Rodents rarely stay gone after one visit. BRD places targeted bait stations and services them quarterly to keep populations under control season after season.
Mice and rats damage property, carry disease, and contaminate food. BRD's rodent control uses strategically placed bait stations, serviced quarterly so populations stay under control all year.
We inspect interior and exterior to find where rodents are active and feeding.
We place targeted bait stations in those areas to knock down the active population.
A technician returns every quarter to check each station, remove rodents, and refresh bait, keeping activity under control year-round.
House mice are small, curious, and constantly sampling new food sources, which makes them relatively quick to take bait. They nest close to food, often inside wall voids, pantries, appliance housings, and stored boxes, and they leave small, scattered droppings. A mouse can pass through a gap about the width of a pencil, so entry points are easy to miss.
Rats behave differently. Norway rats stay low, favoring crawl spaces, burrows near the foundation, and the ground floor, while roof rats climb and are far more likely to be in the attic, along utility lines, and in trees touching the roof. Rats are also neophobic, meaning they avoid unfamiliar objects for a period before approaching, so results take longer and station placement matters more. Identifying the species tells your technician where stations go and how quickly to expect a drop in activity.
Knocking down the rodents currently inside a structure is the easy half. The hard half is that the conditions which attracted them do not change when the last one is removed. The same food sources, the same harborage, and the same entry points are all still there, and rodent populations reproduce fast enough to refill that space in a matter of weeks.
That is why BRD treats rodents as an ongoing program rather than a single visit. Stations stay in place at the points of activity, and each service visit is a chance to see whether pressure is rising or falling in specific areas of the property. Consistent monitoring is what keeps a population suppressed through the fall and winter, when rodents move indoors hardest.
Your technician inspects every station on the property rather than just refilling them. Bait consumption is the data: heavy feeding at one station and none at another tells us where activity is concentrated and whether placements need to move. Any rodents found are removed, and bait is replenished at every visit so no station sits empty between services.
The visit also includes a look at the conditions driving the problem. Overflowing bird feeders, pet food stored in the garage, dense ground cover against the foundation, and gaps around utility penetrations all keep pressure high, and your technician will point out what is working against you. Addressing those alongside the baiting program is what moves a property from managed to genuinely quiet.
Telltale signs include droppings, gnaw marks on food packaging or wires, scratching sounds in walls or ceilings at night, and grease smudges along baseboards. We confirm the activity and the entry points during the inspection.
Rodents reproduce quickly, so a few traps rarely solve the problem. Tamper-resistant bait stations, placed where rodents travel and serviced on a schedule, keep the population suppressed season after season rather than knocking down a handful at a time.
We service rodent stations quarterly. Each visit, your technician inspects every station, removes any rodents, and refreshes the bait so protection never lapses.
Yes. We use tamper-resistant, locked stations placed in areas rodents frequent but children and pets cannot access, so the bait stays secured inside.
The stations we use are tamper-resistant and locked, so the bait inside is not accessible to pets or children. Placement matters too, and your technician positions them along rodent travel routes, which are typically low-traffic areas like foundation lines, crawl spaces, and behind structures rather than open areas where kids and pets spend time.
For mice, most homes see a clear drop within one to two weeks. Rats often take longer, sometimes three to four weeks, because they are cautious about new objects and need time to start feeding consistently. If noise or activity has not dropped noticeably by then, tell us and we will reassess placements.
It is possible, and it is usually brief. Rodents most often die near a water source or their nest rather than inside a wall cavity, and your technician removes any found on each visit. If an odor does develop, it typically resolves within one to two weeks. Let us know and we will help locate the source where we can access it.
If pests return between scheduled services, so do we, at no additional charge. We don't stop until the job is done.
Every BRD technician is fully licensed, background-checked, and trained in the latest treatment methods and safety protocols.
Local teams mean faster scheduling. When you can't wait, we often can have a technician at your door the same day you call.
