The Woodlands Rodent Control
Get Rid of Mice & Rats Today!
There are few things more unsettling than finding evidence of a rodent infestation in your home or commercial property. Mice and rats can carry a wide range of diseases, and their feces and urine can contaminate your food and water. In addition to being unsightly, rodents can cause serious damage to your home by chewing through insulation, electrical wiring, and wood. They can also gnaw through pipes, which may lead to a plumbing leak or water damage. If you discover any signs of a rodent infestation, such as droppings or chewed-through food packages, it is crucial to contact a professional rodent control company right away to prevent the problem from getting worse.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation
When mice or rats get into your home, they can be very sneaky and hard to find. However, there are a few telltale signs that you may have a rodent problem. By knowing what to look for, you can catch a rodent infestation early and prevent it from spreading.
Here are some common signs of a rodent infestation:
- Droppings: Mice and rats leave behind small, pellet-like droppings that are usually black or dark brown.
- Gnaw marks: Rodents have incisors that never stop growing, so they constantly chew on things to keep them filed down. Look for gnaw marks on food packages, walls, baseboards, and furniture.
- Grease marks: Rodents have oily fur, so they often leave behind greasy smudges on walls, floors, and baseboards.
- Nests: Mice and rats build nests out of shredded paper, fabric, and other materials. Look for nests in your attic, basement, and other secluded areas of your home.
- Noises: Rodents are most active at night, so you may hear scratching or scurrying sounds coming from your walls, attic, or basement.
- Footprints: Dusty footprints can be a sign that mice or rats are running across your floors or countertops.
- Chewed-through food packages: Mice and rats will chew through almost anything to get to food. If you notice any chewed-through food packages in your pantry, it is a sign that you have a rodent problem.
Keep in mind that rodents can be very sneaky, so you may not always see them. However, if you notice any of the signs listed above, it is important to take action right away to prevent the infestation from spreading. Even if you only see one mouse or rat, there are likely many others hiding in your home. Female mice can have up to 10 litters per year, with each litter producing 5 to 10 babies. This means that a small rodent problem can quickly turn into a full-blown infestation if left untreated.
How to Prevent a Rodent Infestation
At Preventive Pest Control, we believe that the best way to deal with a rodent problem is to prevent it from happening in the first place. By taking a few simple steps to rodent-proof your home, you can greatly reduce the risk of an infestation.
Here are some rodent prevention tips from our experts:
- Seal cracks and holes: Mice can squeeze through a hole the size of a dime, while rats can squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter. Seal any cracks or holes in your foundation, walls, and roof to prevent rodents from getting inside.
- Store food in airtight containers: Mice and rats can chew through cardboard and plastic, so it is important to store your food in airtight containers made of glass or metal. This will help prevent rodents from contaminating your food and water.
- Keep your kitchen clean: Rodents are attracted to food and water, so it is important to keep your kitchen clean and free of crumbs. Sweep and mop your floors regularly, and wipe down your countertops and appliances to remove any food residue.
- Take out the trash: Mice and rats are scavengers, so they are attracted to trash. Take out your trash regularly, and store it in a sealed container to prevent rodents from getting inside.
- Trim trees and shrubs: Rodents can use tree branches and shrubs as bridges to get onto your roof. Trim any branches that are hanging over your roof, and keep shrubs at least 3 feet away from your home.
- Keep your home clean and clutter-free: Mice and rats are very good at hiding, so it is important to keep your home clean and clutter-free to reduce their hiding spots. Vacuum your floors and furniture regularly, and store your belongings in sealed plastic containers.
- Fix plumbing leaks: Mice and rats need water to survive, so they are attracted to plumbing leaks. Fix any leaks in your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room right away to prevent rodents from coming into your home in search of water.
- Store firewood away from your home: Mice and rats often make their nests in piles of firewood. If you have a wood-burning fireplace, store your firewood at least 20 feet away from your home to prevent rodents from getting inside.
Keep in mind that even if you take all of the steps listed above, there is still a chance that mice or rats could get into your home. If you notice any signs of a rodent infestation, it is important to contact a professional rodent control company right away. The sooner you catch a rodent infestation, the easier it will be to eliminate it.

"Rachael W. -
"We have been faithful customer's for many years in 2 different homes in The Woodlands. The guys were always professional and left service cards at the door. When we moved to the last home in 2014, we had a major cutter ant issue!! They appeared out of nowhere and were destroying everything in sight! I called the office in a panic and the gal got someone out the very next day. He not only took care of all the beds, he followed the ant trail all the way to the back of the preserve and knocked those suckers out! We now live in Denver, Colorado. I was so pleased to find a locally owned Preventative Pest control - they are awesome too. When we move back to TW, I'll just pick right back up with you guys!"
