Commercial Rodent Control for Tempe, Home of ASU

A rodent problem in a commercial building can mean failed inspections, spoiled stock, damaged property and uneasy customers. Roof rats, house mice and pack rats stay active across the Valley all year, and business sites with dumpsters, food storage and big footprints give them plenty to work with. Even one sighting in a restaurant or shop can shake trust, so early action matters.
We handle commercial rat control in Tempe and mouse work alike, with over 40 years of service behind us. Based in Phoenix under Arizona license #2317, we are a government-trusted contractor, and our technicians and office staff are licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture, Pest Management Division.

Why Rodent Control Matters for Business

Rodents can spread Salmonella, Hantavirus and Leptospirosis through food and surfaces. Restaurant rodent control in Tempe matters most in food service, where any evidence can mean an inspection citation. Chewed wiring adds a fire risk, warehouses and retail shops lose stock and packaging, and property managers see complaints, turnover and repair costs.
Roof rats now live throughout the Valley. They climb along block walls, power lines and tree limbs to reach commercial rooftops, HVAC units and attics. Warehouse rodent control in Tempe works best when trapping and exclusion start early, since one pair can raise dozens of young in a year.

Rodent Control for Tempe Properties

Tempe’s median housing unit was built in 1986, and about 36 percent of its 91,442 housing units (32,952) were built before 1980. About 45 percent of units sit in buildings with 5 or more units, and about 20 percent (18,070 units) are in buildings with 50 or more units, so HOA rodent control in Tempe often means coordinating shared dumpsters, courtyards and common areas.
Tempe’s business side is just as varied. More than 40,000 people work at the businesses around Tempe Town Lake, which draws more than 2.4 million visitors a year, and the 320-acre ASU Research Park has three lakes covering 18 surface acres. Discovery Business Campus at Elliot Road and Loop 101 is a 135-acre park planned for about 2.5 million square feet of office and light industrial space, which makes industrial rodent control in Tempe a matter of dock doors, rooftops and large footprints as much as kitchens.

How Our Commercial Rodent Process Works

Step 1
Facility Inspection
We walk the whole property to find activity, entry points, food sources and places rodents shelter.
Step 2
Strategic Trapping
Traps go into tamper-resistant stations along the paths rodents travel. Each station is checked and serviced on a set schedule.
Step 3
Exclusion
Commercial rodent proofing in Tempe closes roofline gaps, utility penetrations, dock door gaps and foundation openings that let rodents in.
Step 4
Sanitation Recommendations
Our team guides you on dumpsters, food storage, landscaping and daily habits that make a site less inviting.
Step 5
Ongoing Monitoring and Documentation
Scheduled follow-up visits with written reports that support inspection readiness and your facility records.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do older Tempe buildings have more rodent problems?
Age alone does not decide it, but it is a good reason to inspect. About 36 percent of Tempe’s 91,442 housing units were built before 1980, and older seals, rooflines and utility gaps tend to wear over time. We check those points during an assessment and close the ones rodents can use.
About 45 percent of Tempe’s housing units are in buildings with 5 or more units, and about 20 percent (18,070 units) are in buildings with 50 or more units. In shared buildings, activity can move between units, so we inspect common areas and dumpsters and set up a coordinated plan under a commercial service agreement.
Yes. More than 40,000 people work at the businesses surrounding Tempe Town Lake, and the 320-acre ASU Research Park has three lakes and more than 6 miles of trails. We provide commercial trapping, exclusion and monitoring for sites like these, and same-day service is available Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5.
Yes. We use Integrated Pest Management, which relies first on exclusion, sanitation advice and trapping, and we offer Commercial Eco-Friendly Pest Control along with kid and pet friendly treatment options. We will talk through what suits your building during the assessment, so you know the plan before work begins.
Rat droppings run about 1/2 to 3/4 inch long, while mouse droppings are closer to 1/4 inch. Fresh droppings are dark and soft and can smear, and older ones turn dry, hard and crumbly. Roof rat droppings are spindle shaped and often show up in elevated spots. Avoid sweeping them dry and call us to inspect.
Mice need a full plan, not just traps: trapping in stations along their travel paths, sealing gaps as small as a dime, and fixing food and trash habits. Our rodent work carries a 30-day warranty, and commercial accounts sign a service agreement with scheduled visits. Call (602) 944-0099 to get started.
