Updated
Chadwick Exterminating tackles mice and rat problems in Indianapolis with a two-part approach: seal the entry points rodents are using, then remove the ones already inside. Technicians inspect foundations, utility lines, and vents for gaps, place snap traps and bait stations where activity is heaviest, and follow up until activity stops. Indianapolis homeowners get fair, straightforward pricing.

What do customers ask about Mice & Rat Removal?
Common questions and tips from our work with Indianapolis customers.
How do you know where mice are getting in?
Technicians do an entry point inspection around the foundation, roofline, utility penetrations, and vents. Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as a quarter inch, so we check dryer vents, pipe chases, and gaps around garage doors too. Once we map the entry points, we seal them with rodent-proof materials and place traps inside to catch anything still active.
Will sealing the house get rid of mice already inside?
Sealing stops new mice from entering, but it will not remove the ones already inside. That is why we pair exclusion sealing with snap trap placement and bait stations in areas showing droppings or gnaw marks. Most Indianapolis homes see trap activity drop within the first one to two weeks once entry points are closed and food sources are cleaned up.
Tip
Rats need less space than you think
A rat can flatten its body to fit through a gap the size of a half dollar, and mice fit through gaps around a quarter inch wide. That is why exclusion sealing has to cover every utility penetration, not just obvious holes. We check gas lines, cable lines, and dryer vents on every visit since these are common overlooked entry points in Indianapolis homes.
Do you use poison bait around pets and kids?
We place bait stations in enclosed, tamper-resistant housings and position them along walls or in crawl spaces away from foot traffic. For homes with pets or young kids, we lean more heavily on snap trap placement in the interior and reserve bait for exterior perimeter zones. We walk through placement locations with the homeowner before we leave.
