Mice and rats in Huntington Beach homes

Huntington Beach's palms and coastal climate make roof rats and Argentine ants common in homes. Mice and rats move indoors looking for food, water and warm places to nest, especially as nights get colder. They breed fast, so a few droppings in a cabinet can turn into a real infestation within weeks. A rodent control provider can find how they're getting in, remove them and seal the gaps.

Signs of mice and rats

  • Droppings in cabinets, drawers, along walls or in the attic
  • Scratching or scurrying in walls or ceilings at night
  • Gnaw marks on food packages, wood or wiring
  • Greasy rub marks along walls and baseboards
  • Nests made of shredded paper, fabric or insulation

Call a Huntington Beach pro if:

  • You find fresh droppings in more than one room
  • You hear scratching in the walls or ceiling at night
  • You see a rat inside or around the house
  • Food packages have been chewed open

Why it's worth getting help

  • Rodents contaminate food and surfaces with urine and droppings.
  • Deer mice can carry hantavirus. Don't sweep or vacuum droppings; wet them with disinfectant first.

What a local provider does

  • Set traps or bait stations placed safely away from kids and pets
  • Seal gaps around pipes, vents and foundations
  • Advise on sanitation and safe cleanup
