Customized rodent control services
Rodent Inspection
When you contact Getem Services about getting rid of mice and/or rats, we'll start by performing a comprehensive inspection to determine the size, nature, and location of the infestation. Our highly-trained rodent exterminators are thorough and inspect both inside and outdoors, including, but not limited to the attic and crawl space. If there's rodent activity on your property, you can count on us to find it!
Upon completion of our rodent inspection, your pest control specialist will review findings, recommend a plan, and then we'll provide you with a rodent control quote.
Rodent Control Solutions
When you partner with our team of experts we will implement a multi-step solution that uses a combination of removal methods to eliminate the existing rodent population and prevent new rodent activity from occurring. Our services are customized to your home or business but may include:
- Installing interior rodent traps (including attic & crawl space)
- Using exterior bait stations
- Rodent exclusion services
After our initial service is complete, we'll return for three follow-up visits- one every seven days. Should you see or smell rodents in traps in between our follow-ups, simply give us a shout and we'll handle it.
Rodent Exclusion
If, during our inspection, we notice potential entry points and other conducive conditions, we'll let you know and recommend exclusion services. Exclusion, or pest-proofing, consists of sealing up cracks, gaps, and other openings that mice and rats can squeeze through, including:
- Foundation vents
- Screen vents
- Openings around pipes and utilities
- Crawl space doors
- Holes in the walls
- And more!

Rodent Control
Aside from making you uncomfortable in your own home, mice and rats can actually endanger the health and well-being of your family by transmitting bacteria, contaminating food sources, biting, and scratching.

- Musky odor coming from hidden areas or inside walls
- Materials that can be used for nesting, such as shredded paper, fabric, cardboard, etc.
