"When our landscaper said we had a bee problem after they were stung, we called in the experts at Critter Control. Roger and another tech arrived early for our appointment and went to examine the area after we provided them the information we had. Well---there was no bee nest found, nor any signs of bees in or around the utility boxes within the landscaped area. We are so grateful that Critter Control is upfront and honest. They gave us helpful information on signs to look for but didn't even charge us for their inspection service call. Now this is amazing customer service! Thanks Critter Control!"

"Ryan was super knowledgeable and he was one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Rhonda, who helped me set up the appointment was also very nice and gave top notch customer service. I am going to call right now and set up a continued service schedule. The first company I called wanted to come and give a quote. I want the pests gone NOW was my thought. My second company was Bug Defender and I am so glad I went with them."

"I ended up looking for a new pest control company after the business I used to deal with was bought up by a large corporation. The initial hire was for fire ant eradication and the ants started coming back shortly after the corporation took over. Jenkins Pest Control came the day after I found them here, and arrived an hour early for my appointment. They not only treated for fire ants. Fleas, roaches and spiders were included. This first treatment was kept outside since I have pet rabbits in the house. But they were very thorough, spraying both the yard and exterior of the house. So hopefully, we won't need any inside treatment. When they left the fire ant hills were gone. Their price is more reasonable than what I had paid previously for quarterly treatments. If their work keeps the ants out of my yard between visits, this will stay a 5 star review."

FAQs for rodent pest control service projects in Dayton, TX

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.
