Rodent Control in Baltimore, MD

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. Baltimore’s rowhomes and older housing stock make these signs easy to miss at first since shared walls and attics give rodents more hidden routes between units.

Activity picks up in fall and winter as temperatures drop and rats and mice look for warm, dry shelter indoors. That’s when we see the most calls, so it’s worth scheduling an inspection before cold weather sets in rather than after you’ve already heard scratching in the walls.

We handle rats, mice, Norway rats, and roof rats throughout the Baltimore area, as well as less common species that occasionally appear in older homes and commercial buildings.

We start with a full inspection to find entry points and nesting sites, then set up exterior baiting to create a barrier around your home’s perimeter. From there, we tailor the plan to the property, whether that’s a one-time treatment or ongoing protection, since a rowhome with shared walls needs a different approach than a detached home in the suburbs.

Store-bought traps catch what’s already inside, but they don’t address how rodents are getting in or the rest of the colony outside. That’s the gap our inspection and exterior baiting are built to close, especially in Baltimore’s older homes where small gaps around foundations, utility lines, and rooflines are common entry points.

We’ll return for free re-treatments at no additional cost. Our goal is a rodent-free home, not just a one-time visit, so if you’re still seeing activity after we’ve treated your property, call us, and we’ll come back out.
