Rodent Control in Boyce, VA
Mice and rats don't quit on their own. Once they find a way in, they come back — and they bring others. Gaps in foundations, worn door sweeps, openings around pipes and utility lines: rodents don't need much, and older construction gives them plenty to work with. Traps from the hardware store might knock the numbers down for a while, but without sealing entry points and addressing what's drawing them in, it turns into a recurring problem season after season.
Our rodent exterminators in Boyce take a different approach. Petti Pest Control starts with a thorough inspection of your home and outbuildings to figure out where rodents are getting in, where they're nesting, and what's keeping them around. From there, Petti puts a real plan in place — one that accounts for your property, not just the problem in front of you. Seasonal follow-through keeps pressure on rodent activity before it has a chance to build back up, so you're not back to square one every fall.
Here's what's included with rodent control in Boyce:

- Rodent entry point identification

When the Problem Has Gone On Long Enough
Rodent control in Boyce means more than setting a few traps and hoping for the best. Mice and rats get into crawlspaces, barns, outbuildings, and wall cavities — and once they're settled in, they don't leave on their own. Petti Pest Control inspects the full property, seals the entry points, and handles the treatment so the problem actually gets resolved.
Here's how Petti handles it from start to finish:
- A thorough inspection of the home, shop, crawlspace, and any outbuildings to find where rodents are getting in and what's drawing them there
- A treatment plan built around your property — not a generic package
- Entry point repairs and exclusion work to cut off access
- Contract-free options available, with free re-treatments backed by a satisfaction guarantee

How to Tell If Rodents Have Moved Into Your Property
Most people don't catch a rodent problem early. By the time you spot one in the barn, the crawlspace, or the shop, there's a good chance they've already settled in. Mice and rats are good at staying out of sight, but they always leave a trail.
Common signs of a rodent infestation West Virginia homeowners shouldn't ignore:
- Droppings along walls, in cabinets, near food storage, or in outbuildings
- Gnaw marks on wood framing, wiring, insulation, or stored bags of feed or grain
- Greasy rub marks along baseboards and entry points where rodents travel repeatedly
- Shredded nesting material in garages, crawlspaces, wall voids, or cluttered corners
- Scratching or scurrying sounds inside walls or ceilings, especially at night
- Tracks or burrow holes near the foundation, woodpile, or around outbuildings
- A stale, musky odor in enclosed spaces that wasn't there before
If you're seeing any of these signs, the problem is likely bigger than what's visible. Petti Pest Control knows how rodents move through properties like yours, and the team at Petti won't guess at what's going on — they'll find it.

What does your rodent control service include?

What types of rodents do you treat?
We treat mice, rats, and other common rodents that invade homes in Virginia and West Virginia.
What time of year is worst for rodents in the Valley?
