Rodents like mice and rats can cause serious property damage, contaminate food, and spread dangerous diseases. Whether they’re gnawing through walls, chewing on electrical wires, or leaving behind droppings, rodents multiply quickly—making early intervention critical.
At True Guard Pest & Wildlife, we offer effective, humane, and long-term rodent control solutions for homes and businesses across Washington. Our customized approach eliminates infestations and prevents rodents from coming back.
Rodents are nocturnal and secretive, but their presence leaves behind clear warning signs:
✔ Droppings in Kitchens, Pantries & Attics – Rodent droppings are small, dark, and often found near food sources or nesting areas.
✔ Scratching & Scurrying Noises – Heard in walls, ceilings, or under floors, especially at night.
✔ Gnawed Wires, Wood, or Insulation – Mice and rats chew constantly, which can create fire hazards and structural damage.
✔ Unusual Pet Behavior – Dogs and cats may be alert or fixated on walls or small openings, sensing rodent activity.
✔ Grease Marks & Urine Trails – Rats leave oily rub marks along baseboards, and rodent urine can leave a strong ammonia smell.
Ignoring a rodent problem can lead to rapid population growth, increased health risks, and costly property damage.
At True Guard Pest & Wildlife, we use scientifically proven methods to eliminate rodents and prevent reinfestation.

Mice and rats can enter through gaps as small as a dime. Common entry points include gaps under doors, holes in siding, vents, and foundation cracks.
Yes. Rodents spread diseases like hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis. They also contaminate food and can chew through electrical wiring, creating fire hazards.
Mice can have up to 10 litters per year, with each litter containing 5-12 pups. A small infestation can quickly become a major problem if left untreated.
DIY traps may catch a few rodents, but they rarely eliminate the entire infestation. Professional rodent control ensures long-term removal and prevention.
Most infestations can be controlled within a few weeks, but sealing entry points and implementing prevention measures is essential for lasting results.
The best prevention steps include:
✔ Sealing entry points around your home
✔ Keeping food in airtight containers
✔ Reducing clutter and storing items off the ground
✔ Removing outdoor attractants, such as open garbage or pet food
Rodents can damage your home, spread disease, and contaminate food—don’t wait until the problem gets worse. Contact True Guard Pest & Wildlife for professional, fast, and effective rodent control solutions.
