About National Rodent Control
Connecting Homeowners With Rodent Control Professionals
National Rodent Control is a nationwide resource and referral network. We help homeowners identify, understand, and solve rat and mouse problems through our curated network of local pest professionals.
Our Approach
Rodent control is one of the most commonly mishandled pest problems in residential homes. Homeowners dealing with rats or mice in the attic often get quoted monthly bait contracts from large pest franchises, rather than the exclusion work that would actually solve the problem.
National Rodent Control exists to connect homeowners with pest professionals who take a different approach. The professionals in our network emphasize exclusion-focused rodent control: identifying and sealing entry points as the foundation of any rodent treatment plan. This approach aims to resolve problems for the long term rather than managing them indefinitely.
We also produce educational content to help homeowners understand rodent behavior, identify what species they're dealing with, and recognize the difference between quality pest control work and recurring contract upsells. The more informed homeowners are, the better outcomes they get from any pest professional.

What We Don't Do
We want to be transparent about what National Rodent Control is and isn't. We don't perform pest control services ourselves. We don't send technicians to homes, set traps, or perform exclusion work. We're a resource and referral network that connects homeowners with local pest professionals.
We also don't push recurring contracts, monthly bait plans, or ongoing service subscriptions. The pest professionals in our network are independent operators who provide quotes based on your specific situation. Pricing, scheduling, and service delivery are all handled directly between you and the local professional. We believe this approach gives homeowners better outcomes than one-size-fits-all franchise pricing models.
The Exclusion-First Philosophy
Most rodent problems in residential homes can be resolved for the long term. The key is understanding that rodents enter through specific physical openings in a structure. If you identify and seal those openings, rodents are far less able to return. If you leave them open, new rodents tend to replace removed ones regardless of how much poison or how many traps are deployed.
This is why the pest professionals in our network approach every job the same way: complete inspection first, then targeted removal of existing rodents, then systematic exclusion of every entry point, then sanitation of contaminated areas. Each step is necessary. Skipping inspection or exclusion is why most rodent problems become recurring problems.
