Rodent Control in Polacca Done by Local Techs

Rodent Control in Polacca is a category of pest management that removes rodents from a building, seals the entry points they used, and decontaminates the areas they fouled. It is needed when you hear scratching at night, find droppings in the attic or kitchen, or notice gnawed wires. AridShield Rodent Control works Polacca and the surrounding Navajo County communities every week, and we know how rodents behave here. Pack rats build nests in woodpiles and under sheds. Roof rats run power lines and enter through roof tile gaps. Mice squeeze through openings the width of a pencil. We handle all three, plus the cleanup most homeowners do not want to touch. Our technicians carry inspection mirrors, flashlights, thermal imaging cameras and borescopes to find activity behind walls and under insulation. We use Victor snap traps, Catchmaster glue boards, Havahart live catch traps and Bell Laboratories bait stations, and we seal with copper mesh, steel wool, hardware cloth and exclusion sealant. Every job starts with a full inspection and ends with proof the building is closed.

Polacca has a mix of older homes, modular housing and small commercial buildings, and most sit within a short walk of open desert. That proximity means rodent pressure never really stops. Pack rats gather cholla and mesquite cuttings into dens, roof rats use utility poles and roof edges as highways, and mice follow plumbing and electrical penetrations straight into wall voids. We serve Polacca because the demand is steady and the work is specific. A technician who understands desert rodent behavior solves the problem faster than someone guessing. We also serve the surrounding Navajo County area, so Polacca is not a one-off stop for us.

Rodent Exclusion

Exclusion is how we keep rodents out of your Polacca building for good. We seal gaps with copper mesh, steel wool, hardware cloth and exclusion sealant, then verify every penetration. Roof lines, foundation vents, utility entries and garage doors get the most attention because those are the openings rodents use most.

Rodent Inspection

A Polacca rodent inspection takes 45 to 90 minutes and covers the attic, crawlspace, garage, kitchen, exterior perimeter and roofline. We use inspection mirrors, flashlights, thermal imaging cameras and borescopes to find activity you cannot see. You get a written report with photos and a clear plan.

Rodent Proofing & Prevention

Prevention work in Polacca focuses on the openings rodents reuse season after season. We install exclusion mesh over vents, seal pipe penetrations, repair damaged screens and close gaps around doors. We also set rodent bait stations around the exterior where appropriate, which keeps pressure off the building itself.

◎

Rat Control

Rat control in Polacca means dealing with both roof rats and pack rats. Roof rats climb and nest high. Pack rats nest low and gather debris. We identify which species you have, then use the right traps and bait placements for that behavior. Most rat jobs need two to three weeks of active trapping.

Roof Rat Removal

Roof rats in Polacca enter through roof tile gaps, eaves and attic vents, then run the same routes every night. We trap them inside the attic and on the roof line, then seal the entry points with copper mesh and exclusion sealant. We also trim back tree limbs that touch the structure.

See details ↓07

␁

Pack Rat Removal

Pack rats build dens in woodpiles, under sheds, in vehicle engine bays and inside yard debris. In Polacca we remove the animal, clear the nest and treat the area with disinfectant. We also remove the attractants that brought them in, because pack rats return to the same spot if the conditions stay the same.

↯

Mouse Control

Mice in Polacca get into kitchens, pantries, garages and wall voids through openings the size of a pencil. We trap them with snap traps and glue boards placed along walls and inside cabinets, then seal the entry points. Most mouse jobs are resolved in one to two weeks with two or three visits.

See details ↓09

≈

Rodent Trapping

Trapping is the core of what we do in Polacca. We use Victor snap traps, Catchmaster glue boards and Havahart live catch traps depending on the species and the location. Traps are checked on a set schedule, and we do not leave a job until activity has stopped for at least two consecutive checks.

Attic Rodent Cleanup & Decontamination

Attic cleanup in Polacca removes droppings, urine-soaked insulation and nesting material, then disinfects and deodorizes the space. We bag all droppings, apply enzyme cleaner and disinfectant, and replace damaged insulation where needed. This is the step most homeowners skip, and it is the one that removes the odor and the health risk.

Who we serve in Polacca

Two very different jobs. One local crew.

For homes

Residential Rodent Control in Polacca

Most of our Polacca calls come from homeowners dealing with rats or mice in the attic, kitchen or garage. The housing mix here includes older construction, modular homes and rural properties, and each has its own rodent vulnerabilities. Older homes have unsealed utility penetrations. Modular homes have gaps at the marriage line and under skirting. Rural properties have outbuildings, woodpiles and open desert nearby. We handle all of it. Our residential service includes inspection, trapping, exclusion and attic cleanup, and we schedule around your workday.

01Attic rodent removal and trapping

Attic rodent removal in Polacca targets roof rats and mice that nest in insulation. We set traps along rafters and in wall voids, check them on a set schedule, and remove carcasses. Most attic jobs take two to three weeks. We also identify the entry points so we can seal them after trapping.

02Whole-home exclusion and proofing

We seal every entry point we find on your Polacca home, using copper mesh, steel wool, hardware cloth and exclusion sealant. Roof lines, foundation vents, utility penetrations and garage doors get the most attention. This is the step that keeps rodents from coming back.

03Kitchen and pantry mouse control

Mice in Polacca kitchens get into cabinets, pantries and appliances. We set snap traps and glue boards along walls and inside cabinets, then seal the entry points they used. We also identify food and water sources. Most kitchen mouse jobs are resolved in one to two weeks.

04Attic cleanup and decontamination

After removal, we bag all droppings, apply disinfectant and enzyme cleaner, and replace damaged insulation. This removes the odor and the health risk. In Polacca's hot attics, contamination spreads quickly, so cleanup is an important part of the job.

Written price before we start, with no surprise charges added later.
Exclusion warranty covers the sealing work we install on your home.

For businesses

Commercial Rodent Control in Polacca

Commercial rodent control in Polacca covers retail shops, offices, food service, storage facilities and property management. The stakes are higher than residential because a rodent sighting can cost you customers, trigger a health inspection failure or damage your reputation. We work with business owners and property managers to build a scheduled service plan that keeps rodents out year-round. That includes exterior bait stations, exclusion work and regular monitoring visits. If you need a one-time commercial rodent removal, we do that too.

Retail shops
Restaurants and food service
Offices
Storage facilities
Property management

01Scheduled service plans

We build a service schedule around your business hours, with monthly or quarterly monitoring visits. Each visit includes inspection, trap checks and exterior bait station service. You get a written report after every visit so you have documentation for health inspections and internal audits.

02Discreet, after-hours service

Commercial rodent control in Polacca can be scheduled before opening or after closing so customers never see a technician on site. We arrive in unmarked vehicles on request and work quietly. Your staff and your customers do not need to know we were there.

03Health inspection documentation

We provide written service reports, trap counts and exclusion records that you can show to health inspectors. This documentation is often the difference between passing and failing an inspection. We keep copies on file and can provide them on short notice.

04Exclusion work built into the plan

We do not just trap and leave. Every commercial plan includes exclusion work to seal entry points, because trapping alone will not keep rodents out of a Polacca business. We seal utility penetrations, loading dock gaps and exterior wall voids as part of the service.

Rodent Removal in Polacca

When rodents invade your Polacca home, fast and effective removal is essential. Our rodent removal service in Polacca targets the unique challenges of this desert community, from the adobe-style homes near the Hopi Cultural Center to the newer builds along Highway 264. We understand local rodent behavior and use proven methods to eliminate infestations quickly and humanely, restoring comfort and safety to your property.

Desert Rodent Species We Remove

Polacca's arid climate attracts pack rats, roof rats, and house mice. These pests seek shelter from extreme heat and cold, often entering homes through small cracks. Our team identifies the species and tailors removal strategies, ensuring effective elimination of rodents in Polacca and preventing future intrusions.

Safe Removal for Local Homes

Many Polacca residences feature traditional construction with crawl spaces and flat roofs. We use humane traps and exclusion techniques suited to these structures, avoiding harm to pets and children. Our methods address the specific entry points common in Polacca's older and newer homes alike.

Fast Response Across Polacca

Whether you're near the Polacca Wash or the village center, we respond quickly to rodent emergencies. Our local knowledge means we arrive prepared with the right tools. We remove rodents and offer sanitation advice to keep your home rodent-free in the harsh desert environment.

Rodent Exclusion in Polacca

Rodent exclusion in Polacca is the key to long-term protection against desert pests. Our service seals your home against pack rats, mice, and roof rats by identifying and closing every potential entry point. We understand Polacca's unique architecture, from historic stone homes to modern stucco builds, and customize exclusion solutions to keep rodents out for good.

Sealing Common Entry Points

Rodents can squeeze through gaps as small as a quarter. In Polacca, common entry points include roof vents, utility lines, and foundation cracks. We use durable materials like metal mesh and sealants to block these access routes, ensuring a rodent-proof barrier that withstands desert temperature swings.

Custom Exclusion for Local Homes

Polacca's mix of traditional and modern construction requires tailored exclusion strategies. We assess your home's specific vulnerabilities, such as open eaves or unsealed crawl spaces, and apply solutions that respect the building's integrity while maximizing protection against rodents.

Long-Term Prevention Strategies

Beyond sealing, we educate homeowners on reducing attractants like exposed food and water sources. Our exclusion service includes recommendations for landscape maintenance and storage practices that deter rodents in Polacca's unique environment, helping you maintain a pest-free home year-round.

Rodent Inspection in Polacca

A thorough rodent inspection in Polacca is the first step toward a pest-free home. Our certified inspectors examine your property for signs of rodents, including droppings, gnaw marks, and nesting sites. We understand the local terrain and building styles, from the Polacca Day School area to rural ranches, and provide detailed reports to guide effective treatment.

What Our Inspection Covers

We inspect attics, crawl spaces, basements, and exteriors for rodent activity. In Polacca, pack rats often nest in woodpiles and roof rats in upper crawl spaces. Our comprehensive check identifies species, entry points, and infestation severity, giving you a clear picture of the problem.

Signs of Rodent Infestation

Look for droppings, urine stains, gnawed wires, and greasy rub marks along walls. In Polacca's desert climate, rodents may also leave tracks in dusty areas. Our inspectors are trained to spot these subtle signs, even in low-light spaces, ensuring no infestation goes unnoticed.

Detailed Reports and Recommendations

After the inspection, we provide a written report with photos and a customized action plan. Whether you need removal, exclusion, or sanitation, our recommendations are tailored to Polacca's specific challenges, helping you make informed decisions for your home or business.

Rodent Proofing & Prevention in Polacca

Protect your Polacca property from future rodent invasions with our proofing and prevention service. We combine exclusion techniques with habitat modification to create an environment that's inhospitable to pests. From sealing cracks to advising on landscaping, we help homeowners and businesses in Polacca maintain a rodent-free space year-round, even during seasonal shifts.

Sealing and Reinforcement

We reinforce vulnerable areas like roof edges, vents, and utility penetrations with rodent-resistant materials. In Polacca, where adobe and stucco homes are common, we pay special attention to gaps that form as materials settle, ensuring a tight seal that keeps rodents out.

Habitat Modification

Rodents thrive when food, water, and shelter are available. We advise on removing attractants such as fallen fruit, pet food, and standing water. In Polacca's arid landscape, even small water sources can draw pests, so we help you eliminate these to reduce rodent activity.

Ongoing Prevention Plans

Our prevention plans include regular check-ups and maintenance to ensure your defenses remain intact. We monitor for new entry points and provide seasonal tips tailored to Polacca's climate, such as preparing for cooler months when rodents seek warmth indoors.

Rat Control in Polacca

Rats pose serious health risks and property damage in Polacca. Our rat control service targets both roof rats and pack rats with customized strategies that address the unique conditions of this desert community. From the historic Polacca village to surrounding rural areas, we eliminate rat infestations and prevent their return, safeguarding your home and family.

Identifying Rat Species

Polacca is home to roof rats and pack rats, each requiring different control methods. Roof rats are agile climbers, while pack rats collect debris for nests. Our technicians accurately identify the species, ensuring the right approach for effective rat control in Polacca.

Effective Rat Elimination

We use a combination of trapping, baiting, and exclusion to remove rats from your property. In Polacca's climate, rats often nest in attics and wall voids, so we target these areas with safe and humane methods, following all local regulations.

Preventing Future Infestations

After removal, we seal entry points and advise on sanitation to prevent re-infestation. Our team also provides tips on reducing food and water sources, helping Polacca residents maintain a rat-free environment long after treatment.

Roof Rat Removal in Polacca

Roof rats are a common nuisance in Polacca, often nesting in attics and upper crawl spaces. Our specialized roof rat removal service targets these agile pests with precision. We understand their behavior in the local environment, from the Polacca Wash to residential neighborhoods, and use proven techniques to eliminate them and prevent future intrusions.

Why Roof Rats Thrive Here

Polacca's warm climate and abundance of trees and vines provide ideal habitats for roof rats. They enter homes through roof vents, gaps in eaves, and overhanging branches. Our service addresses these specific entry points, ensuring effective roof rat removal in Polacca.

Safe Removal Techniques

We use humane traps and exclusion methods to remove roof rats without harming pets or children. Our technicians are trained to work in tight attic spaces, common in Polacca's older homes, and ensure complete removal of the infestation.

Preventing Roof Rat Returns

After removal, we seal entry points and trim vegetation away from the roofline. We also advise on proper storage and waste management to reduce attractants. Our prevention strategies are tailored to Polacca's unique environment, keeping roof rats at bay.

Pack Rat Removal in Polacca

Pack rats, also known as woodrats, are notorious in Polacca for their habit of collecting shiny objects and building large nests. Our pack rat removal service addresses these unique pests with targeted strategies. We understand their behavior in the desert environment and work to eliminate them from your home or business, preventing damage and health risks.

Understanding Pack Rat Behavior

Pack rats are attracted to cluttered areas and often nest in woodpiles, attics, and outbuildings. In Polacca, they may also inhabit rock crevices and cactus patches. Our team knows their habits and uses this knowledge to locate and remove them effectively.

Removal and Nest Elimination

We remove pack rats using humane traps and dispose of their nests, which can harbor parasites. Our service includes cleaning and sanitizing affected areas to eliminate odors and reduce health hazards, ensuring a safe environment for Polacca residents.

Preventing Pack Rat Infestations

To prevent future problems, we seal entry points and recommend removing clutter and debris. We also advise on landscaping and storage practices that deter pack rats. Our prevention tips are tailored to Polacca's desert setting, helping you maintain a pack rat-free property.

Mouse Control in Polacca

Mice may be small, but they can cause big problems in Polacca homes. Our mouse control service effectively eliminates infestations and prevents future invasions. We understand the local environment, from the Polacca Airport area to residential streets, and use safe, targeted methods to remove mice and secure your property against these persistent pests.

Signs of Mouse Infestation

Droppings, gnaw marks, and scratching noises at night are common signs. In Polacca, mice often enter through small gaps around utility lines and foundations. Our inspectors identify these entry points and assess the extent of the infestation to plan effective control.

Effective Mouse Removal

We use a combination of traps and bait stations placed strategically in areas of high activity. Our methods are safe for pets and children, and we follow all local regulations. We ensure complete removal of mice from your Polacca home, addressing both visible and hidden populations.

Preventing Future Mice

After removal, we seal entry points and provide sanitation services to eliminate droppings and urine. We also offer advice on food storage and waste disposal to reduce attractants. Our prevention strategies are designed for Polacca's unique climate and building styles.

Rodent Trapping in Polacca

When rodents invade, trapping is often the most effective removal method. Our rodent trapping service in Polacca uses humane and efficient techniques to capture and remove pests. We understand the local rodent species and their habits, ensuring a targeted approach that clears your home quickly and safely, with minimal disruption to your daily life.

Humane Trapping Methods

We use live traps and snap traps strategically placed in areas of rodent activity. In Polacca, where pack rats and mice are common, our technicians choose the right trap for the species, ensuring humane treatment and effective capture without harming non-target animals.

Strategic Trap Placement

Proper placement is key to successful trapping. We identify runways, nesting sites, and entry points, then position traps accordingly. Our knowledge of Polacca's building layouts, from adobe homes to modern structures, allows us to place traps where rodents travel most.

Follow-Up and Monitoring

After initial trapping, we monitor activity and adjust our strategy as needed. We also seal entry points to prevent new rodents from entering. Our follow-up service ensures that your Polacca property remains rodent-free, with ongoing support if needed.

Attic Rodent Cleanup & Decontamination in Polacca

How We Execute Rodent Control in Polacca

Rodent Control in Polacca runs on a simple sequence: inspect, trap, exclude, clean, verify. We start with a full inspection of the attic, crawlspace, garage, kitchen and exterior perimeter. Then we set trap lines where r

Desert pack rat dens near homes and outbuildings

Pack rats gather cholla, mesquite and debris into dens that can sit within a few feet of a Polacca home. They chew wiring, contaminate storage areas and move indoors when the weather turns. Standard interior trapping alone will not solve it because the source is outside.

How we handle it We locate and remove the den, clear the nesting material, treat the ground with disinfectant and remove the attractants. Then we seal the structure and set exterior bait stations where appropriate. This two-sided approach is what stops pack rats from returning to the same Polacca property.

Roof rats using roof tile gaps and utility lines

Roof rats in Polacca climb power lines, trees and stucco walls, then enter through gaps under roof tiles and at eave vents. Once inside they nest in attic insulation and leave droppings across the space. This is the most common rodent call we get from Polacca homeowners.

How we handle it We trap inside the attic and along the roof line, then seal the entry points with copper mesh and exclusion sealant. We also trim tree limbs within three feet of the roof. Most roof rat jobs in Polacca take two to three weeks of active trapping before we seal.

Older homes with unsealed utility and plumbing penetrations

Many Polacca homes have plumbing, electrical and AC line penetrations that were never sealed. These openings give mice and rats a direct path from the exterior into wall voids and interior spaces. In older construction, there can be a dozen or more of these openings.

How we handle it We map every penetration during the inspection, then seal each one with copper mesh, steel wool and exclusion sealant. We use a borescope camera to check wall voids we cannot see directly. Sealing these openings is often the single highest-value step in a Polacca rodent job.

Recent Rodent Control Results in Polacca

These are real job patterns from Polacca and the surrounding area. Every property is different, but the sequence is the same: inspect, trap, exclude, clean, verify. Here is what that looks like in practice.

01 Polacca Village Center

The problem: A Polacca homeowner heard scratching in the attic at night and found droppings on top of the insulation. Roof rats had entered through gaps under the roof tiles.
What we did: We inspected the attic and roof line, set snap traps and glue boards along the rafters, and sealed the roof tile gaps with copper mesh and exclusion sealant. We also trimmed tree limbs within three feet of the roof.
The result: Activity stopped within 12 days. Follow-up inspection confirmed no new droppings and no new entry points. The homeowner renewed the exclusion warranty.

02 First Mesa Area

The problem: A property near First Mesa had pack rats nesting under a shed and in a woodpile. The rats had chewed wiring in a stored vehicle and left droppings across the storage area.
What we did: We removed the den and nesting material, trapped the remaining rats with live catch traps and snap traps, treated the ground with disinfectant, and sealed the shed with hardware cloth and exclusion sealant. We also removed the woodpile and cleared debris.
The result: No pack rat activity after 14 days. The vehicle wiring was repaired separately, and the storage area was decontaminated and returned to use.

03 Highway 264 Corridor

The problem: A small business along Highway 264 had mice in a storage room and droppings behind shelving. The building had multiple unsealed utility penetrations.
What we did: We set snap traps and glue boards along the walls and behind shelving, then sealed every utility penetration with copper mesh, steel wool and exclusion sealant. We also installed exterior bait stations at the building perimeter.
The result: Mouse activity stopped within 10 days. The business passed its next internal inspection with no rodent evidence, and we now service the property on a quarterly schedule.

Polacca problem patterns

Common Rodent Problems in Polacca

Polacca's climate and housing mix create specific rodent problems. Hot summers push rodents toward shade and water. Cold winters push them indoors. Older homes have unsealed penetrations. Open desert surrounds most properties. These factors combine to make rodent control a year-round need here, not a seasonal one.

Roof rats entering through roof tile gaps

Why it happens Roof rats are excellent climbers and use power lines, trees and stucco walls to reach the roof. In Polacca, gaps under roof tiles and at eave vents are common entry points. Once inside, they nest in attic insulation and leave droppings across the space.

Our approach We trap inside the attic and along the roof line, then seal the entry points with copper mesh and exclusion sealant. We also trim tree limbs within three feet of the roof. Most roof rat jobs take two to three weeks of active trapping before we seal.

Pack rats nesting in yards and outbuildings

Why it happens Pack rats gather cholla, mesquite and debris into dens near homes, sheds and woodpiles. Polacca's open desert and rural lots give them plenty of material and cover. They chew wiring, contaminate storage areas and move indoors when the weather turns.

Our approach We remove the den and nesting material, trap the remaining rats, treat the ground with disinfectant and remove the attractants. Then we seal the structure and set exterior bait stations where appropriate. This two-sided approach stops them from returning.

Mice in kitchens and pantries

Why it happens Mice enter Polacca homes through openings the size of a pencil, often following plumbing and electrical penetrations. Once inside, they contaminate food, leave droppings in cabinets and breed quickly. A small mouse problem can become a large one in a few weeks.

Our approach We set snap traps and glue boards along walls and inside cabinets, then seal every entry point we find. We also identify and remove food and water sources. Most mouse jobs in Polacca are resolved in one to two weeks with two or three visits.

Attic contamination and insulation damage

Why it happens Rodents urinate and defecate where they nest, which is usually in attic insulation. Over time, the contamination soaks into the material and creates odor and health risks. In Polacca's hot attics, the smell spreads into the living space below.

Our approach We bag all droppings, apply disinfectant and enzyme cleaner, and replace damaged insulation where needed. We also seal the entry points so the problem does not return. This is the step most homeowners skip, and it is the one that removes the odor.

Rodent Control Pricing in Polacca

Typical 2026 pricing for rodent control in Polacca runs $180 to $450 for an initial inspection and trap setup, with follow-up visits included in most packages. Full exclusion work usually adds $300 to $900 depending on the size of the building and the number of entry points. Attic cleanup and decontamination is priced separately, typically $500 to $1,500 based on square footage and contamination level. What increases the price: multiple species, large attics, heavy contamination, and hard-to-reach entry points. What keeps it down: early detection, a single species, and a building that is already partially sealed. We give you a written price before we start, and we do not add charges without telling you first.

We run scheduled routes through Polacca most weeks, and same-day or next-day appointments are common for urgent calls. Emergency response is available 24/7 for active rodent problems, including scratching noises at night and rodent activity in kitchens or food storage areas. We work around your schedule, including early morning and evening appointments for commercial customers.

Number of entry points

Polacca through the year

Seasonal Rodent Control in Polacca

Polacca's high-desert climate drives rodent behavior in predictable ways. Summer heat sends them looking for shade and water. Winter cold sends them indoors. Spring and fall are transition periods when activity shifts. Knowing what to expect each season helps you stay ahead of the problem.

❊

Spring

Spring in Polacca brings warmer temperatures and new rodent activity. Pack rats start rebuilding dens, and roof rats begin exploring new entry points. This is when exterior trapping and exclusion work pays off most, because you are stopping rodents before they settle in.

Tip Walk your property in spring and clear woodpiles, debris and dense vegetation near the foundation. Seal any openings you find, or call us for an inspection.

☀

Summer

Summer heat pushes rodents toward shade and water sources. In Polacca, that means garages, crawlspaces, AC line penetrations and shaded exterior walls. Activity often shifts from the attic to lower levels. Mice and rats both look for cooler spots during the hottest weeks.

Tip Check your garage and crawlspace for droppings and gnaw marks. Keep water sources controlled and seal AC line penetrations with copper mesh or exclusion sealant.

❄

Fall

Fall is when rodents start moving indoors for the winter. In Polacca, roof rats and mice both look for warm, sheltered spaces. This is the most important season for exclusion work, because sealing entry points now prevents a winter infestation.

Tip Schedule an inspection in early fall. Seal roof lines, foundation vents and utility penetrations before the first cold snap. This is the single best time of year to rodent-proof a Polacca home.

❅

Winter

Winter cold drives rodents inside, and Polacca homes become prime targets. Attics, wall voids and garages see the most activity. Scratching noises at night are common. If you did not seal your home in fall, winter is when you will notice the problem.

Tip If you hear scratching at night, call for an inspection right away. Winter infestations grow quickly because rodents stay inside. Trapping and exclusion can still solve it, but earlier is easier.

Most rodent control jobs in Polacca run $180 to $450 for inspection and trap setup, with exclusion work adding $300 to $900 depending on the building. Attic cleanup is priced separately, usually $500 to $1,500. We give you a written price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Most rodent removal jobs in Polacca take two to four visits over one to three weeks. Mouse jobs are usually faster, often one to two weeks. Roof rat and pack rat jobs take longer because the animals are more cautious and often have exterior sources. We do not close a job until activity has stopped.

Polacca sees three main types: roof rats, pack rats and house mice. Roof rats nest in attics and enter through roof tile gaps. Pack rats build dens in yards, sheds and woodpiles. Mice get into kitchens, pantries and garages through small openings. Each species needs a different approach.

Yes. We bag all droppings, apply disinfectant and enzyme cleaner, and replace damaged insulation where needed. This removes the odor and the health risk. Attic cleanup is priced separately from trapping and exclusion, and we tell you the cost before we start.
