Rodent removal services in Lubbock, TX.
When the property has signs of activity but you're not sure whether it's rats, mice, or both — that's where combined rodent removal starts. We inspect, identify every species present, and run a treatment plan that covers all of them in one program.
Call (806) 207-3665Rodent removal services encompass the full cycle of inspection, species identification, targeted treatment, structural exclusion, and follow-up required to eliminate rat and mouse activity from a property. In Lubbock, TX, many properties have both roof rats and house mice active simultaneously — the attic running roof rats while the kitchen wall voids hold a mouse colony — and treating only one without addressing the other leaves the problem half-solved.
Why Lubbock properties often have multiple rodent species.
Roof rats and house mice are not competing species in Lubbock — they occupy different parts of the same property. Roof rats are arboreal and prefer upper spaces: attic insulation, soffit cavities, and the space behind gable vents. House mice are ground-level nesters that move into wall voids, kitchen cabinets, and pantry bases. A single older home near Tech Terrace can be running both simultaneously, with neither population aware of the other. When we find droppings on two different floor levels, we treat both, because a single-species program won't solve the full problem.
The semi-arid South Plains climate creates pressure from both directions. Cold fronts push roof rats out of trees and into attic access points. The same cold fronts push house mice from yard cover into wall gaps. A multi-species inspection is standard practice on every call we take in Lubbock — not an upsell.
What this service includes.
- Full multi-level inspection — attic, wall voids, crawl space, kitchen and pantry, garage, and full exterior perimeter.
- Multi-species ID — droppings analysis, runway mapping, gnaw-pattern assessment to confirm which species are present and where they're active.
- Species-appropriate treatment — separate bait station placement and trapping strategies for rats (upper locations, confirmed runways) and mice (wall-base traps, inside cabinets).
- Structural exclusion — roof-line and attic sealing for roof rats; weep-hole and utility-penetration sealing for mice. Both addressed in one service visit where possible.
- Follow-up visit — 10–14 days post-treatment to confirm no remaining activity from either species.
Our process — step by step.
Multi-level inspection
Attic to foundation — map every droppings location and runway before deciding on treatment.
Species confirmation
Roof rat, Norway rat, or house mouse — sometimes all three. Each gets its own treatment plan.
Layered treatment
Upper-level bait stations for rats, wall-base traps for mice. Deployed simultaneously.
Dual exclusion
Roof-line sealing and weep-hole/utility sealing in the same job where possible.
Follow-up
Return at 10–14 days. Both levels checked. No new activity from either species = done.

DIY vs. professional.
| Factor | DIY | Professional |
|---|---|---|
| Species identification | Guesswork — often treats one while missing the other | Confirmed from physical evidence at both levels |
| Upper-level treatment | Attic access is a safety risk without equipment | Standard for every roof-rat service call |
| Weep-hole sealing | Usually missed — homeowners don't know they exist | Checked on every exterior inspection |
| Follow-up | None — second species recolonizes fast | Scheduled return confirms both species eliminated |
