Rodent Pest Control
Animal Removal Richmond offers secure and efficient mice and rat removal services for your residence or workplace in Henrico.
Mice and rats possess the ability to squeeze through small spaces, swiftly infiltrating any location. These rodents reproduce at a rapid pace, and their quick transmission of bacteria and diseases poses a significant threat. Even if you haven’t directly observed a mouse, the presence of tiny rod-shaped black droppings near baseboards or food storage areas often serves as a reliable indicator of a rodent infestation on your premises.
Whether for residential or commercial spaces, effective rodent pest control is crucial for preserving the quality of life and business reputation in Henrico.

As an integral part of a strategic and all-encompassing pest control strategy, place emphasis on enhancements in the following areas to deter rodents:
- Install door sweeps to effectively keep pests from scurrying into your facility
- Inspect and clean drains. Lingering food particles in moist areas attract pests. Make sure drains are thoroughly cleaned on a regular basis
- Ensure that trash and recycling bins are emptied regularly and have self-closing and tight fitting lids to keep rodents and other wildlife away
- Inspect roofs for possible pest infestations and to repair any possible rodent entry points including skylights and deteriorated gutters
- Manage moisture properly. Pests are attracted to humid environments. Industrial grade fans help to eliminate moisture once a facility is cleaned for the night
Clearing up Myths about Mice
- Cats or dogs may hunt a mouse for sport, but cannot control rodent infestations
- Mice do not necessarily like cheese. The best bait for mice is peanut butter, chocolate and meats.
- It is rare for only a single mouse to take up residence at any home or facility. Mice reproduce rapidly with a single female producing up to 60 offspring each year.
