Rat and mouse removal in Swarthmore
Rat & Mouse Removal in Swarthmore, PA
Mice and rats in the walls, the basement, the attic or the garage.
What you are dealing with
What you can see is usually part of it.
Older houses settle, and their stone foundations, sill plates and pipe holes open up over time. Mice and rats find those gaps, most of all in fall when they want somewhere warm.
We trap the ones inside and seal the gaps with metal and sealant they cannot chew through, so new ones cannot follow.
Any of these help us work out what is in there.
- Scratching in the walls or the ceiling at night
- Droppings in the kitchen, the basement or the garage
- Chewed food boxes or insulation
- Rub marks along pipes and walls

Questions people ask
What to know about rat & mouse removal.
How long will it take?
It depends on how many there are and how many gaps they use. You get the plan after the first visit.
Why do they come in during the fall?
They want warmth and food for the winter, and older houses have plenty of small gaps.
Can you seal a stone foundation?
We close the gaps rodents are using with material they cannot chew, and point out others you may want a mason to repoint.
