Rodent Control in Houston
Protecting Spring Homes from Rats, Mice & Other Unwanted Guests
Hearing scratching in the walls? Spotting droppings near food or under sinks? It may very well be rodents trespassing where they don't belong. Mice and rats can chew through wiring, contaminate food, and carry diseases that no homeowner or commercial property manager wants to deal with. Unfortunately, the Houston area is no stranger to rodent activity. With dense neighborhoods, aging infrastructure, and warm winters, conditions are ideal for rodents to settle in—and stay.
At H-Town Home Services, we help homeowners across Spring, Cypress, and the Greater Houston area eliminate active rodent problems and seal up their homes to prevent them from coming back. Whether you’ve seen one scurry across the floor or you're just hearing unexplained noises at night, we’re here to help.

How Rodents Sneak In—and Where They Hide
Rodents don’t need much to make themselves at home. Mice can squeeze through holes the size of a dime, and rats can climb, chew, and force their way through surprisingly small openings. Once inside, they build nests in attics, crawlspaces, insulation, and wall voids—often going undetected until the damage starts to show.
Most common rodent entry points we see around Houston homes include:
- Gaps under garage doors
- Cracks in the foundation
- Unsealed utility or AC line penetrations
- Attic vents or roof returns
- Open chimneys or uncapped flues
- Gaps around exterior doors or windows
Rodents are opportunists. If there’s a way in, they’ll find it. And once they’re comfortable, they can reproduce quickly, making the problem worse before you even realize it. At H-Town Home Services, we’ll pinpoint where they’re getting in and offer a plan to block them out.
How Professional Rodent Control Works
Getting rid of rodents means more than just setting traps. At H-Town Home Services, we take a full-coverage approach that addresses both the immediate issue and the long-term prevention. Every job starts with a detailed inspection and ends with a home that’s fortified against future invasions.
Here’s what’s typically included in our rodent control services:
- Thorough inspection – We check attics, crawlspaces, garages, and exterior access points to assess the extent of the problem.
- Species identification – Knowing whether you’re dealing with mice, roof rats, or Norway rats helps us choose the best control methods.
- Trapping and removal – We use professional-grade traps and placement strategies to quickly reduce active populations.
- Exclusion work – We seal up holes, vents, and gaps with rodent-proof materials like steel mesh, expanding foam, and door sweeps.
- Sanitizing and clean-up – We can help remove contaminated insulation and apply disinfectant to affected areas where droppings or urine are found.
- Follow-up services – In more severe infestations, we offer return visits to re-check traps and make sure everything is secure.
Signs You Might Have a Rodent Problem
Not every rodent issue starts with a sighting. In fact, most homeowners hear or smell signs before they ever see a mouse or rat in person. Knowing what to look for can help you take action sooner.
Look out for:
- Droppings in pantries, drawers, or along baseboards
- Gnaw marks on wood, wires, or food packaging
- Scratching or movement sounds in walls or ceilings
- Grease marks along entry points or walls
- Nests made of insulation, shredded paper, or fabric
- Sudden pet agitation near specific walls or cabinets
If you’re seeing—or hearing—any of these, chances are, rodents are already inside. The sooner you call H-Town Home Services to respond, the easier the issue is to contain.
