Residential Rat and Mouse Control for Homes in Peoria

Rodents are common household pests in the West Valley, and house mice, pack rats and roof rats can chew wiring, spoil food and soil insulation. Homeowners who need roof rat removal in Peoria often first notice noise in the attic or droppings in the garage. Acting early matters, because rodents breed quickly once they settle in.
City Wide Pest Control is family owned, and our licensed technicians act as a rat exterminator in Peoria from the first inspection to the final check. Our approach pairs trapping with exclusion and ongoing monitoring to clear out rodent problems and keep them from returning. Residential service never requires a contract.

  • Why It Matters

Why Rodents Are Worth Addressing

Rodents are more than a nuisance. Their droppings, urine and the surfaces they touch can spread illnesses such as Hantavirus, Salmonella and Leptospirosis, and their constant gnawing can harm wiring, insulation, drywall and stored belongings. Chewed wires are also a fire risk.
UA Extension notes that roof rats are well established in some Arizona neighborhoods. They climb wires, block walls and overhanging limbs to reach roofs and attics, which is why roof rat control in Peoria looks at the roofline as closely as the ground. Left alone, one pair can raise a large family within a year.

Rodent Control Across Peoria and Lake Pleasant

Peoria had an estimated population of 196,906 in the ACS 2020 to 2024 5-year estimates, and about 74.3 percent of its housing units (58,736 of 79,085) are single-family detached homes. Yards, block walls, rooflines and garages give roof rats and mice plenty of routes to follow, from Old Town Peoria out to Vistancia. About 52.6 percent of housing units (41,601 of 79,085) were built before 2000, so older rooflines, vents and utility entries deserve a careful look during an inspection.
UA Extension says dumpsters and trash cans are primary lures for rats, and that roof rats are well established in some Arizona neighborhoods. It also reports that Arizona roof rats can carry Oriental rat fleas, cat fleas and dog fleas, which can transfer to pets. If you hear noises overhead or find droppings, call (602) 944-0099 and we will talk through mice control in Peoria and the next step.

  • Our Method

How Our Rodent Service Works

Step 1
Inspection
Licensed technicians inspect your attic, garage and exterior, looking for rodent activity, entry points and the food or water that draws them in.
Step 2
Trapping and Removal
We set professional traps along the routes rodents actually use. For an active problem inside the house, trapping is the safest and most effective place to start.
Step 3
Exclusion (Sealing Entry Points)
Next we find and close the gaps rodents use to get in, such as roofline gaps, pipe and A/C line penetrations, weep holes and garage door seals.
Step 4
Sanitation Recommendations
Your technician talks through trash handling, food storage and fruit trees, plus anything else that draws rodents to your yard.
Step 5
Follow-Up and Monitoring
We come back to check traps, confirm the exclusion work and make sure the problem is fully resolved. Rodent service carries a 30-day warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who provides rodent control in Peoria, and is there a contract?
City Wide Pest Control is locally owned and operated, and the same family has run it since 1986. We inspect, trap, seal entry points and monitor until the problem is resolved, and residential service never requires a contract. Rodent work carries a 30-day warranty. Same-day service is available, so call (602) 944-0099, Monday to Saturday, 8 to 5.
UA Extension says roof rats are well established in some Arizona neighborhoods, and that dumpsters and trash cans are primary lures for rats. Roof rats climb wires, block walls and tree limbs to reach attics, so we inspect the roofline and exterior as well as the ground. Securing your trash is a good first step.
UA Extension reports that roof rats in Arizona can carry Oriental rat fleas, cat fleas and dog fleas, and that these parasites can transfer from roof rats to pets. That is a good reason to deal with rats in the attic or yard promptly. We can also advise on sealed pet food and bringing bowls inside at night.
Mouse droppings are small, about 1/4 inch, with pointed ends. Roof rat droppings are larger, around 1/2 inch, and spindle shaped. Fresh droppings are dark and soft, so they can smear a little, while old ones turn hard, dry and crumbly. Wear gloves and a mask when cleaning up, or call us to confirm what you found.
Find where the mice are traveling, set traps along those routes and seal the gaps, since a mouse can fit through an opening about the size of a dime. Keep food in sealed containers. If you want a mouse exterminator in Peoria to handle it, we inspect, trap, seal and return to confirm the problem is resolved.
