"All I have to say is Rodent Control amazed me. We've had a rodent problem for quite some time now and we figured that we'd get it resolved, but we didn't want it done just by anyone. I did my research and Rodent Control caught my eye with their 5 stars on Yelp and I sent them a message. I got a reply right away spoke to the lovely lady in the office, Andrea. She told me exactly what they would do and how they could help get rid of the rodents, then we scheduled an evaluation that was very accommodating to my busy work schedule! Their representative Sam came out and was very knowledgeable and also very personable. He came and took a look at my property and informed me about what had to be done and gave me a quote. After their evaluation I had a few other companies come out just to keep my options open and I found myself coming back to Rodent Control because no one else could compare to their services to my liking. Not only that but no other company that had come out could compare to Rodent Control's customer service, they really want to help you the best way possible. I called Sam back and he was able to get his crew come out and do the job with me the following day. The crew came out and they did an amazing job. After a week or so their representative came out and took a look and made sure everything was okay. Let me say I have never slept so good in months until Rodent Control did their job! Their 5 stars are definitely earned and I would definitely recommend Rodent Control to anyone having rodents in their home if you want a good nights sleep."

"We had a variety of pests at our Orange County property. The pests were entering from multiple openings in and around our condo attic. Some had even entered into our living area. TriCounty came in and assessed the situation and gave our HOA a couple options. TriCounty began the process by first closing all entry points. Next, they set traps and monitored any potential activity for 2 weeks. Once they confirmed there was no activity, they scheduled the complete removal of all debris including insulation. Once the debris was removed, they completely sanitized the entire attic and replaced with new insulation. We are completely satisfied with their attention to detail and their care for the cleanliness of our property and living area. I highly recommend TriCounty Trappers for any pest control and remediation."

"Since I already have a pest control service that we have used many years I wanted a second opinion on a rodent/critter problem which didn't seem to be improving. I was given some very good advice on what to do now in approaching the company I am currently using. Since I didn't hire them to perform any work I gave a 4-star rating for the thoroughness of their opinion and how they would attack the problem. I appreciated this second opinion very much."

"He was very thorough but said he found termite evidence in the attic that could be treated at a hefty price. I'm getting a second opinion on this. After the second opinion from my regular exterminator I found they were a lot higher price."

FAQs for rodent pest control service projects in Santa Monica, CA

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.
