Rodents aren't only loud—they gnaw on wires, contaminate food, and make a mess. At Bug Squashers of Maryland, we take rodent control seriously. Hanover-based, we start by finding where they're entering, then trap, dispose of, and seal up holes so they won't return. From attic mice to basement rats, we've done it all—and fixed it all. Let us help you get your home clean, quiet, and rodent-free again.
Having Rodent Problems? We Have a Proven System to Rodent-Proof Your Property.
If you've noticed rodent signs—scratching sounds in the attic, droppings in your pantry, or gnawed wires—you're not alone. Mice, rats, and other unwanted critters can take over your home overnight, and that's not what you want. The good news? Bug Squashers of Maryland can help. We're professionals at thorough, effective rodent control that gets at the problem at its root.
Here is how to do it:
Our first action is a comprehensive tour of your property and home. We look for entry points, signs of infestation, and nests. We may include a glance in attics, crawlspaces, basements, and walls. Rodents are intelligent, and they will use openings no bigger than the thickness of a coin, so we leave no room for surprises.
Once we inspect, we proceed to seal any possible entry points. Rodents can fit through openings as small as a quarter, so we ensure that we seal all possible entry points. This step bars any other rodents from getting in while we take care of the existing infestation.
After we're done, we lay out concentrated traps and baits in key locations. We place them in key locations according to where we've had the most activity. Whether snap traps, bait stations, or live traps, we employ the appropriate method for your particular case. We make sure the traps are set out out of sight and are pet- and child-friendly.
Rodent control is a continuous service. We plan follow-up calls to check all the traps. During these calls, we check for any residual activity, re-bait the traps as needed, and make sure your home is still rodent-free. We'll also check again to make sure the entry points are still sealed.
To avoid any future problems, we also provide tips on how to maintain your home rodent-free in the long term. Some simple steps such as keeping food in covered containers, getting rid of trash properly, and proper maintenance of the exterior of your home can go a long way.
With Bug Squashers of Maryland, you can rest assured that your rodent problem will be eradicated effectively and efficiently. We don't just get rid of the rodents, but we also help you keep them away in the long run.
Rodents can do significant harm to your home and be health hazards if not stopped. Rats, mice, or squirrels, it doesn't matter what; you must be able to recognize the signs of rodent infestation at an early stage. Below are the most common signs that rodents are in your home.
Rodent droppings are the initial sign of infestation. Rodent droppings are small, black, and can be found in kitchen cabinets, pantry shelves, and behind appliances. Mice droppings are small in comparison to rat droppings, but both are disease-bearing. If you see droppings, it's time to act quickly.
Rodents gnaw on nearly everything to prevent their teeth from growing too long. Check for gnaw marks on packages, wires, baseboards, furniture, or insulation. They tend to be jagged and located in areas that are difficult to reach. When you notice gnawing throughout the house, it's a sign that rodents are present in the area.
Rodents construct nests for warmth and comfort. You might see shredded paper, insulation, or cloth hidden in walls, attics, basements, or corners. Rodents construct these nests in dark, hidden areas where they feel secure. If you see these materials, then it is likely that you have rodents infesting your home.
Rodents are nocturnal, and you can hear them scurrying around at night. If you hear scratching, gnawing, or rustling sounds in walls, attics, or ceilings, then it is a sign that rodents are present. Mice or rats also squeak, especially if they are communicating with each other.
If you notice oily footprints or trails on walls, then chances are rodents traverse those trails on a daily basis. Rodents leave grease from their fur when they move along floors and walls. Traces are generally observed along walls or floors where pathways are low.
If you notice any of these symptoms, don't wait. Rodents can carry disease and cause a lot of destruction. Contact Bug Squashers of Maryland for a full rodent control service to protect your home.
Rats and mice can squeeze into your home through dime- or quarter-sized openings. They chew wood, drywall, insulation, and even electrical wires. Rodents will find heat, food, and nesting sites once inside—your cozy home is their perfect hideaway. They're stealthy, intelligent, and very hard to catch without the right equipment or expertise. Even clean homes are not safe.
Rodents are prolific breeders. One female mouse can give birth to 10 litters of 5–12 youngsters per year. One pair alone can establish an infestation full-grown within a few months. And with them being nighttime animals, they might go unnoticed until it reaches an unstoppable force. They prefer nesting in walls, attics, and food areas.
Mice and rats don’t just steal your snacks—they spread disease. They’re known carriers of salmonella, hantavirus, and leptospirosis. Their droppings and urine contaminate surfaces, and their shedding fur can trigger asthma or allergies in sensitive individuals. Rodents also attract parasites like fleas and mites, making the problem even worse. Children and pets are especially vulnerable to the germs and bacteria rodents leave behind.
One of the most lethal aspects of mice and rats? Their non-stop chewing. Rodent teeth keep growing, so they gnaw on just about everything—yes, even electrical cords. This can lead to short circuits, ruined appliances, or even fires in your house. Taking a rodent issue lightly could cost you more than your snack stash or your sanity—it could damage your entire home.
Look for tiny droppings, gnaw marks, torn paper, scratching on walls, or oil spots on baseboards. You may also find a mildewy smell or hear them moving at night. When you spot one rodent, it is likely there are several more slinking around out of your eyes.
Rodent issues need more than traps. At Bug Squashers of Maryland, we offer complete rodent exclusion, cleanup, and prevention. Our professionals will seal holes, remove nests, and ensure they don't return—keeping your family protected year-round.
