Scratching in the attic at night is almost always roof rats working the roofline, while ground-level droppings near the pantry usually mean house mice — our technicians identify the species before setting a single trap.
We trace gnaw marks, grease trails, and droppings back to the actual entry gap before quoting trapping and exclusion work.


Our Rodent Control crew is trained specifically on rat and mouse biology, not general pest spraying.
We keep same-day slots open for active infestations, especially attic and wall-void activity reported at night.
You get one flat quote covering trapping, gap sealing, and a scheduled follow-up — sealing costs are never a surprise add-on.
We use snap traps, tamper-resistant bait stations, hardware cloth, and steel wool for permanent gap sealing.
Roof rats travel roofline, eaves, and attic spaces, so trapping is placed along their actual travel paths, not just on the attic floor.
We inspect crawl spaces and foundation perimeters specifically for Norway rat burrow entrances.
Snap traps go along interior travel routes — usually baseboards and cabinet edges — where mouse activity is heaviest.
Trapping without sealing just invites the next rodent in — we close every identified gap with steel wool, hardware cloth, and sealant.
Minooka warehouses and retail stores get scheduled bait station monitoring with service logs ready for any audit.
After removal, we can address contaminated insulation and droppings left behind in the attic.

Call +1-866-315-0243 and describe what you're hearing — attic scratching versus pantry droppings changes our dispatch priority.
A technician arrives with snap traps, bait stations, and sealing materials already loaded for Minooka rodent calls.
Inspection covers attic, foundation, and utility penetrations, with species ID driving trap placement.
Guarantee coverage means a return visit is free if activity continues past the stated window.
Mice were getting into the pantry no matter how much steel wool I stuffed in myself. Turns out the real gap was behind the dryer vent.
Our warehouse had rodent activity near the loading dock and Nex Pest Control set up a monitored station program with logs for our next audit.
We'd tried every trap from the hardware store with no luck. The tech explained these were roof rats, not mice, and that changed everything about where traps went.

Nex Pest Control dispatches rodent-specialized technicians throughout Minooka and nearby communities, with trapping and exclusion gear stocked on every vehicle.

Mouse droppings are small and rod-shaped; rat droppings are noticeably larger, and the entry gap size differs too — mice fit through a quarter-inch, rats need closer to a half-dollar.
Trapping removes the current rodents, but sealing the gap is what prevents the next one from moving in — both steps matter.
We use tamper-resistant, locked bait stations and can place snap traps specifically out of pet reach on request.
Initial trapping shows results within days, with full clearance usually confirmed by the second visit.
We can document damage for your records and offer attic sanitation as an add-on service after removal is confirmed.
Yes, commercial accounts get scheduled exterior station checks with service logs for health and safety audits.
