Residential Rodent Control in Cottonwood
Most of our Cottonwood work is residential. Homes here range from 1920s cottages in Old Town to newer builds in Verde Village, and each type has its own rodent problems. Older homes have more gaps because of original construction. Newer homes have tile roofs and stucco exteriors that look sealed but are not. Families call us because they hear scratching at night, find droppings in the garage, or notice a smell they cannot place. We handle the whole job: inspection, trapping, exclusion, cleanup and follow-up.
We trap roof rats and mice out of Cottonwood attics using snap traps and glue boards placed along the runways the rodents actually use. Traps are checked every three to four days until activity stops. Most attic jobs wrap up in 10 to 14 days.
We seal every opening larger than a quarter inch on your Cottonwood home, including roof jacks, vent screens, dryer vents, plumbing penetrations and garage door gaps. Materials are copper mesh, steel wool, hardware cloth and exclusion sealant. A typical home takes four to six hours.
After the rodents are gone, we remove contaminated insulation, bag the droppings, and treat the attic with disinfectant and enzyme cleaner. New insulation goes in once the space is dry. This is the step most homeowners forget to ask about.
Pack rats nest under sheds and in woodpiles on Cottonwood properties that back up to open desert. Mice get into kitchens and pantries through gaps as small as a pencil. We handle both with species-specific trapping and sealing.
- Flat pricing before we start, with the full trapping cycle included in the quote.
- Same technicians on the Cottonwood route, so they know the neighborhoods and the common problem spots.
- Two-year workmanship warranty on exclusion work, so if a sealed gap fails we come back and fix it.
