Rodent Control

Between the cool, misty weather and the vibrant autumn leaves, Virginia is truly one of the most beautiful places in the fall. The only thing taking away from that beauty is pests like rodents, which start seeking shelter in homes like yours as they prepare for the upcoming winter. If you think rodents are invading your home, call Mosquito Squad Plus right away for rodent control in Charlottesville, VA.

We know traps alone aren’t enough to stop rodents, so our work doesn’t end there. We also include full inspections, exclusion methods to seal entry points, and targeted treatments that help control infestations. All in all, it’s a service you can trust to help protect your home from rodents and the diseases they can carry.

How Our Rodent Control Service Works

We want every rodent control service to be as thorough as possible, which is why we always begin by walking your property inside and out to check for entry points. If we find any during our inspection, we’ll address them to help prevent future infestations. The most common entry points we find are gaps around utility lines, vents, doors, and foundations, as well as overhanging branches.

We’ll use our core barrier treatment (made with EPA-registered products) to treat your perimeter and create a barrier that helps protect your home. This helps reduce the existing population by up to 85-90%. However, if you experience persistent problems, we’ll return regularly to monitor and help prevent new rodent activity.

Common Rodents in the Charlottesville Area

Here in Charlottesville, VA, the most common rodents are house mice, deer mice, Norway rats, and roof rats. While most of these rodents can fit through a hole or gap as small as a quarter, smaller house mice can squeeze through even a dime-sized space. If you have rodents, you might notice signs around your house like:

Rodent droppings (usually dark and pellet-shaped)
Gnaw marks on wood or wiring
Nesting material in hidden corners, garages, attics, or basements
Scratching in the walls or ceilings (especially at night)

Rodents pose many risks to us. Some pertain to the structural integrity of our houses, as chewing on wood or wiring can cause various issues. However, since rodents can carry diseases like hantavirus, they can also make us sick if they’re crawling on countertops or rooting around in pantries and cupboards.

If you suspect that you have rodents in your home, call us right away for rodent control in Charlottesville, VA.

Rodent Prevention Tips for Your Home

For the most thorough rodent control approach, we always recommend calling a professional pest control team. But still, there are certainly ways you can support our efforts between visits. A few tips we recommend implementing around your home and yard include:

Sealing cracks or gaps you find around the foundation or where utility lines and pipes enter the home
Storing food (pet food, too) in airtight containers
Securing garbage cans and cleaning them regularly
Clearing debris, woodpiles, and clutter from your yard
Trimming vegetation and branches touching the house, which could serve as shelter or bridges into your home

Tyler Biscoe

"They did an outstanding job. Prompt, effective, and affordable."

Jennifer Oliver

"Mosquito Squad of CVille does an amazing job at keeping our yard free of mosquitos. We have used them for the last few years and we are able to enjoy being outside. We highly recommend them."

Tad Oelstrom

"Over the many years of using Mosquito Squad of Charlottesville, I have enjoyed full use of the heavily wooded yard and garden area with never a worry about mosquitos and ticks -- how comforting this has been. The reliability of the pre-notification and post application is a much appreciated service that only enhances the service."

Martha Davis

"Eight years ago I could not sit in my back yard due to mosquitos. I have used them since then. They are reliable, communicate well, reschedule to suit me and use a good product. I recommend them highly."

Benita Brake

"I used their services for a tick infestation in my front yard. They were very quick to reply to my first communication, and very open with pricing. They alerted me the day before the first service so we could have our yard ready for them, and animals inside. We personally made sure the yard was mowed so that the treatment could get down to the dirt easier, but I'm not sure that is a requirement. We just wanted the ticks gone from our yard. When they came back 21 days later their services was just as amazing and right on time. We haven't see any ticks since their first treatment!"

Paula Knight

"Great company very responsive and mosquitos"

Godfrey Property Management

"Before Mosquito squad there were lots of mosquito bites. After Mosquito squad, no mosquito bites."

Jeannine Orejudos

"We can finally enjoy our backyard now and not have to deal with a ton of mosquitoes."

Buck Klintworth

"We have used Mosquito Squad of Charlottesville for 4 years. At our previous house, we were attacked by mosquitos during the summer. When we moved and saw all the greenery around our new house, I knew that we had to do something, since we wanted to spend time outdoors. I can count on two hands the number of mosquitos we have seen since we started using them."

Elizabeth Marcus

"Ive been using Mosquito Squad for several years now. I couldn't use my back yard if they didn't spray. I have 3 stagnant ponds (not mine or I would get that water moving) behind my property and the mosquitoes are AWFUL!! With MS I can actually enjoy my pool and back yard! I have 6 dogs and they're also great about notifying me so I can be sure theyre in during the service and until the spray dries!"
