5 Highlights on Rodent Control
Rodent control is the systematic process of eliminating rats, mice, and other vermin from residential and commercial properties. A & R Pest Solutions delivers thorough rodent control built on proven methods and strict safety standards.
Comprehensive Inspections
Our licensed applicators inspect every entry point, burrow, and harborage area, then document findings in a detailed inspection report.
Integrated Pest Management
We apply IPM principles that combine sanitation, exclusion, and targeted rodenticide use to break the infestation cycle.
Tamper-Resistant Bait Stations
Our technicians install secure bait boxes that protect children, pets, and non-target wildlife while controlling rodent populations.
Humane Trap Options
We offer snap traps, glue boards, and live traps for clients who prefer mechanical capture over chemical methods.
Disease Vector Prevention
Rodents spread hantavirus, leptospirosis, and salmonella. Our service removes droppings, sanitizes contaminated zones, and seals access points to prevent reinfestation.
Every visit ends with clear documentation and follow-up recommendations from our team.

Why Choose Our Rodent Control
Rodent control demands experience, the right products, and a methodical approach. A & R Pest Solutions brings all three to every job. We provide proven solutions for any rat problem or rodent problem, protecting homes and businesses from the health risks that come with an infestation.
Our exterminators hold Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) pest control licenses and follow EPA regulations on every property we treat. We train each technician in rodent biology, behavior, and the safe handling of anticoagulant baits like bromadiolone and warfarin. That knowledge translates to faster results and fewer callbacks.
We back our rodent control work with a written service guarantee. If rats or mice return between scheduled visits, we return at no additional charge. Our pricing stays transparent, with no hidden fees for follow-up inspections or extra bait stations.
Our company carries full liability insurance and equips every technician with proper PPE, including respirators, gloves, and hazmat suits when conditions require them. We treat schools, restaurants, warehouses, homes, and businesses with the same rigorous protocol.
Customers choose us because we communicate clearly. We explain what we found, what we’ll do, and what you can do to keep rodents out. Our inspection reports include photos of gnaw marks, tracks, droppings, and entry points so you see exactly what we see.
A & R Pest Solutions maintains active National Pest Management Association (NPMA) membership and has served homeowners and businesses across Washington State since 2016 – including Vancouver, Camas, Battle Ground, and communities throughout Clark and Cowlitz County. We earn trust one property at a time.

Signs You Need Rodent Control
Rodent activity often hides in walls, attics, and crawl spaces, but the warning signs are clear once you know what to look for.
Droppings in Cabinets or Pantries:
Rat and mouse droppings appear as small dark pellets near food storage areas, along baseboards, or inside drawers. Fresh droppings look moist and dark, while older ones turn gray and crumble. Finding even a small amount means rodents have established a feeding route through your space.
Gnaw Marks on Wires, Wood, or Packaging:
Rodents gnaw constantly to file down their incisors. You’ll spot teeth marks on electrical wiring, wooden beams, plastic containers, and cardboard boxes. Chewed wires create real fire hazards and structural damage, demanding immediate professional attention.
Scratching or Scurrying Sounds at Night:
Rats and mice are nocturnal. Scratching, squeaking, or scurrying noises inside walls, ceilings, or attics after dark indicate a nest or active colony. The sounds often travel along joists and pipes.
Burrows and Nesting Materials:
Norway rats burrow near foundations, woodpiles, and dense vegetation. Indoors, mice build nests from shredded paper, fabric, and insulation. Discovering a burrow entrance or a hidden nest confirms an active infestation.
Greasy Rub Marks Along Walls:
Rodents follow the same paths repeatedly, leaving oily smudges on walls, pipes, and floorboards. These rub marks track their movement and help our technicians identify travel routes for bait and trap placement.
Spotting any of these signs warrants a call to A & R Pest Solutions at (855) 466-7158 to schedule an inspection and get your rodent problem under control.

Our Rodent Control Process
Rodent control with A & R Pest Solutions follows a five-step protocol designed for lasting results.
Inspection
Our technician arrives, inspects the interior and exterior, and identifies entry points, harborage areas, droppings, and gnaw marks. We document everything with photos and notes.
Identification
We confirm the species, whether Norway rat, roof rat, or house mouse. Each species behaves differently – Norway rats forage at ground level and respond to floor-level bait stations, while roof rats travel elevated paths and require stations placed above ground – and our treatment plan reflects those differences.
Treatment Plan
We build a custom strategy combining bait stations, snap traps, glue boards, and exclusion work. For sensitive accounts like food service facilities, we apply non-toxic mechanical methods first.
Application and Exclusion
Our licensed applicator places tamper-resistant bait boxes at strategic points, sets traps along travel routes, and seals entry points with steel wool, copper mesh, and concrete patches. We block gaps around pipes, vents, and foundation cracks.
Monitoring and Follow-Up
We schedule return visits to check bait consumption, reset traps, clean affected areas, and confirm the infestation is gone. We ensure all activity has stopped before closing the account. Each follow-up includes a fresh inspection report and recommendations for ongoing sanitation.
In addition to initial treatment, commercial accounts receive monthly or quarterly service plans. Residential clients get a 30-day follow-up by default, with extended monitoring available. Every step connects to one goal: removing rodents and keeping them out.
Brands We Use
Rodent control results depend on quality products and proper application. A & R Pest Solutions uses trusted brands recognized across the pest control industry.
Every product we apply meets EPA registration standards. Our licensed applicators store, transport, and dispense rodenticides according to label directions and state regulations.

FAQs About Rodent Control
What is rodent control?
Rodent control is the professional process of inspecting, treating, and preventing infestations of rats, mice, and related vermin. The service combines trapping, baiting, exclusion, and sanitation guidance.
When should I schedule rodent control?
Schedule service as soon as you notice droppings, gnaw marks, scratching sounds, or grease trails. In Clark and Cowlitz County, Norway rats and roof rats begin moving indoors from September through November as temperatures drop – fall is the peak treatment season in Southwest Washington, though indoor infestations occur year-round.
Why is professional rodent control better than DIY methods?
Store-bought traps and baits treat symptoms, not sources. Our licensed applicators identify entry points, apply EPA-approved rodenticides safely, and seal access gaps that homeowners often miss. Professional service breaks the breeding cycle.
How does rodent control work?
Our technicians inspect the property, identify species and harborage, place bait stations and traps along travel routes, seal entry points, and return for follow-up monitoring. Each step targets a specific phase of the infestation.
Can rodent control protect my family from disease?
Yes. Rats and mice carry hantavirus, leptospirosis, salmonella, and plague. The health risks are serious for families, employees, and customers. Removing rodents, sanitizing contaminated zones, and sealing access points reduces exposure to these disease vectors and eliminates ongoing risks to occupant health.
Does rodent control harm pets or children?
Our service uses tamper-resistant bait stations and places traps in locations inaccessible to pets and children. We discuss every product choice with you before application and offer non-toxic alternatives when requested.
How long does rodent control take?
Initial treatment runs one to two hours depending on property size. Full elimination typically takes two to four weeks with scheduled follow-ups to confirm results.
