Professional Rodent Control and Extermination Services
Rodents are known for their ability to breed rapidly, which means their population can quickly get out of control. If you’ve seen even one rat, mouse, or rodent in or around your property, chances are there are many more you can’t see. When rodents invade your home or business, they can cause problems ranging from structural damage to spreading disease. Rodent control and extermination services from Midwest Pest Solutions provide effective pest removal with long-term prevention strategies to keep your property rodent-free.
Why Rodent Infestations Are Dangerous
Rodents aren’t just a nuisance—they pose serious health and safety risks. Mice, rats, and other rodents can spread diseases like hantavirus, salmonella, leptospirosis, and plague. Their constant gnawing can damage electrical wiring, leading to potential fire hazards. Additionally, rodents contaminate food sources, causing further health concerns for families and businesses. In the United States, rats alone are responsible for up to 19 billion dollars’ worth of damage to homes, businesses, and agriculture annually.
Ignoring the problem can lead to rapid population growth, as a single pair of rodents can produce hundreds of offspring in a year. That’s why prompt action with professional rodent extermination services is essential.
Comprehensive Rodent Inspection and Extermination
During the rodent inspection, Midwest Pest Solutions’ goal is to identify what type of rodent infestation we are dealing with and how they are gaining access to your home or property. Our process includes:
A detailed property assessment to determine entry points, nesting areas, and food sources.
Exterior and interior inspections, including hard-to-reach spaces like crawl spaces, attics, basements, and wall voids.
Identification of signs such as fecal droppings, gnaw marks, tracks, burrows, urine stains, rodent sounds, and odors.
Once the inspection is complete, we provide a customized treatment plan to remove the infestation and prevent future rodent problems.
Signs of a Rodent Infestation
If you suspect rodents in your home, here are three major signs you may have a problem:
1. Droppings and Urine Stains
One of the most common indicators of mouse or rat infestation is the presence of rodent droppings near food sources, inside cupboards, pantries, and along walls. These droppings can carry harmful bacteria, including salmonella and hantavirus, posing a serious health risk. If you notice dark, moist droppings, it’s likely a sign of current infestation.
2. Nesting Materials and Burrows
Rodents, including mice and rats, seek warm, undisturbed areas to build nests. They often use shredded paper, insulation, fabric, or plant materials to create a safe habitat for breeding. Finding these nests in attics, behind appliances, inside walls, or in basements is a strong indication of an active rodent problem.
3. Gnaw Marks and Property Damage
Rodents have strong incisors that continuously grow, forcing them to gnaw on materials like wood, drywall, electrical wiring, and food packaging. Rodent damage can lead to expensive repairs, electrical fires, and contamination of stored food. In the U.S., rats alone are responsible for billions of dollars in damage annually to homes, businesses, and agriculture.
Our Expert Rodent Control and Extermination Solutions
During the rodent inspection, Midwest Pest Solutions’ goal is to identify what type of rodent we are dealing with and how they are gaining access to your home or property. We do this by conducting an extensive inspection of the exterior and interior, including surveying the hard-to-reach places that mice and rodents like to use to build their nests. This includes the crawlspace and attic, if accessible. During our inspection we look for: fecal pellets, tracks, gnawing damage, burrows, urine stains, rodent sounds, and odors.
At Midwest Pest Solutions, we specialize in professional rodent extermination and long-term prevention. Our approach includes:
1. Rodent Trapping and Removal
We use effective trapping methods to eliminate mice and rats quickly. Our process includes bait stations, humane traps, and exclusion techniques to ensure complete removal.
2. Entry Point Sealing and Exclusion Services
Rodents can squeeze through openings as small as a dime (mice) or a quarter (rats). We conduct a thorough inspection to locate all potential entry points and seal them using steel mesh, caulk, and durable exclusion barriers to prevent future infestations.
3. Eco-Friendly and Pet-Safe Pest Control Solutions
We prioritize safe, environmentally friendly solutions that effectively remove rodents while ensuring the safety of your family, pets, and the environment.
4. Ongoing Monitoring and Prevention
Rodent control isn’t just about removal—it’s about long-term prevention. We offer regular monitoring and maintenance plans to ensure rodents don’t return. Our team provides recommendations on sanitation practices, food storage solutions, and structural modifications to reduce rodent attraction.
How to Prevent Future Rodent Infestations
Taking proactive measures can help keep your home or business rodent-free. Here are a few tips:
Seal all cracks and crevices around your foundation, doors, and windows.
Store food in airtight containers to prevent contamination.
Eliminate standing water sources that attract rodents.
Regularly clean up crumbs and spills, especially in kitchens and dining areas.
Keep clutter to a minimum, especially in storage areas where rodents can hide.

To get rid of rodents, it’s important to determine the exact species you’re dealing with. For example, if you have rats and select mice traps, the trapping mechanism isn’t large enough for the rats. Conversely, if you have mice and choose rat traps, the traps most likely won’t trigger for a mouse. Plus, each species behaves differently. Our highly-trained technicians know exactly where to look and what to look for. Understanding the differences between species increases our rodent program’s success, which is what separates us from the competition.
A lot of homeowners try do-it-yourself or over-the-counter solutions. The problem with this approach is it sometimes causes rodents to spread around your house, plus it’s often not enough to deal with large populations.

Managed to squeeze me in the last min on the same day I called, after seeing a mouse in the house, and was very thorough and informative. He came back to check traps 2 weeks later and was equally knowledgeable about how many mice might be in house and how to potentially stop our ant and spider issue. Knowledgeable about how the weather impacts each potential intruder.– Leonard B. in Oak Lawn, IL
