Fast, effective rodent control should do more than make the noises stop. It should remove the rats and mice you already have and help keep new ones from getting inside. When you hear scratching in the walls, see something dart across the garage, or find droppings in a pantry or storage area, it usually means rodents are already settled in.
From your first visit, you can expect clear explanations, fair recommendations, and service from trained, licensed technicians who respect your home and time. Ongoing protection plans are available for customers who want continuous monitoring and a long term safety net.
Rodents show up where they can find three simple things: shelter, food, and water.
When nights get cooler, storms become frequent, or yard conditions change, rats and mice look for dry, stable spaces to nest. Tiny openings around pipes, electrical conduits, dryer vents, garage doors, and foundation walls become easy entry points. Once inside, they prefer quiet places where they are not disturbed.
Construction, remodeling, and landscaping changes can also drive rodent activity. When soil is turned, old buildings are removed, or heavy vegetation is cleared, established colonies are forced to move. Nearby homes and commercial spaces with small gaps or worn seals quickly turn into new shelter.
Easy food sources encourage them to stay. Unsecured trash, spilled bird seed, pet food left out overnight, stored grain, gardens, and poorly managed dumpsters or compost all make a property more inviting. Water from downspouts, low damp spots, irrigation leaks, or nearby ponds and streams completes the picture.
It is tempting to hope that a little scratching noise will go away on its own. The truth is that rodents rarely decide to leave once they are comfortable. They reproduce quickly, and a small issue can turn into a full infestation in just a few weeks.
While they are in place, they chew, contaminate, and leave droppings behind. Insulation, wiring, stored boxes, inventory, and personal belongings are all at risk. Urine and droppings can build up in hidden areas and eventually create noticeable odors.
Addressing rodents early helps in three important ways. It limits the amount of damage, keeps cleanup more manageable, and reduces health concerns for everyone who uses the space.
Step
1
Step 1: Inspection and Identification
Everything starts with a careful look at what is really happening. TDI Green Services technicians begin with a thorough inspection of the exterior perimeter, foundation, roofline, and key interior spaces such as basements, crawlspaces, attics, garages, and utility rooms.
We look for entry points, droppings, gnaw marks, rub lines, nesting sites, and conditions that may be drawing rodents in. Small gaps matter. Rats and mice can squeeze through openings around pipes, wires, vents, doors, and cracks in masonry or wood that do not look serious at first glance.
We also identify which types of rodents are present. Different species favor different areas and travel patterns, and knowing what we are dealing with helps us choose the right tools and placements.

Step 2: Removal and Initial Control
Once we understand how rodents are entering and where they are moving, we design a control plan that fits your property and your safety needs.
This often includes interior trapping along active routes and secured exterior bait stations where appropriate and allowed. In some settings, traps alone may be the best choice indoors, with bait stations limited to outdoor areas. In others, a combination gives the most efficient result.
Our goal is to bring the population down quickly without creating unnecessary risk. Devices are placed in secure locations or tamper resistant stations, and they are checked and adjusted on a schedule that matches the level of pressure on your property.

Step 3: Exclusion and Sealing
Rodent control is not complete until we deal with the ways rodents get inside. TDI Green Services technicians identify and seal entry points using durable, rodent resistant materials.
Common trouble spots include gaps around utility conduits and plumbing lines, worn or damaged vent covers, spaces under doors or garage doors, loose siding, and openings at the roofline where trim or soffits meet the structure.
By closing these pathways, we make it much harder for new rodents to enter, even if populations remain active in the surrounding environment. Exclusion is one of the most important steps in long term rodent management.

Step 4: Monitoring, Sanitation, and Prevention
Rodent control is often a process rather than a single visit. After the initial setup and exclusion work, we return as needed to recheck traps and stations, remove captured rodents, and fine tune placements based on what we see.
When appropriate and requested, TDI Green Services can help with certain aspects of cleanup. This may include removing carcasses, addressing accessible droppings, and using suitable deodorizing or sanitizing products to help reduce odors and improve hygiene. For heavy contamination or damaged insulation, we can outline next steps and connect you with specialized cleaning or insulation services.
As activity declines, your technician will review storage habits, sanitation practices, and exterior conditions that may attract rodents in the future. For properties with ongoing pressure, we can design a recurring monitoring and maintenance program to keep rodent activity under control over time.
Professional treatment sets the foundation, but small changes in and around the home can go a long way toward keeping rodents out. These steps work together with your service plan.
Look for gaps around exterior doors and windows and install or improve weatherstripping and door sweeps where needed. Make sure window screens, vent covers, and foundation vents are secure and in good repair.
Seal cracks and openings in foundations and exterior walls. Use steel wool or metal mesh for larger gaps and quality sealant for smaller cracks, especially around plumbing, electrical, and HVAC lines.
Store pantry items, pet food, and grain products in sturdy, airtight containers. Clean up crumbs and spills promptly in kitchens, dining areas, and pet feeding zones. Avoid leaving pet food out overnight when rodents are a concern.
Repair leaking faucets, pipes, or irrigation lines. Reduce standing water in low spots, buckets, and outdoor containers. Consistent moisture supports both rodents and insects, so reducing it helps on multiple fronts.
Keep vegetation and mulch a small distance away from foundations to reduce hidden travel routes along the base of the home.
Trim tree limbs and shrubs so they do not touch the roof or upper walls. Rodents often use branches as bridges to reach attics and upper levels.
Make sure outdoor trash and recycling containers have secure, tight fitting lids and that waste areas stay as clean as possible. Manage compost and bird feeding so they do not become constant food sources.
In colder months and during extended wet weather, rodents are more likely to move indoors. This is a good time to focus on inspections, sealing, and storage habits before pressure increases.
As vegetation thickens in spring and summer, outdoor rodent populations may grow. Regular trimming, clutter reduction, and good housekeeping in garages and sheds make it harder for rodents to nest close to the home.
TDI Green Services targets the rodent species most commonly found in and around homes and businesses, including:
Rats, such as roof rats that favor attics, rafters, and elevated spaces, and ground dwelling rats that stay closer to basements, crawlspaces, and foundations.
Mice, including house mice that live in and around structures and field mice that move between outdoor cover and indoor nesting sites.
If you are dealing with other small rodents or nuisance wildlife, our team can evaluate the situation, explain what we can address directly, and recommend or coordinate specialized help when needed.
Effective control combines three pieces. Remove rodents that are already inside, close off the entry points they use, and reduce food, water, and shelter that attract them. Professional service from TDI Green Services adds expert inspection, targeted control methods, and long term prevention planning.
Service typically begins with a detailed inspection, followed by a customized plan that may include traps, protected exterior bait stations where appropriate, exclusion work, and scheduled follow up visits. Cleanup and sanitation steps may also be included or recommended based on what we find.
Cost depends on the size and layout of the property, how long rodents have been active, and how much exclusion or cleanup is needed. After inspection, we provide a clear explanation of our recommendations and an upfront price so you know what to expect before work begins.
Professionals use a combination of methods, such as strategically placed traps, secure exterior bait stations, and structural exclusion. The exact mix is chosen based on where rats are nesting and traveling and what is most appropriate for your type of property.
The fastest approach is a focused plan that targets actual travel routes and nesting areas. Properly placed traps, combined with sealing entry points and improving sanitation, will resolve most infestations much faster than occasional or scattered trapping.
Rodents are drawn by food, water, and shelter. Gaps in the exterior, accessible trash, pet food, bird seed, cluttered storage areas, and heavy vegetation near the structure all make a property more inviting. Once they find a way inside, they often nest close to those resources.
Mice can reproduce several times per year, with multiple pups in each litter. A small, unnoticed problem can grow into a significant infestation in a relatively short period of time if it is not addressed.
TDI Green Services designs rodent programs with safety in mind. Traps and stations are placed where children and pets cannot reach them, and any products used are applied according to strict label directions. Your technician will explain any precautions to take while treatment is underway.
Depending on the property and level of rodent pressure, we can provide follow up visits, re service options, or ongoing monitoring and maintenance programs. After inspection, we explain which approach fits best and what type of coverage is included.
We can assist with key aspects of cleanup related to rodent activity and advise you on next steps if contamination or insulation damage is extensive. When needed, we can recommend or coordinate specialized services for full remediation and insulation replacement.
