Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a rodent problem in my home?
Look for droppings near baseboards or in cabinets, gnaw marks on food packaging or wood trim, grease smudges along walls where rodents travel, and scratching sounds in walls or attics at night. Catching these signs early makes treatment faster and less invasive.
What time of year are rodents most active?
Like most of Maryland, activity picks up in fall and winter as rats and mice seek warm indoor shelter. Scheduling an inspection before the weather turns is the best way to stay ahead of an infestation.
What kinds of rodents does Atlantic Pest Control treat?
We handle rats, mice, Norway rats, and roof rats for homes and businesses, as well as less common rodent species.
What does your rodent control process look like?
We start with a full inspection to identify entry points and nesting sites, then set up exterior baiting around the perimeter of your property. Depending on what we find, we’ll recommend either a one-time treatment or an ongoing plan.
Do you treat rodents in businesses, or just homes?
Both. Whether it’s a rodent problem in your home or your business, our process is the same: inspect, treat, and prevent rodents from coming back.
What happens if rodents come back after your treatment?
We’ll return for free retreatments at no additional cost. We stand behind our work until the problem is actually resolved, not just addressed once.
What’s included in your pest control service?
Our service starts with a full inspection to identify the pest and how it’s getting in. From there, we treat the problem at the source and address entry points to help prevent it from coming back.
