At Elite Pest Management, we’ve been helping Southern California homeowners tackle rodent problems since 2007, and we’re here to make your space safe and stress-free again. Rats and mice might be small, but they can cause big headaches—from chewed wires to health risks. Let’s dive into how we can help you kick these critters out and keep them from coming back!

Our Approach to Rodent Control

Rodents like rats and mice are masters at finding their way into our homes, especially here in Southern California where they’ve adapted to live alongside us. They nest in cozy spots like attics, wall voids, or under furniture, often leaving behind droppings or bits of food as evidence. At Elite Pest Management, we get it—dealing with these sneaky pests can feel overwhelming. That’s why we offer a personalized approach, combining expert extermination with practical proofing to protect your home.

With over 40 years of combined experience, our team knows rodents inside and out. We use safe, effective methods to remove existing infestations and seal up entry points, whether it’s a rat gnawing through insulation or a mouse sneaking into your pantry. Recently acquired by Certus Pest, we’ve brought even more resources to the table, but our Riverside roots and commitment to you remain rock-solid. Ready to say goodbye to rodents? Let’s get started!

Rats: The Big Threat

Picture this: a large Norway rat rummaging through your unsecured trash or building a nest of insulation and debris in your attic. Rats aren’t just a nuisance—they’re a serious hazard. Did you know that an estimated 20% of undetermined house fires are linked to rats chewing on electrical wires? Their teeth never stop growing, so they gnaw on anything they can find, including wiring that can spark and ignite. On top of that, they carry fleas, ticks, parasites, and diseases that can put your family and pets at risk.

We’re here to handle it all. Our rodent proofing services seal cracks and holes, while our interior and exterior extermination takes care of existing rats. Don’t wait—call us for a consultation to keep your home safe from these fire-starting intruders.

Tips to Keep Rats Out:

• Use lidded trash bins and keep them tightly closed.
• Store pet food in sealed containers and feed pets indoors.
• Screen garage vents, doors, and windows properly.
• Install weather stripping around doors and garage entries.
• Seal gaps around wires, pipes, and other entry points.
• Keep your yard mowed and flower beds clear of nesting spots.

Mice: The Sneaky Invaders

Mice might be smaller than rats, but they’re just as crafty, thriving in our homes across Southern California. These nocturnal nibblers love nesting near food and water, hiding in wall voids, under furniture, or behind storage. You might not see them during the day, but their droppings or scattered crumbs are a dead giveaway. Like rats, they carry toxic vectors—fleas, parasites, germs, and viruses—that can harm your loved ones.

Our team at Elite Pest Management specializes in mouse removal and prevention. We’ll track down their hiding spots and seal them off, ensuring they don’t come back to nest. Reach out today for a tailored plan to reclaim your space.

Tips to Stop Mice:

• Keep trash bins lidded and secure.
• Seal pet food and consider indoor feeding for pets.
• Screen vents, doors, and windows effectively.
• Add weather stripping to doors and garage entries.
• Close off holes around wires, pipes, and cracks.
• Maintain a tidy yard with mowed grass and cleared flower beds.
