The treatment

We Seal the Entry Points, Not Just Set Traps

A mouse needs a gap the size of a dime. We walk the structure and find the openings.

Foundation cracks. Gaps where pipes and utility lines enter. Garage door edges. Attic and gable vents. Sill plates where the frame meets the foundation. The entry point is usually somewhere you have walked past for years. Older Evansville and Newburgh homes sit on crawl spaces, and settled sill plates open gaps nobody sees. That is how rodents get in. Finding the opening is the point of the inspection.

Zach still likes to take that first visit himself as often as he can. He wants to see the problem with his own eyes, because that is how the job gets scoped right. When he cannot get there, it is Dylan, our General Manager, or one of the crew, working the same way.

Then we seal, closing each opening so it stands up to teeth. Rodents chew straight through expanding foam, wood, caulk, and plastic, so those are not real repairs. Metal is what stops teeth.

The materials exclusion work is built on are the ones a rodent cannot get through. Steel wool and copper mesh pack into a gap tight enough to stop an incisor. Hardware cloth fastens across a vent or a larger opening where packing will not hold. All three are standard in the trade for the same reason: teeth do not win against metal.

Which one an opening actually needs depends on the opening. Every gap gets looked at on its own before anything goes into it, because a sill plate gap and a dryer vent are not the same repair.

This is the part that lasts. A trap catches the mouse already inside. It does nothing about the opening. Sealing entry points means the next one has nowhere to walk in. That is the difference between finishing the job and refilling traps monthly.

The Real Treatment Process: Removing What Is Already Inside

Removal and sealing run together, in the right order. Set traps without closing the entry points and new mice replace the ones you catch. Seal the building with rodents still inside and you shut them into the structure. Both halves belong to the same job.

We do not scatter traps and hope. Droppings, grease trails, and gnawing show us the runways rodents actually use. Our equipment goes there. Stations are tamper-resistant, and we place them where pets and children cannot reach. Knowing the signs of rodents helps you point us to the right rooms, and the sealing side follows exclusion basics. Our crew handles the removal and the material, so you are not dealing with it.

This is not a one-afternoon job. Plan on days to a couple of weeks, depending on population size, with return visits to check stations and monitors.

Activity has to stop before we close the job. Our crew checks the stations and monitors over consecutive visits, and they come back showing nothing, with no new droppings and no fresh gnawing. That is what confirmed gone means. Keeping it that way is what the recurring plan is for, and callbacks between scheduled visits are free on a quarterly or monthly plan.

The inspection is free and the quote comes in writing. Call (812) 401-1028 and we will find the openings first.

Cleanup After Rodent Activity

Getting the rodents out is not the end of it. What they left behind is still there.

Droppings, urine, and nesting material sit in insulation, drawers, cabinets, attics, and crawl spaces. Taking the rodents out does not make any of that disappear. That part often gets left for the homeowner to deal with.

We handle it. When the job calls for it, we clean up what they left behind and disinfect the area as part of the job. Droppings and nesting material come out with us.

There is a practical reason it belongs with the crew. Do not sweep or vacuum droppings up dry, because that puts particles into the air. Droppings and nesting material can carry disease. We have the equipment to handle it properly.

Kitchens, pantries, nurseries, and any space where food is stored or prepared get particular attention.

What It Costs and the Alpha-Dog Promise

Across this industry, rodent work generally runs between $180 and $600. That is market research, not our quote. We do not post a rodent price, because the job is not a standard one.

What moves the number is exclusion scope: how many entry points there are, how big they are, and how hard they are to reach. A single gap behind a dryer vent is a short job. A sill plate open along a whole side of the house is not.

So we come look first. The inspection is free. You get a written quote before we start. Nobody works off a guess over the phone.

Then the Alpha-Dog Promise. Rodent work is protected by the schedule rather than by a warranty, because the pressure returns every fall whatever we did in spring. We keep coming back on a quarterly or monthly plan, and callbacks between those visits are free on that plan.

More on how the entry points get sealed is in our rodent control and exclusion guide.

Rodent pressure comes back every fall, so most customers end up on a plan. Callbacks between scheduled visits are free on a quarterly or monthly plan. Call (812) 401-1028.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does rodent control cost?

It depends on exclusion scope: how many entry points and how reachable they are. Industry research puts rodent work between $180 and $600. That is market data, not our quote. Free inspection, written quote before work starts.

Do you actually seal the entry points, or just set traps?

We seal them, closing each opening with something rodents cannot chew back through. Traps handle what is already inside. Sealing is the part that keeps the next one out.

How long does the whole job take?

Not one afternoon. Usually a stretch of days to a couple of weeks, depending on the population size. We make return visits to check stations and monitors before we close it out.

Is this safe around my pets?

We use tamper-resistant stations, placed where pets and children cannot get to them. Tell us where your pets go and we work around it. No product is harmless, so placement is what matters.

How do I keep mice from coming back?

The sealing does it. Keep cover off the foundation, firewood and clutter away from the wall, and food sources cut off. Check the garage door seal and attic vents each fall.

Do I have mice or rats?

Droppings are the fastest tell. Mouse droppings are small with pointed ends. Rat droppings are noticeably bigger. It changes the scope of the job, so we confirm it at the inspection.
