Residential Rat and Mouse Control for Homes in Gilbert, AZ

Rodents rank among the most common household pests in the East Valley, and they are easier to handle early than late. House mice, roof rats and pack rats chew wiring, spoil pantry food and shred insulation. Once one finds a way inside, numbers build quickly, which is why prompt mice control in Gilbert pays off for your home and your peace of mind.
City Wide Pest Control is a family owned company based in Phoenix, and we treat every home as if it were our own. If you want a Gilbert rat exterminator, we combine trapping, sealing and follow-up checks to clear the problem and help keep it from returning. Residential service never requires a contract.

  • Why It Matters

Why Prompt Rodent Service Helps

Rats and mice can spread illnesses such as Hantavirus, Salmonella and Leptospirosis through droppings, urine and dirty surfaces. They also gnaw on electrical wiring, which can create a fire risk, and they ruin insulation, drywall and anything stored in boxes.
Roof rats are a steady concern across the Valley, especially around mature landscaping. They move along block walls, power lines and tree limbs to reach roofs and attics, and a single pair can raise dozens of young in a year. That is why roof rat control in Gilbert works best when it starts with a close look at the whole property line.

What Rodent Control Looks Like Around Gilbert

Gilbert grew up as a farming community, fueled by the Roosevelt Dam and the Eastern and Consolidated Canals in 1911, and it was known as the Hay Capital of the World until the late 1920s. Today the housing is mostly single-family: about 82.5 percent of units are detached homes (86,057 of 104,289), so most properties have their own yard, perimeter and block wall line to inspect. The median year built is 2004, per the ACS 2024 1-year estimate.
Homes here range from urban condos and apartments to large-lot executive homes, some for equine enthusiasts, so each inspection fits the property. Under Sec. 6-7 of the Code of Gilbert, it is unlawful to feed or place food for any wild or feral animal on town-owned property or a public right-of-way, a reminder that food sources matter. That food-first thinking shapes our roof rat removal in Gilbert visits. It also guides our work as a mouse exterminator in Gilbert for condos and large-lot homes alike.

  • Our Method

How We Remove Rodents

Step 1
Inspection
A technician licensed by the Arizona Department of Agriculture inspects your house, attic, garage and exterior for rodent activity, entry points and the food or water drawing them in.
Step 2
Trapping and Removal
Professional traps go in the spots rodents travel most, based on what the inspection turned up. For an active problem indoors, trapping is the safest and most effective first step.
Step 3
Exclusion (Sealing Entry Points)
Next we find and close the openings rodents use to get in, such as weep holes, worn garage door seals, gaps where plumbing or A/C lines pass through, and spaces along the roofline.
Step 4
Sanitation Recommendations
Your technician then shares simple ways to cut off food, lock down trash and tame citrus trees that attract rodents.
Step 5
Follow-Up and Monitoring
We come back to check traps, confirm the sealing work holds and make sure the problem is truly gone. Rodent service carries a 30-day warranty.

  • FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How are roof rats removed from a Gilbert home?
We start by inspecting the attic, roofline, block walls and nearby trees to find travel routes and entry points. Professional traps go along those routes, entry gaps get sealed, and your technician explains what to trim or tidy. We return to check traps and confirm the work held, and rodent service carries a 30-day warranty.
Call (602) 944-0099 Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5, and we will set up an inspection. Same-day service is available. We remove rats with professional traps, then seal the entry points so they stay out. Residential customers never sign a contract, and rodent work is covered by a 30-day warranty.
Food is a major draw for rodents. Under Sec. 6-7 of the Code of Gilbert, it is unlawful to feed or place food for any wild or feral animal on town-owned property or a public right-of-way. At home, keep pet food and birdseed sealed and trash lidded, and your technician will point out other food sources on your lot.
Yes. Sec. 6-128 of the Code of Gilbert requires droppings of fowl, registered pigeons and rodents kept on a property to be removed at least twice weekly, or stored in flytight containers. That rule covers animals that are kept, not wild rodents in your attic. For wild rodent activity, call us for an inspection.
Mouse droppings are small, about 1/4 inch, dark and pointed, like grains of rice. Rat droppings are larger, roughly 1/2 to 3/4 inch, and roof rat droppings are spindle shaped. Fresh droppings are dark and soft enough to smear, while old ones turn gray, dry and hard. Avoid sweeping them dry, and call us to confirm what you have.
Trapping is the safest and most effective first step indoors, so professional traps go along the routes mice use. Then every gap, even openings the width of a dime, gets sealed, and food and storage habits are tightened. A follow-up visit confirms the activity has stopped, and your technician explains how to keep mice from returning.
