5 Questions to Ask When Hiring a Rodent Control Company

When you spot gnaw marks, tiny tracks, or midnight squeaks, you want help, fast! But not all rodent pros are the same. To protect your home (and your sanity), here are the five must-ask questions before you hire a rodent control company. At Wagner Pest Solutions, we’re happy to answer any questions you may have about our rodent control.

1. Do You Specialize in Arizona Rodents?

Roof rats and pack rats thrive in the Valley’s warm climate and love our block walls, citrus trees, and attics. Ask how the company handles these specific species, including entry points unique to Glendale homes. A local expert should know seasonal activity patterns, preferred nesting sites, and effective, compliant control methods.

2. What’s Your Inspection & Exclusion Plan?

Trapping without sealing access is a short-term fix. Request a detailed inspection that covers rooflines, vents, garages, and utility penetrations. Then ask for a written exclusion plan—think sealing gaps, screening vents, trimming vegetation, and removing conducive conditions. You want prevention, not repeat visits.

3. Which Treatments Do You Use & Are They Family & Pet Safe?

From snap traps to bait stations and smart monitoring, solutions should be tailored to your home. Clarify how they minimize risk to kids and pets, where devices will be placed, and how often they’re checked. A trustworthy provider explains the why behind every product and placement.

4. What Does Your Service Warranty Include?

Rodents are crafty. Confirm what the warranty covers, how long it lasts, and what follow-up looks like if activity returns. Transparent terms (with clear timelines and responsibilities) signal a company that stands behind its work.

5. Will You Educate Me on Sanitation & Long-Term Prevention?

Rodent control is a team effort. Ask if they’ll provide a simple checklist for sanitation, including securing pet food, managing trash, storing birdseed, and pruning trees away from the roofline. The right provider provides practical steps to keep rodents out for good.
