Rodent Control and Prevention Services
For most homeowners, discovering a rodent in your home is incredibly unsettling and can lead to structural damage and long-term health issues. Mice and rats can squeeze through the tiniest of holes and crevices to enter into your home, using pipes, gaps beneath doors, and utility lines. ¼ of an inch is all it takes.
Rodent Control Service & Rodent Exclusion Services by Arrow Termite and Pest Control. The highest rated local rodent control, trapping, exclusion, and sanitation company in the greater Baton Rouge area. We hire and extensively train our team of rodent fighting technicians to understand the structure of a home and how to properly seal it to keep rodents out. The best way to keep your home rodent-free is to prevent rats and mice from ever getting inside.
Rats and mice can wreak havoc on the structure of your home and your health. Rodents leave feces droppings, urine stains, scratch and grease marks, chewed up material, odors, disease, and spread fleas, ticks, mites, and other pests!
Rodents fit through very small openings and can gnaw through wood, lead, aluminum, copper, cinder block, and uncured concrete.

We will quickly seal off these areas using high grade construction material and provide any other services in relation to trapping and sanitation.

This is done through sanitizers, misting machines, vacuums, and physical removal of nests and other infested materials. Rodents carry disease and are a huge health hazard.

Rodent Tips: In general, cleanliness is the enemy of rodents!
- Make sure any pet food is secure and stored properly. Do not leave pet food (or any food) out overnight.
- Trash needs to be secured properly where rodents do not have easy access.
- Vegetation needs to be cut back from the home as much as possible. Trees do not need to be overhanging the home.
- Make sure your home has proper drainage and no standing water is around that will attract rodents. Small bird baths and clogged gutters are common to attract rodents.
- Routinely inspect your home for cracks and potential entry points for rodents. A/C vents and other utilities going into your wall are common points.
- Rodents can scale walls vertically. Remember to inspect attics vents and eaves for entry points as well.
