Rodents Cause More Damage Than You Think
Mice and rats contaminate food, spread disease, chew electrical wiring, and shred insulation for nesting. We see the biggest spike across the Treasure Valley from October through February, when rodents from the foothills and ag fields push indoors for warmth. A single pair of mice can produce 200+ offspring in a year, so a small problem in fall becomes a serious one by spring.
We heard scratching in our walls for months. Green Guard found the entry points, removed the rodents, and sealed everything up. Problem solved permanently.

Know Your Enemy: Rodent Control Facts
Identification
House mice are small (2-4 inches), gray-brown with large ears. Norway rats are larger (7-10 inches), brown with smaller ears. Roof rats are slender, black, and excellent climbers.
Behavior & Habits
Rodents are nocturnal, gnaw constantly to wear down their teeth, and can squeeze through openings the size of a dime (mice) or a half dollar (rats). In the Treasure Valley, deer mice from the sage and foothills are the species we trap most often inside homes, especially in Boise's Bench and East End neighborhoods where older foundations have more gaps.
Health & Property Risks
Rodents carry hantavirus, salmonella, and other diseases. They chew electrical wiring (fire hazard), damage insulation, and contaminate food.
Warning Signs You Have an Infestation
- Droppings (small pellets) in cabinets or along walls
- Gnaw marks on wood, plastic, or food packaging
- Scratching or scurrying sounds at night
- Grease marks along baseboards
- Nesting materials (shredded paper, insulation)
- Musty odor in enclosed spaces
How We Solve Your Pest Problem
A proven, three-step approach to complete pest elimination
Find the Entry Points
We walk the perimeter, attic, and crawlspace to map every gap, gnaw mark, and droppings trail. No guessing where they're getting in.
- Entry point mapping
- Damage check
- Population estimate
Trap and Bait
Snap traps and tamper-resistant bait stations placed where the rodents actually run, not where it's easy. We check progress weekly until activity stops.
- Strategic trap placement
- Tamper-resistant bait stations
- Weekly monitoring
Seal Them Out
We close every gap with rodent-proof materials so the next family of mice can't move in. This is the step most pest companies skip, and it's the only reason rodents stay gone.
- Gap and hole sealing
- Vent screens
- Door sweeps
