Mice and Rats

What has 4 legs, tiny paws, and hates to see Lead Pest Control coming? That’s right, mice and rats.

If you are seeing mice or rats in your home, there is a good chance the problem is bigger than what you see. Rodents can contaminate food, damage property, and quickly multiply. Lead Pest Control helps identify rodent activity, target the source, and protect your home.

What are Mice and Rats?

Mice and rats are common household pests that enter homes looking for food, water, and shelter. They often hide in attics, crawl spaces, garages, basements, wall voids, and kitchens, especially when temperatures drop or access is easy. Call for a free inspection:

Why Mice and Rats Are a Problem

Mice and rats are more than a nuisance. They can contaminate food, spread bacteria, damage insulation, chew wiring, and create ongoing problems if the entry points and nesting areas are not addressed. What starts as a small rodent issue can grow fast.
