Have you ever heard a scratching sound in your walls at night? You might be sharing your home with unwanted guests. Rodents, are a massive group of mammals found almost everywhere. While many live in the wild, some species have adapted incredibly well to urban areas, often becoming pests in our homes.
In Brownwood, Texas, homeowners are likely to encounter a few specific rodent species that have adapted well to the local environment. The most prevalent are house mice and two common rat species: the Norway rat and the pack rat. Each of these pests has distinct behaviors and preferences.
Rodents don’t just chew wires and contaminate food — they also spread disease and create costly damage to your home or business. Andy’s Pest Troopers provides full-service rodent control throughout Central and West Texas, offering fast relief and long-term protection.
Our Rodent Services Include: Inspection to find entry points, we deploy targeted solutions — including bait stations and tamper-resistant boxes — customized for safety, location, and effectiveness. Routine monitoring to maintain the effectiveness of the rodent control program.
We explain the scope of the problem, recommend next steps, and give upfront pricing.
All placements are designed to be safe for families and pets and comply with regulatory standards.
During these visits, our technicians will replenish bait, monitor rodent activity levels, and clean out bait stations to ensure everything remains safe, sanitary, and effective.
Once the rodents are gone, the job isn’t finished. Proper cleaning and disinfecting of the affected areas are crucial to eliminate any lingering germs and allergens. Taking these final steps ensures your home is not only rodent-free but also safe for your family.
Our goal is to provide effective, long-term rodent control. If you experience rodent activity between scheduled visits, we’ll work with you to evaluate the situation and adjust your service plan if needed to ensure the issue is fully addressed.
In some cases, this may involve adding or upgrading equipment — such as additional bait boxes, interior bait stations, or other control measures. Any adjustments will be discussed with you in advance so you know exactly what’s recommended and why.
Common signs include droppings, gnaw marks, scratching sounds at night, greasy rub marks along walls, and sightings — especially in garages, attics, or pantries. Look for signs like droppings, gnaw marks on furniture or wires, and nesting materials such as shredded paper or fabric. Identifying these indicators can help confirm a rodent infestation early.
Yes. They can chew wires (fire risk), damage insulation and structures, and spread disease. They also reproduce quickly, so early action is key.
Yes — we use pet-safe placement methods and tamper-proof bait boxes. Let us know what types of pets you have so we can customize further if needed.
If you have a problem with rats or mice and want to get rid of these rodents without causing harm to anything else, we recommend utilizing our bait box program. The bait box program includes placement of bait boxes around the perimeter of the structure(s) and/or inside the structure, regular monitoring and maintenance of onsite bait boxes. These tamper-resistant bait boxes are designed to encourage rats and mice to enter and feed on the bait, but not allow inquisitive pets or children access. The bait boxes are plastic and are suitable for internal and external locations.
DIY rodent repellents can provide temporary relief from infestations, but their effectiveness for long-term control is limited. For sustained results, a comprehensive approach that combines prevention, proper sanitation, and professional pest management is often necessary to keep rodents at bay.
Benefits of Tamper-Resistant Bait Boxes:
If your pet catches a mouse or rat, first ensure its safety by removing the rodent gently. Check your pet for injuries and consult a veterinarian if needed. Properly dispose of the rodent, and take measures to prevent future infestations in your home.
