Rodent Control in Houston
Houston Rodent Removal & Exclusion Experts
Houston may be famous for its roach problems, but rodents can be just as aggressive when it comes to invading homes and businesses. Thanks to our warm climate and constant urban growth, rats and mice thrive here—and once they’ve found shelter, they’re not leaving on their own. At BUGCO® Pest Control, we specialize in rodent control solutions that do more than treat the surface problem. We track the activity, seal entry points, and help prevent rodents from coming back.
Whether you're dealing with gnawed wires, scratching sounds in the attic, or droppings in the pantry, we’re ready to help. Our team knows how to navigate Houston’s rodent issues with methods that are safe, effective, and grounded in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) strategies.

Common Rodents We Deal With in Houston
Rodents are smart, adaptable, and determined to find food and shelter. Unfortunately, Houston provides plenty of both. From older homes in central neighborhoods to newer construction on the outskirts, no structure is completely immune to rats or mice—especially during colder months or heavy rains when they seek indoor refuge.
The most common rodents we see across Houston include:
- Roof rats – Agile climbers that love attics and upper levels
- Norway rats – Larger ground-level rats known for burrowing under foundations
- House mice – Small and stealthy, often nesting in walls, cabinets, and garages
Rodents can contaminate food, chew through wiring, cause insulation damage, and even carry bacteria and parasites. The longer they go unchecked, the more extensive (and expensive) the damage can become.
Our Rodent Control Methods
At BUGCO® Pest Control, we combine industry-leading techniques with a deep understanding of Houston’s unique rodent issues to deliver reliable results. We don’t just treat the problem; we address its root cause for lasting relief.
Here’s how we handle rodent infestations in Houston:
- Thorough inspections - Our technicians conduct a detailed evaluation of your property to identify entry points, nesting areas, and food sources.
- Baiting and trapping - We use strategically placed traps and bait stations to remove rodents quickly and safely.
- Sanitation recommendations - Eliminating attractants like food debris and clutter is part of our plan to reduce rodent activity.
- Targeted treatments - Once we pinpoint the type of rodent and severity of the infestation, we implement treatment plans tailored to your property.
Our careful, measured approach addresses infestations thoroughly while keeping your family, pets, and employees safe.
Exclusion & Long-Term Rodent Prevention
Eliminating rodents is just the beginning. To stop them from coming back, we implement rodent exclusion techniques rooted in IPM. This means we focus on long-term prevention by physically sealing rodents out and making your property less appealing for them to return.
Here’s how we do it:
- Sealing gaps, cracks, and holes – even the size of a dime
- Installing rodent-proof vent screens and door sweeps
- Reinforcing attic or crawl space access points
- Addressing conditions that attract rodents – like excess clutter or poor drainage
- Ongoing property monitoring and maintenance recommendations
Houston’s mix of older infrastructure and humid conditions makes exclusion an essential part of any rodent control strategy. We’ve seen where rodents get in—and we know how to shut them out.
