Not sure what you're dealing with? Compare the signs in our rat control and mouse control guides.
Rats and mice are nocturnal. Scampering in your attic, walls, or ceiling after dark means rodents have found a way in.
Dark droppings near food, under sinks, or in drawers are the most common sign. Rat droppings are about 1/2 inch; mouse droppings are rice-sized.
Rodents chew constantly to wear down their teeth. Chewed wiring is a recognized fire risk, so damaged wires are worth checking.
Concentrated rodent urine has a sharp, ammonia-like odor. Often detectable in walls, attics, or under cabinets where rodents nest.
Dogs and cats often detect rodents before you do. If your pet is suddenly focused on walls, ceilings, or floorboards, trust the signal.
Rats and mice are usually most active after dark, so seeing one in daylight can be a sign the population is competing for food and space. It is a good prompt to schedule an inspection.
Rodents in Irving reproduce quickly, and entry points left open let more get in over time. The sooner an inspection finds and seals them, the less there is to clean up later.
Professional inspection, treatment, and exclusion. Every service in the Irving area follows the same core steps: inspect to find how rodents are getting in, remove the active population, and seal the entry points.

Rodent pressure comes down to observable conditions at a property — landscaping, the age and construction of the building, and nearby food, water, and shelter. Here's what to look for around Irving homes and what to ask about during an inspection.
Mature planned communities like Valley Ranch, Hackberry Creek, and Las Colinas. Established landscaping gives roof rats access, and complex or tile rooflines have more transition points at flashing and vents. Inspect roofline transitions.
Older housing in South Irving and the Heritage District. Check plumbing entries, foundation gaps, and any changes made during remodeling. Evidence at those openings should determine the repair scope, not proximity to SH-183 or another commercial corridor.
The DFW Airport and Las Colinas office corridor. For properties with food service or storage, inspect loading doors, utility entries, and waste-container closures. For a home, trace signs at the home itself rather than infer a source from nearby hotels or restaurants.
West Irving near the Trinity River and Mountain Creek Lake. Inspect low entry points, garage seals, and detached storage where present. Document signs at the structure; proximity to water, flooding, or a cold snap does not establish rodent activity there.
Local Rodent Control Guide
Irving mixes Las Colinas commercial density, canals and water features, older South Irving homes, and mature neighborhoods. Rat and mouse entry points differ by property, so treatment should follow an inspection.
Near restaurants, office parks, water features, dumpsters, and service areas, exterior rats are possible. Inspection should check ground-level burrows, utility penetrations, loading areas, drainage, and roofline access where trees are present.
Older homes near the Heritage District and South Irving often have garage gaps, crawl-space or foundation openings, aging seals, and utility penetrations. Mice use tiny openings and can nest in walls or kitchen-adjacent voids.
Where Las Colinas canals, drainage routes, golf-course edges, or mature landscaping create outdoor habitat, control should combine exclusion with exterior attractant and travel-route reduction.
Rodent control pricing in Irving depends on your specific situation. Every inspection is free, and you'll receive a written quote before any work begins.

Base the plan on the property: accessible food or waste, damaged door seals, roof gaps, and utility openings. Shared commercial or residential buildings may require coordinated access. A restaurant district or water feature alone does not establish rodent activity.
These areas have restaurants, dumpsters, loading areas, and storage zones, so exterior routes and foundation gaps are worth inspecting and sealing. Being near a commercial zone is not itself an infestation; treatment follows confirmed signs at the building.
Attics, garages, foundations, rooflines, utility penetrations, dumpsters, water features, landscaping, and any nearby drainage or commercial exposure.
Pricing depends on the size of the problem, how many entry points need sealing, and whether any cleanup is required. The inspection is free, and you'll get a written quote before any work begins, so you can review the price before committing.
Same-day and next-day appointments are often available, and inspections and quotes are free. Call to confirm what's open for your address — availability varies by day and location.
A humid subtropical climate lets rats and mice stay active year-round, and seasonal weather shifts can push outdoor rodents toward buildings looking for food, water, and shelter. Because rodents get in through gaps in the building envelope, sealing those entry points (exclusion) is the part of the job that keeps them from coming back. Which species you're dealing with is confirmed on-site during the inspection.
Rodent control is about managing risk, not a blanket guarantee of safety. Professionals reduce exposure by using tamper-resistant bait stations placed out of reach, following the product label, and controlling access to materials. Rodenticides are toxic to pets and people if misused, so ask your provider how and where they'll place any products and what precautions apply to your home.
It depends on how established the infestation is, how many entry points need sealing, and whether cleanup is needed. Trapping and exclusion usually happen across a few visits, and follow-up checks whether activity has stopped. Your provider can give a realistic timeline for your home after the inspection.
