Hearing Scratching in Your Attic or Walls? It Could Be Rodents.
Rats and mice can enter homes through small gaps and openings around the roof, attic vents, walls, plumbing penetrations, and other vulnerable areas. Our Houston rat and mice removal service identifies rodent activity, locates entry points, removes the rodents, and seals identified openings to help prevent re-entry.

How Rats & Mice Get Inside Your Home
Rodents can enter through openings much smaller than homeowners expect.
Rats and mice can access homes through weep holes, gaps around pipes and utility lines, openings around the roof and attic, and other vulnerable areas around the structure. An opening around the size of a quarter can be enough for some rats to gain access, while mice can squeeze through even smaller gaps.
Weep Holes
Unprotected weep holes around brick exteriors can provide rodents with an accessible opening into the structure.
Small Gaps & Openings
Rats can squeeze through surprisingly small openings, while mice can enter through gaps even smaller than the size of a quarter.
Roof & Utility Openings
Gaps around vents, soffits, pipes, wiring, and utility penetrations can give rodents additional ways into the home.
