No more scratching in the walls or surprise guests in the pantry. We keep rodents out so you can relax.
Are Rodents Taking Over Your Home?
Few things are more unsettling than spotting a mouse or rat in your home, or hearing scratching in the walls at night. Beyond the discomfort, rodents pose a severe and expensive threat:
Fire Hazard: Mice and rats must constantly chew, and they frequently target electrical wiring in attics and wall voids, causing costly damage and creating a serious fire hazard that many competitors fail to mention.
Health Risk: Rodents spread harmful diseases like Hantavirus and Salmonella through their droppings and urine, putting your family and pets at risk.
Triangle Pest Control eliminates this threat using targeted exclusion treatments that combine smart baiting, precise trapping, and permanent sealing of entry points. This thorough approach removes active infestations and ensures your investment in your home is protected.
What Causes Rodent Infestations?
Rodents come inside looking for the three essentials: food, water, and shelter. What many homeowners don’t realize is how little space they need to enter:
Mice only need a gap the size of a dime (1/4 inch) to squeeze in, and rats need only a quarter-sized hole.
Common entry points are often hidden or overlooked: gaps around exterior utility lines, open crawl space vents, poorly sealed garage doors, and unsecured roof-soffit junctions.
Once inside, they multiply quickly and often nest in attics, basements, or wall voids, not only causing damage but also contaminating insulation with their droppings, which may require professional cleanup.
Ongoing Prevention
The best defense against rodents is a guaranteed, proactive prevention plan. Our experts don’t just treat the visible problem; they focus on long-term exclusion and protection:
Elimination & Exclusion: We first eliminate the active infestation, then seal off all potential entry points (1/4 inch and larger) using durable, rodent-proof materials like galvanized steel mesh and concrete sealant.
Sanitation Guidance: We provide guidance on sanitation and storage to make your home less inviting, focusing on proper food storage and managing moisture sources.
Ongoing Monitoring: We return for scheduled follow-up visits to inspect the sealed areas, check discrete bait and monitoring stations, and ensure that your home stays protected year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes rodent exclusion different from regular pest control?
Think of regular pest control as kicking the current rodents out. It helps manage the immediate party crashers. Exclusion, however, is like permanently boarding up the front door and all the secret windows. We seal every entry point the mice and rats use to get inside. When combined, they’re the perfect one-two punch that keeps your home totally worry free for the long haul.
Why is rodent exclusion so effective in Raleigh and Durham homes?
Homes here often have crawl spaces, attic vents, and aging foundations, which are all open invitations for mice and rats. By sealing these “back doors,” exclusion removes the access they rely on. According to NC State Extension, structure-invading rats can squeeze through surprisingly small gaps, which is why closing them off is so important.
How does Triangle Pest Control perform a rodent exclusion service?
Our team plays detective! First, inspecting attics, crawl spaces, and foundations for any spot a mouse could squeeze through (and yes, they can fit through a dime-sized gap). Then we seal those areas with tough materials rodents can’t chew through. It’s like child-proofing your home, but for rodents.
What are the signs of a rodent infestation?
Common clues include scratching in the walls, droppings in cabinets or pantries, and gnawed food packaging. You may also notice grease marks along baseboards or chewed wires. In North Carolina, house mice remain active year-round, which makes catching these signs early especially important.
Are rodents dangerous to have in the home?
Unfortunately, yes. Beyond the “ick factor,” rodents can spread bacteria, trigger allergies, and chew wires (hello, fire hazard). The good news? Professional rodent removal clears them out, and exclusion keeps them from coming back.
