Hawx Pest Control - Google reviews

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐  5.0 rating of 37924 reviews
Dan Baldwin, Entomologist

The hardest pest that any pest control company will deal with is the alpha roof rat—the last roof rat that has been left behind by the others that you can chase around endlessly.

But you can prevent them from entering in the first place using structural modifications and cleaning. Cleaning the outside of your home can help because if there are leftover smells from other rodents, it will attract more. If they are on the inside, we know there’s a vulnerability somewhere. For rodent treatments, the Hawx inspection process drives the treatment process.

How Hawx Rodent Pest Control Works:

  • Full Interior & Exterior Inspection
  • A Hawx expert technician surveys attics, crawl spaces, and perimeter zones to confirm species, entry routes, and nesting sites—laying the groundwork for a targeted plan that stops a rodent infestation in its tracks.

  • Strategic Exterior Bait Stations
  • Tamper‑resistant stations are installed along foundation lines and high‑traffic runways. Only rodents can access the bait, which is monitored and refreshed at each seasonal GPC visit for continuous mice and rat pest control.

  • One‑Time Trapping & Exclusion (If Needed)
  • When rats or mice are already indoors, we offer specialized trapping paired with exclusion repairs like sealing gaps, vents, and utility penetrations to quickly remove mice and rats and block future intrusions.

  • Long‑Term Monitoring & Reporting
  • Each follow‑up includes bait‑level checks, perimeter assessments, and digital service reports with photos and recommendations, so you always know your home’s rodent defense is working.

    Our rodent pest control services are available as add-ons to your existing General Pest Control (GPC) plan. You receive targeted pest control for rodents like mice and rats while still benefiting from our GPC plan’s comprehensive coverage for common insects.

What to Expect with Rodent Treatments

Here’s what you can expect when you contact Hawx for rodent pest control:

1. After adding rodent service to your Hawx General Pest Control plan, we’ll schedule a convenient appointment and send a brief prep list (think clearing clutter near walls).

2. Your technician will perform a thorough inspection inside and out, then places exterior bait stations in discreet yet effective spots.

3. If interior activity is found, we’ll recommend one‑time trapping and exclusion to get rid of rats and/or mice. The visit typically wraps up in about an hour, and all products are pet‑ and family‑safe once dry.

4. Seasonal check‑ins keep stations fresh and barriers tight, giving you peace of mind that rats or mice stay away.

Hearing scratching in the walls or spotting chew marks on pantry boxes? Rats and mice have likely moved in, but Hawx can show them the door. Our rodent experts track runways, nesting zones, and entry cracks, then deploy tailored baiting, trapping, and exclusion to clear every last hideout. After the initial clean‑out, we check back to be sure your defenses hold strong. Want a quieter, cleaner home? Reach out for a free estimate and get back to enjoying a rodent-free living space.

Expert’s Take

Rodents are smart, social, and quick to learn, making them the toughest pests we tackle—especially the elusive “alpha” roof rat that easily dodges almost every new trap. They go wherever risk is low and reward is high, so true protection starts with sealing entry points and removing food scents outside. During a Hawx inspection, we pinpoint those vulnerabilities first, then design the treatment plan that keeps rats and mice out for good.

FAQs

How can I tell if I have a rodent infestation?

Look for gnaw marks on food containers, droppings along baseboards, and scratching sounds in walls or ceilings, especially at night. You might also notice greasy rub marks near entry points where rodents squeeze through gaps.

Yes. Rodents can spread pathogens such as salmonella and hantavirus, and their constant gnawing may damage wiring or insulation, posing a fire risk. Professional rodent pest control keeps health hazards and potential costly repairs to a minimum.

Clear clutter along walls, store food in sealed containers, and make sure pets can’t access bait‑station areas. These steps allow your Hawx rodent exterminator to work efficiently and maximize results.

No. Our tamper‑resistant stations lock securely, so only rodents can access the bait inside. This design lets us safely remove rodents without endangering curious kids or household pets.

Seal gaps around pipes and vents, trim vegetation touching the house, and keep trash cans tightly closed. Coupled with Hawx’s follow‑up checks, these habits make your home far less inviting to mice and rats looking for a free meal and a place to live.
