Stop Rodents Before They Take Over
Rodent infestations are rarely isolated incidents. Left unaddressed, they become cycles—nesting, reproducing, expanding. The only way to prevent recurrence is to remove access, eliminate attractants, and fortify structural integrity. That is the standard approach at Rodent Control Inc. We begin with full interior and exterior inspections, including attic and crawlspace evaluations. We document each finding and explain the necessary actions—both immediate and preventive. From La Mirada to Malibu, we maintain clear service documentation and maintain direct lines of contact with every client.

Precision Strategies, Adapted to Local Conditions
Rodent control cannot follow a generalized process. Rodent behaviors vary across neighborhoods – from the foothills of Altadena to the dense housing of East LA – and each home presents a unique set of vulnerabilities. At Rodent Control Inc., we perform detailed inspections, tracing the source of entry points and identifying patterns of movement that most providers overlook. We don’t rely on bait and hope for the best. We solve the issue at the structural level – inspecting ventilation gaps, crawlspace breaches, foundation voids, and compromised insulation. Our field technicians are trained not only in exclusion techniques but in construction principles that help ensure lasting control.
- Hollywood & Mid-City: Frequent issues with aging foundations, crawlspace infestations, and roof rat activity in older homes and duplexes.
- San Fernando Valley (Encino, Sherman Oaks): High activity zones for Norway rats in garages, attics, and palm trees; expert exclusion and attic cleanup essential.
- Downtown LA & Koreatown: Common rodent entry through shared walls, vents, and rooftop AC systems in multi-unit properties and older apartment buildings.
- Summer Heat Activity: Rodents seek indoor shelter in extreme heat, especially in shaded garages, storage spaces, and A/C closets.
- Seasonal Infestation Spikes: Rain and cooler nights in fall/winter drive rats and mice indoors, particularly in areas with poor sealing or open crawlspaces.
- Drought-Driven Nesting: Water scarcity increases nesting inside homes where water sources like sinks, pet bowls, and HVAC condensation lines are accessible.
- Los Angeles Building Codes: Compliance with LA County standards for rodent-proofing, structural sealing, and sanitation requirements.
- City Health Ordinances: Adherence to municipal regulations for rodent control in food service, rental, and multi-family properties.
- HOA & Property Rules: Familiarity with homeowner association policies and landlord-tenant rodent abatement responsibilities in LA neighborhoods.

How can I tell if I have rats or mice in my home?
Rats and mice leave signs like droppings, bite marks, smudges on walls, and little tracks. Rats are bigger and usually don’t go for mouse traps. Our team checks where they’ve been and what kind they are before we make a plan to get rid of them.
Should I call a professional, or can I handle it myself?
Trying to get rid of rats by yourself can be dangerous. Rats can bite, carry germs, and are hard to catch. Professionals know the best way to trap them, clean up safely, and keep them from coming back.
How much does a serious rat cleanup cost in Los Angeles?
It depends on how bad the problem is. The price usually covers cleanup, sealing holes, and making sure the rats don’t return. Going with the cheapest option isn’t always safe if there’s a lot of damage or health risks.
Do poisons and glue traps work well in LA?
Can I prevent rodent re-infestation in my neighborhood or yard?
Yes! You can keep rodents away by closing up holes, locking up trash, cleaning up food outside, trimming bushes, and talking to neighbors about keeping the area clean too.
What are my legal rights as a tenant or landlord?
How soon can I expect results after treatment?
What are the risks if rodents remain in my attic or walls?
