Why start with a look.
Treating a rodent problem without an inspection is guessing. The same noise in a ceiling can be a mouse, a rat, a squirrel or a pipe, and each calls for a different response. Paying for the wrong treatment costs more than a proper first visit.
The inspection is the step that turns a symptom into a diagnosis. It ends with a named animal, a list of entry points and a plan you can accept or decline.
What gets checked, in order.
- The attic or roof void, including insulation, ducts and the area around vents.
- Garage walls, door corners and anything stored against them.
- Kitchen, laundry and utility spaces where pipes and wires enter walls.
- The roofline, eaves, soffits and any trees, fronds or wires that touch the house.
- The yard, including sheds, woodpiles, pet food and drip irrigation lines.
The technician looks for droppings, rub marks, gnawing, nesting material and tracks. Each tells a different part of the story. Fresh droppings are dark and soft, while old ones are gray and crumbly, which helps date the activity.
What to have ready.
Clear a path to the attic hatch and the garage walls if you can. Know where the electrical panel is, and tell the technician about any recent roof work, new pets or construction. If you have photos or videos of the animal, have them on your phone.
Pets should be in another room during the walk-through. If any animal in the home is a dog that is protective of the yard, mention it so the technician is prepared.

The map of Apache Junction in the plan.
Apache Junction sits against the Superstition Mountains, and some lots sit close to open land. Part of the inspection is asking how close yours is. A property that backs onto desert may see animals arrive from there, while one in a denser block may see them travel along fences and wires.
None of that is assumed. It becomes part of the plan only if the signs on the property support it.
Give us your street and what you noticed, and we will work out the earliest visit that fits.
Call (888) 686-4821How the estimate works.
Prices are given after the inspection, when the scope is clear. The estimate separates trapping, sealing, cleanup and repair, so you can see what each costs and choose which to do. If a step is optional, it is labeled that way.
You are not obligated to book work on the spot. If you want to think about it or compare, that is fine. The inspection findings stay useful either way.
What to do, and not do, while you wait
Nothing here is specific to our service. It is general cleanup safety, summarized from CDC guidance.
- Treat dry droppings as something to dampen first, not something to brush up.
- Give the room time to ventilate. Thirty minutes with the doors open is the common recommendation.
- Wear rubber or plastic gloves for the whole job, and scrub your hands with soap and water at the end.
- Dampen droppings and urine stains with disinfectant or diluted bleach, leave it for about five minutes, then wipe with paper towels.
- Dispose of wipes and droppings in a sealed plastic bag, and keep skin off dead animals.
- Doctors, not pest companies, judge health risk. See one if fever, aches or shortness of breath follow a cleanup.

Inspection questions
How long does an inspection take?
It depends on the size of the property and how much is accessible. The technician will give a rough estimate when the visit is booked.
Do I need to be home?
Someone should be there for access to the attic, garage and any locked areas. If you cannot be, say so on the call and we discuss options.
What if you find nothing?
You are told that plainly, along with what to watch for. Not every noise is a rodent, and we say when it is not.
Is the price fixed at the inspection?
The plan and price are explained once the scope is clear. If the scope changes during work, you hear about it before more is done.
Can I get an inspection at night?
Call the 24/7 line and ask what is open. Same-day visits are offered where the schedule allows.
