Rodent Control for Montgomery, TX Homes

Mice and rats don't wait for an invitation. Once the weather cools off in Montgomery County, they start looking for a warm, dry place with food nearby, and that usually means your attic, garage, or the space under your kitchen sink. If you've heard scratching in the walls at night, you're not imagining it.

Army Ant Pest & Termite is veteran-owned and family-operated right here in Montgomery, TX. Owner J.D. Fisher is a certified applicator, and we've been handling rodent control for homes and businesses since 2012. Below is exactly how we work so you know what to expect before you call.

How to tell you've got mice or rats

Rodents are sneaky, but they leave clues. Here's what most folks notice first:

• Droppings along baseboards, in cabinets, or in the pantry. Mouse droppings are small and pointed. Rat droppings are bigger.
• Scratching or scurrying in the walls or attic, usually after dark.
• Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood trim, or even wiring.
• A musky smell that gets stronger over time.
• Grease marks along walls where they travel the same path again and again.
• Nests made of shredded paper, insulation, or fabric in quiet corners.

See one or two of these? You likely have more rodents than you think. They breed fast, so it's worth handling sooner rather than later.

Finding where they're getting in

You can't keep rodents out until you know how they're coming in. A mouse fits through a hole the size of a dime, and a young rat squeezes through a gap about the size of a quarter. So we go looking for the small stuff other people miss.

When we come out, we walk the whole property. We check the foundation, around pipes and utility lines, garage door corners, weep holes, roof lines, soffits, and vents. Attics are a common highway, so we look up there too. We map out active entry points and travel paths, then explain what we found in plain terms.

What a treatment looks like

Once we know what we're dealing with, we build a plan for your specific home. A typical rodent treatment includes:

1. Targeted control at the spots where rodents are active, using methods matched to whether you've got mice or rats.
2. Sealing and exclusion at the entry points we found, so new rodents can't stroll right back in.
3. Cleanup guidance for droppings and nesting material, since those attract more rodents and can carry health risks.

We work carefully around pets and kids, and we tell you what to keep an eye on after we leave.

The follow-up

Rodent work isn't a one-and-done thing. We come back to check our stations, confirm activity has dropped off, and adjust if anything's still moving. If a spot needs more attention, we handle it. The goal is a home that's quiet again, for good.

Keeping them out for the long haul

The best way to avoid a repeat is to not give rodents a reason to come back. Our recurring pest plans include regular visits so we catch new gaps and activity before they turn into a full-blown problem. Homes near woods, fields, or water in Montgomery County tend to see more pressure, and a steady plan keeps that in check.

Frequently asked questions

How fast can you come out for a rodent problem?

We work to get out to Montgomery County homes quickly, especially when there's active scratching or droppings inside. Reach out or book online and we'll set up the soonest time that fits your schedule.

Do I really need a follow-up visit?

Yes, and here's why: rodents breed fast and often use more than one entry point. A follow-up lets us confirm activity has stopped and catch anything we need to adjust. It's part of doing the job right.

Is rodent treatment safe around my pets and kids?

We plan every treatment with your household in mind and place control methods where pets and children can't reach them. We'll also walk you through anything to watch for before we leave.

What's the difference between a one-time treatment and a recurring plan?

A one-time treatment handles the rodents you have now. A recurring plan adds regular visits so we spot new gaps and early activity before they become a bigger issue. For homes near woods, fields, or water, the plan usually saves you headaches down the road.

How much does rodent control cost?

It depends on the size of your home and how the rodents are getting in. That's why we start with a free estimate. You'll get a clear price before any work begins.
