Scratching in the attic at night is almost always roof rats working the roofline, while ground-level droppings near the pantry usually mean house mice — our technicians identify the species before setting a single trap.
We trace gnaw marks, grease trails, and droppings back to the actual entry gap before quoting trapping and exclusion work.


Our Rodent Control crew is trained specifically on rat and mouse biology, not general pest spraying.
Rodent calls in Shepherd get prioritized scheduling since a small mouse problem can become a breeding population within weeks.
Pricing is quoted after inspection and covers both removal and the exclusion work needed to keep rodents from returning.
Our vehicles carry door sweeps, vent screening, and expanding sealant specifically for rodent exclusion work.
Roof rats travel roofline, eaves, and attic spaces, so trapping is placed along their actual travel paths, not just on the attic floor.
Norway rats burrow at the foundation and under sheds, so exterior bait stations and burrow treatment are part of the plan.
Snap traps go along interior travel routes — usually baseboards and cabinet edges — where mouse activity is heaviest.
Exclusion work covers roofline gaps, vent screens, garage door corners, and utility line penetrations.
Commercial rodent accounts get recurring exterior station checks documented for compliance records.
Rodent nesting material and waste get cleared as part of a full-service attic remediation add-on.

Tell dispatch where the activity is: roofline, attic, or ground level, so the right technician and gear get assigned.
Our mobile units stock hardware cloth and steel wool on every rodent-flagged dispatch.
Inspection covers attic, foundation, and utility penetrations, with species ID driving trap placement.
Guarantee coverage means a return visit is free if activity continues past the stated window.
Scratching in the attic at 2am for a week straight — the technician found a roofline gap the size of a golf ball and sealed it same visit.
Our warehouse had rodent activity near the loading dock and Nex Pest Control set up a monitored station program with logs for our next audit.
Knowing the difference between a Norway rat burrow and a roof rat travel path was something we never would have figured out ourselves.

No matter which Shepherd neighborhood you're in, a technician equipped for rat and mouse-specific work can reach you the same day.

Mouse droppings are small and rod-shaped; rat droppings are noticeably larger, and the entry gap size differs too — mice fit through a quarter-inch, rats need closer to a half-dollar.
Trapping removes the current rodents, but sealing the gap is what prevents the next one from moving in — both steps matter.
