How does Bug Zapper get rid of rats and mice?

Bug Zapper eliminates rodents through a combination of trapping, baiting, and exclusion. We seal entry points to prevent re-entry and remove existing rodents from your home. Our service includes a 1-year pest-free guarantee with unlimited re-treatments.

How do rodents get into my house?

Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as a dime, and rats through gaps the size of a quarter. Common entry points include gaps around pipes, dryer vents, garage doors, foundation cracks, and roof eaves. Bug Zapper identifies and seals these entry points as part of our service.

Is rodent control safe for pets?

Yes. Bug Zapper uses tamper-resistant bait stations and pet-safe methods for rodent control. We place traps and stations in locations that minimize risk to pets and children.

How long does it take to get rid of mice?

Most rodent infestations can be significantly reduced within 1-2 weeks. Complete elimination, including sealing entry points and monitoring, typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on the severity of the infestation.

Problem solved properly

Rodents Don’t Stay Hidden for Long.

Rats and mice can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps before settling into attics, crawl spaces, garages, walls, and storage areas. Once inside, they chew wiring, damage insulation, and leave behind droppings and nesting material. We identify how they’re getting in, remove the activity, and seal the entry points we find.

What you get with Bug Zapper

We Don’t Just Trap. We Find the Entry Points.

Rodent jobs don’t end when the traps are set. Closing the gaps they used to get inside is just as important as removing what’s already there.

HOW WE DO IT

Complete Rodent Control From Inspection To Protection.

We remove the rodents and close the openings they used. Otherwise, the same access point is still there.

Inspect

We inspect the crawlspace, attic, interior, exterior, and activity areas to understand exactly what is happening.

Install

We place professional equipment in the right locations, including traps, bait, and a rodent barrier around the home.

Seal

We identify and close off access points so the home is not left open for another round of rodent activity.

Maintain

We help maintain a 24/7 rodent barrier because left alone, many homes can face repeat infestations.

Good to know

Why Do Rodents Keep Coming Back?

Rats and mice are excellent at finding tiny gaps, hidden routes, and warm places to nest. Even after one rodent is gone, the oil and scent they leave behind can attract more rodents later.

Mice can fit through extremely small openings.
Rats can chew constantly because their teeth keep growing.
Rodents can damage appliances, insulation, food, vehicles, and wiring.
Two rats can become a much larger population quickly if the issue is ignored.

Rodents rarely stop at one trap.

We look for activity, access, nesting pressure, and the conditions that invite rodents in.

What Oregon Customers Say

QUICK QUESTIONS

Before You Reach Out.

How do I know if I have rats or mice?

If you hear activity in the walls or see rodent-like droppings, you likely have a rodent issue. Waiting until you see a live rat or mouse usually allows the problem to grow.

Is your rodent service pet safe?

Yes. The service is designed with pets in mind, including locked equipment, the right products, and a careful game plan.

What makes your rodent service different?

Bug Zapper does not just set a few traps. The team inspects deeply, uses pro equipment, closes entry points, follows up, and helps prevent future rodents.

Can I handle rodents myself?

DIY options are often inconsistent. Professionals know where to look, how to treat, what equipment to use, and how to prevent a repeat problem.
