to totally eliminate rodents but with my 100 year old home I couldn’t be convinced. They’ve done well so far."

I am very disappointed with the overall service I received from Blue Valley Pest Control. I called Chris (the owner) because I had noticed that insects were putting holes in our front doorframe. Chris came over and inspected our property and took care of the run-of-the-mill insects but said that he was unsure what was causing the holes in our doorframe. He said that his best guess was that they were carpenter ants and that he would treat them as such. I was a little bit surprised by the fact that he was unable to identify the cause of the damage when he claims to have over 30 years of experience. Nonetheless, I had him treat for the carpenter ants.

Later that day, I contacted Chris again to let him know that I was fortunate enough to witness the insect going back into one of the holes and that I took a couple pictures of it. He asked me to send him the pictures so he could properly identify it and so we could take the proper course of action. However, after sending him the pictures, I never heard back from him. I have tried calling him, leaving him a couple voicemails, and even sent him an email (all of which were ignored). I was quite surprised because Chris has a great personality and seemed very friendly. As a result, I am now forced to contact another pest control company to take care of what I expected Blue Valley Pest Control to do in the first place.

"The guys were very courteous and cleaned up after themselves. Doug was willing to work with my schedule when I had a family emergency come up and the workers were always on time. The stain on all cabinet pieces match, the hardware is even, and the paint is smooth and shows no lines. The quote they gave me was extremely close and they consulted with me when another can of clear was needed. They covered my floors and appliances so that they wouldn't get paint on them and cleaned their shoes so they didn't track any through my living room.. I will definitely get ahold of these guys when the warm weather returns to have them work on my next project.

FAQs for rodent pest control service projects in Smithville, MO

Rodent exclusion seals every gap, vent, and crack that rodents use to sneak inside your home. Most homeowners pay an average of $200 to $600 for this add-on. By blocking entry points, you create a long-term barrier that cuts down on repeat infestations and helps protect both your family and your property.

Pros start with an inspection, then place tamper-resistant bait stations and traps in high-traffic spots. They’ll also seal entry points and clean droppings to reduce health risks. Follow-up visits confirm that the plan worked and that no new rodents have moved in. This step-by-step approach removes the current infestation and helps keep your home rodent-free going forward.

A trained pest-control pro can pinpoint hidden access points using a flashlight, thermal imaging, and plenty of crawl-space sleuthing. During an inspection, the specialist maps every gap, vent, or pipe run that rats use, then explains how to seal each one. This detailed report lets you tackle the weak spots immediately and dramatically lowers the odds of another infestation.

Rodent prevention starts with managing food and entry points. Store pantry items in airtight containers, take out trash promptly, and keep pet food sealed. Outside, trim vegetation and stack firewood away from the house. Inside, seal gaps with steel wool or hardware cloth. A tidy yard and a buttoned-up home give rats and mice few reasons—or routes—to move in.

For wall or attic nests, pros place snap traps or CO2-powered units in the exact runways rats use, then return to remove carcasses and reset as needed. Poison is risky indoors because rats may die in hidden spots, creating odors or health issues, so most technicians avoid it. Once trapping is complete, they’ll seal entry points and clean droppings to finish the job.

Plan on several weeks, especially for larger infestations. Your pro will set traps, return every few days to collect rats, and adjust placement until activity stops. Final visits include sealing access points and sanitizing affected areas. Timelines vary, but most homes are rat-free after two to four follow-ups. Prompt scheduling and good sanitation can shorten the process.
