Rodents don’t stay a small problem for long. A few mice or rats in your home or business can mean chewed wiring, contaminated food, and a health risk for your family or customers — and the longer it goes untreated, the worse the damage gets. PestLock provides rodent control for residential and commercial properties throughout Portland, Vancouver, and the surrounding area. Every visit starts with a free inspection to identify exactly what you’re dealing with, followed by an environmentally responsible treatment plan to lock rodents out for good.
Signs you have a rodent problem
Droppings near food storage or along walls, gnaw marks on wood, wiring, or packaging, scratching sounds in walls or the attic (especially at night), a stale, musky odor, and greasy smudge marks where rodents repeatedly brush against baseboards or framing.
Mice or rats? Here’s how to tell
Not sure which you’re dealing with? Here’s a quick way to narrow it down:
- Mice — smaller, lighter droppings (about the size of a grain of rice), and more likely to nest inside walls, cabinets, and storage areas.
- Rats — larger droppings, louder movement in walls or ceilings, and more likely to nest in crawl spaces, attics, or burrows outside.
If you’re still not sure, our free inspection will identify the species and the extent of the problem before we recommend treatment.
Why rodent control matters:
Beyond the immediate nuisance, rodents are the number-one cause of electrical fires linked to pest activity, since they gnaw through wiring as their teeth continuously grow. They also contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine, and can carry parasites that spread disease. Acting early is almost always less costly than waiting until the infestation spreads.
