Scratching in the attic at night is almost always roof rats working the roofline, while ground-level droppings near the pantry usually mean house mice — our technicians identify the species before setting a single trap.
A technician walks the roofline, foundation, and utility penetrations to find every gap a rodent could be using, not just the obvious one.


Every technician handling Shafter rodent calls carries state licensing and full liability coverage for both trapping and exclusion work.
Rodent calls in Shafter get prioritized scheduling since a small mouse problem can become a breeding population within weeks.
You get one flat quote covering trapping, gap sealing, and a scheduled follow-up — sealing costs are never a surprise add-on.
Our vehicles carry door sweeps, vent screening, and expanding sealant specifically for rodent exclusion work.
Roof rats travel roofline, eaves, and attic spaces, so trapping is placed along their actual travel paths, not just on the attic floor.
Norway rats burrow at the foundation and under sheds, so exterior bait stations and burrow treatment are part of the plan.
Snap traps go along interior travel routes — usually baseboards and cabinet edges — where mouse activity is heaviest.
Exclusion work covers roofline gaps, vent screens, garage door corners, and utility line penetrations.
Commercial rodent accounts get recurring exterior station checks documented for compliance records.
After removal, we can address contaminated insulation and droppings left behind in the attic.

Inspection covers attic, foundation, and utility penetrations, with species ID driving trap placement.
Traps and stations go out the same visit, gaps get sealed, and a follow-up confirms activity has stopped for good.
Scratching in the attic at 2am for a week straight — the technician found a roofline gap the size of a golf ball and sealed it same visit.
As a property manager, having documented service reports for every unit made compliance so much easier.
We'd tried every trap from the hardware store with no luck. The tech explained these were roof rats, not mice, and that changed everything about where traps went.

Nex Pest Control dispatches rodent-specialized technicians throughout Shafter and nearby communities, with trapping and exclusion gear stocked on every vehicle.

Roof rats are heard overhead in the attic, while Norway rats are more often found at ground level or in the crawl space.
Trapping removes the current rodents, but sealing the gap is what prevents the next one from moving in — both steps matter.
We use tamper-resistant, locked bait stations and can place snap traps specifically out of pet reach on request.
Most Shafter cases clear within one to two weeks once entry points are sealed, confirmed at a scheduled follow-up visit.
We can document damage for your records and offer attic sanitation as an add-on service after removal is confirmed.
