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.
A technician walks the roofline, foundation, and utility penetrations to find every gap a rodent could be using, not just the obvious one.


Our Rodent Control crew is trained specifically on rat and mouse biology, not general pest spraying.
Rodent calls in Morton get prioritized scheduling since a small mouse problem can become a breeding population within weeks.
You get one flat quote covering trapping, gap sealing, and a scheduled follow-up — sealing costs are never a surprise add-on.
We use snap traps, tamper-resistant bait stations, hardware cloth, and steel wool for permanent gap sealing.
We trace grease trails along rafters and gable vents, which is where roof rat activity concentrates.
We inspect crawl spaces and foundation perimeters specifically for Norway rat burrow entrances.
House mice need only a quarter-inch gap, so mouse jobs focus heavily on sealing utility penetrations and door corners.
Trapping without sealing just invites the next rodent in — we close every identified gap with steel wool, hardware cloth, and sealant.
Morton warehouses and retail stores get scheduled bait station monitoring with service logs ready for any audit.
After removal, we can address contaminated insulation and droppings left behind in the attic.

Tell dispatch where the activity is: roofline, attic, or ground level, so the right technician and gear get assigned.
A technician arrives with snap traps, bait stations, and sealing materials already loaded for Morton rodent calls.
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.
Mice were getting into the pantry no matter how much steel wool I stuffed in myself. Turns out the real gap was behind the dryer vent.
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.
We'd tried every trap from the hardware store with no luck. The tech explained these were roof rats, not mice, and that changed everything about where traps went.

No matter which Morton 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.
