Signs You May Have a Rodent Problem
Seeing one rodent often means there are more hiding in the walls, attic, or crawlspace. Rodents are excellent at remaining unseen while causing significant property damage and health risks.
Foot Prints or Scratching Sounds
Noises in walls, ceilings, or under floors, especially at night.
Droppings
Small dark pellets found in cabinets, garages, or attics.
Grease & Rub Marks
Dark smudges along baseboards or walls where rodents travel.
Gnaw Marks
Chewed wood, plastic, or frayed wires posing fire hazards.
Unpleasant Odors
A strong, musky smell indicating a hidden infestation.
Sightings
Seeing live or dead rats or mice in or around your property.
Killing Rodents Isn't Enough.
Many companies focus only on trapping or baiting rodents. While this may temporarily reduce the population, new rodents will continue entering your home if access points remain open.

A comprehensive approach designed to eliminate current activity and prevent future infestations.
Thorough Inspection
We don't guess; we investigate. Our experts perform a detailed inspection to understand the full scope of the problem.
- Identify rodent species and activity levels
- Locate droppings, rub marks, gnawing, and nesting areas
- Find active entry points around the foundation and roofline
- Determine exact travel paths rodents are using
Seal Active Entry Points
Amerimax focuses on sealing the openings rodents are actually using. This provides the greatest return on investment and prevents you from paying thousands of dollars to seal every tiny gap around the home.
- Replace damaged vent screens with rodent-proof materials
- Seal holes around utility penetrations
- Repair gaps in foundations or siding
Note: Not every gap needs to be sealed. We focus strictly on the entry points that evidence shows rodents are actively using.
Remove Rodents Already Inside
Once entry points are sealed, we eliminate the rodents trapped inside using highly effective, strategic methods.
- Strategic placement of professional traps
- Ongoing monitoring and adjustment
- Hygienic removal of rodents
- Follow-up visits until activity is completely controlled
Protect the Exterior
Rodents are part of the surrounding environment. Even after the rodents inside are eliminated, new rodents from neighboring properties, hillsides, and vegetation will attempt to move in.
Amerimax installs secure, tamper-resistant exterior bait stations to reduce outside rodent pressure and provide ongoing, lasting protection for your property.
