The difference between a company that solves a rodent problem and one that bills you monthly is whether they seal the entry points or only set traps.
The first question to ask is whether they do exclusion. A company that only sets traps is selling you a subscription, because new rodents follow the same gaps. Exclusion - sealing the entry points - is what turns rodent control into a finished job.
Then check the basics: licensed and insured, willing to inspect and explain the plan before quoting, and able to handle the cleanup and any attic or crawl-space damage. A clear written scope and a straight answer on what your home needs beats a phone quote every time.

Rarely. A trap-only quote that skips exclusion costs more over time as the problem returns.
Yes. Exclusion is the core of our rodent work, not an add-on.
