Professional Rodent Control in Montgomery & River Region
Mice and rats are common household pests that can enter homes in search of food and shelter. Once inside, they can contaminate food areas, damage insulation and wiring, and reproduce quickly if access points are not addressed.
Wildlife and Exclusion Pro provides comprehensive rodent control focused on both removal and prevention. We identify how rodents are entering, remove the existing activity, and seal entry points to help prevent future access. Our approach combines professional trapping, inspection, and exclusion to create long term protection for your home.
Common Rodent Species Invading Homes in Montgomery & River Region
House Mice
House mice are the most common rodent found in homes and can enter through openings as small as the size of a dime. They are highly adaptable and can reproduce quickly if access points are not addressed. Common signs of activity include small droppings, gnaw marks, and light rustling sounds in walls or ceilings.
Norway Rats
Norway rats, also known as brown rats or sewer rats, are commonly found around ground level areas such as basements, crawl spaces, and first floors. They are strong burrowers and capable swimmers, and their presence often indicates an access point near the foundation or lower exterior of a structure.
Roof Rats
Roof rats are excellent climbers and are commonly found in upper areas of structures such as attics, ceilings, and wall voids. They often gain access through overhanging tree branches, gaps along roof lines, or damaged soffits and vents. Roof rats are especially common in areas with citrus or other fruit trees.
Signs of Rodent Infestation
- Droppings – Small, dark pellets near food sources, along walls, and in hidden areas
- Gnaw marks – On food packaging, wood, plastic, and wiring
- Sounds – Scratching, scurrying, and squeaking in walls and ceilings
- Rub marks – Dark, greasy marks along walls where rodents travel
- Nests – Shredded paper, fabric, or insulation in hidden areas
- Odor – Musty, ammonia-like smell from urine
Our Rodent Control Process
Step 1: Inspection
We inspect your entire property to identify the rodent species, locate entry points, assess the severity of infestation, and understand what's attracting them. This inspection guides our entire treatment strategy.
Step 2: Exclusion
We seal all entry points, and with rodents, this means gaps as small as 1/4 inch for mice or 1/2 inch for rats. We use steel mesh, copper mesh, and other materials that rodents cannot chew through. This is the most important step for long-term control.
Step 3: Population Removal
We use a combination of trapping and baiting strategies to eliminate existing rodent populations. Our technicians place devices strategically based on rodent behavior patterns for maximum effectiveness.
Step 4: Sanitation & Prevention
We provide recommendations for reducing food, water, and shelter that attract rodents.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to Identify Alabama Rodent Species & Nesting Habits
Understanding physical traits and nesting preferences helps homeowners recognize which rodent species has entered the property.
House Mouse Identification
Small, dusty gray bodies measuring 2 to 4 inches long with large ears and hairless tails.
Nesting: Prefers shredded insulation or wall void nesting near kitchen food pantry sources.
Roof Rat Identification
Sleek dark brown or black bodies measuring 6 to 8 inches with tails longer than their body length.
Nesting: Nests high in attic insulation, ceiling voids, rooflines, and trees.
Norway Rat Identification
Heavy, stocky brown bodies measuring 7 to 10 inches with small ears and tails shorter than body length.
Nesting: Burrows low along crawlspaces, concrete slabs, and basements.
Health, Contamination & Structural Hazards
Rodents must constantly chew on hard materials to prevent their open-rooted incisors from overgrowing. In residential structures, this gnawing causes structural damage to wood framing, PVC water lines, and electrical wire insulation.
Furthermore, rodents spread urine, droppings, and dander across cooking surfaces, food packages, and attic insulation, introducing secondary pests like fleas, mites, and ticks into living spaces.
