Mice and rats are among the most destructive and invasive pests in Michigan. Once they find a way into your home or business, they can contaminate food, chew through electrical wiring, damage insulation, and spread bacteria across living areas. Rodents reproduce rapidly — a single pair can lead to dozens of rodents in just a few months — which is why fast, professional action is critical. Raptor Pest Control specializes in eliminating rodent infestations at the source, not just treating the surface symptoms. Our approach focuses on identifying how rodents are entering, where they are nesting, and what resources inside your property are enabling them to survive.
Michigan homeowners often first notice small, pellet-sized droppings near cabinets, appliances, storage rooms, or attic spaces. Mice are small, light brown or gray, while rats are larger with thicker bodies and longer, scaly tails. Rodents leave behind gnaw marks on wood, wiring, and food packaging. You may also notice greasy rub marks along baseboards or small dark “run trails” where rodents are repeatedly traveling. Hearing scratching or light scampering inside walls or ceilings at night is a major indicator of active rodent presence. Raptor Pest Control inspects the entire structure — inside and out — to identify the species and the true entry points.
Raptor Pest Control uses a multi-step rodent removal process designed to eliminate the colony — not just kill a few mice. After a detailed inspection, we locate nesting areas, apply targeted trapping and baiting strategies, and remove food and moisture sources that attract rodents. The most important step is exclusion — sealing every viable entry point rodents use to get inside. We fortify exterior siding gaps, foundation cracks, roofline openings, utility penetrations, and crawlspace access points using rodent-proof materials. Once the structure is sealed and the infestation is eliminated, we can clean and sanitize contaminated areas, replace damaged insulation, and implement an ongoing prevention plan. With proper exclusion and professional maintenance, your property stays rodent-free year-round.
