What is the best pest control method for rodents?

The best method for rodent control always varies based on your home’s unique situation but it usually includes taking preventative measures to keep rodents from entering, coupled with continuous management of potential problem areas and entry points. Following that, regular efforts to manage and prevent rodent infestations will give you the peace of mind you deserve.


After our initial inspection we will create a service plan to eliminate an active interior infestation with our advanced rodent services, we schedule follow-up services as needed until there is no longer evidence of an interior infestation. Hawx believes diligence and entry point management are the best interior solutions, while exterior traps and bait boxes keep new rodents from entering. We don’t place bait boxes or rodenticides on the interior of our customers’ homes because we do not believe in introducing “toxicants” into a home unnecessarily.Our priority is always the health and safety of our customers and their families.

How does rodent treatment work?

As part of our standard Rodent Add-on service, Hawx Pest Control conducts a thorough inspection for rodent activity during our walk-through, checking for signs of chewed materials, rodent nests, or rodent droppings.

Our standard rodent service also includes installing and monitoring bait stations outside your home near areas that our team has assessed as strategic areas. These baits are contained in tamper-resistant bait stations designed to keep children, pets and non-target animals from exposure. We regularly monitor these exterior bait stations each season as part of a Standard Rodent Add-on service program.

Our advanced rodent service is the treatment option if you already have an active interior rodent infestation. The service includes an interior inspection where our Service Professional will determine the species of rodent and their preferred food sources, nesting sites, and frequently visited areas. Our advanced rodent service includes everything in our standard rodent service, plus minor exclusion work such as filling structural holes and gaps as well as placing mechanical traps as needed.

How much does professional rodent treatment cost?
