Why this matters in Missouri

Mice and Norway rats are a fact of life around St. Louis County, especially as temperatures drop in October and November. A house mouse can squeeze through a hole the diameter of a pencil; a young rat can squeeze through a half-inch gap. Older Missouri housing stock — and even newer construction with sloppy utility penetrations — has plenty of both.

Trapping alone doesn't fix a rodent problem. The trick is finding how they got in, sealing it, and then clearing whatever's already inside. That's the work. We've been doing it in Eureka, Ballwin, Wildwood, and the surrounding cities for over five decades.

What we treat

Specifically. Locally. Knowledgeably.

  • House mice (the species behind 90% of MO indoor calls)
  • Norway rats (basements, garages, sheds, areas near water)
  • Roof rats (less common in our region but present)
  • Voles and field mice (lawn and outbuilding issues)

How Roger's treats it

The process, plainly.

  1. 1

    1. Inspect & Identify Entry Points

    We do a full exterior and interior walk-through to find every gap, crack, vent, and utility penetration rodents could be using. You can't trap your way out of an unsealed house.

  2. 2

    2. Exclude & Trap

    We seal entry points with rodent-proof materials (steel mesh, copper wool, sealants). Inside, we set traps and monitoring stations — not poison in open spaces where pets could find it.

  3. 3

    3. Monitor & Maintain

    Follow-up visits clear out captured rodents, confirm activity has stopped, and adjust the strategy if needed. We don't leave traps sitting indefinitely.

Safety

Safe for pets, kids, gardens.

Rodent stations outside are tamper-resistant and locked. Inside, we use snap traps in concealed locations — not poison in living spaces. We'll discuss bait stations only where appropriate and only with your informed go-ahead.

Pricing

Free inspection. Written quote.

We don't quote pest jobs over the phone. The inspection is free, the price is written, and you decide what happens next.

FAQ

Rodent questions

How do I know if I have mice or rats?

Mouse droppings are rice-grain sized; rat droppings are closer to a raisin. Mice are everywhere; rats prefer ground-floor and basement-level spaces near food and water. We'll confirm during the free inspection.

I have pets — what about poison?

We default to traps and exclusion. Bait stations are used only outdoors in locked, tamper-resistant boxes, or in specific cases where we discuss it with you first.

Will sealing entry points actually stop them?

Yes — combined with trapping. A mouse needs a 1/4-inch gap and a rat needs a 1/2-inch gap. If we seal every gap that size or larger, they have nowhere to come back in.

How long does it take to get rid of them?

Most infestations resolve in 2–4 weeks. Severe cases take longer; truly isolated entry points sometimes clear in a single visit.
