Signs You May Need Rodent Pest Control

Watch for these signs of a rodent infestation in your home or business:

  • Torn or chewed packaging and paper
  • Gnaw marks on wood, plastic, or wires
  • Grease trails or dark rub marks along walls
  • Small droppings or scattered nesting materials
  • Scratching sounds in walls or attics

If you see one rat, there are likely more nearby. Rats reproduce quickly. In fact, roof rats can have up to 20 babies in a single litter every few weeks!

Frequently Asked Rodent Control Questions

  • Most rodent control services range from a few hundred dollars to over a thousand, depending on the size of the infestation and the work needed. A free inspection is the best way to get an accurate price.

  • Pricing varies by home size, rodent activity, and whether exclusion is required. Most Sacramento homeowners fall within a moderate price range, provided after inspection.

  • For active infestations, service may be needed weekly until activity stops. For prevention, monthly or bi-monthly maintenance is typically enough.

  • Common signs include droppings, scratching noises, gnaw marks, shredded materials, and greasy rub marks along walls.

  • Most infestations begin improving within the first visit. Full elimination depends on how quickly rodents are trapped and all entry points are sealed.

  • DIY traps may catch a few rodents, but they rarely eliminate the source. Professional rodent control finds entry points, removes all activity, and prevents the return.

  • Rodent control removes existing rodents. Exclusion seals all entry points to keep new rodents from getting in. Both are usually needed for long-term success.

MORE than satisfied with Next Level as our new Pest Control company!

Jesusa N

Excellent Service

I am able to let the staff know the areas of concern inside & outside of my properties. The flying insects inside my pantry are gone which is the most concern I have. The staff is very professional. The price monthly is reasonable. Curtis responded to my call right away when I was shopping for pest control service. Overall I am very satisfied. I recommend this company to anyone needing the service.”

Curtis was a blessing and a joy to chat with

He was beyond informative about everything he was doing. I’m a person that always wants to know the “why” and he described everything before I even had to ask the question. Thank you, Curtis and Next Level. I look forward to your next visit!

We Are Pest-Free

Enjoying our pest free home thanks to Next Level Pest Control! These guys are like ninjas - they come & go without me seeing them (except for occasional check-ins to make sure all is good!) but I know they’ve been here because our home is free of pests. Highly recommend!”

Dealing with Next Level Pest Control was awesome

They are very professional and took the time to fully explain their services. Their services are priced very well. They sprayed both my front and backyards for fleas and sprayed the perimeter of the house for other insects as well. I signed up for services every 2 months. I definitely recommend them

I called several companies but Next Level was a stand out

If you’re here pulling your hair out reading reviews and calling around to figure out which Pest Control company to go with, I’ve done that work and can help you out: go with Next Level! We moved to a new house and saw at least 10 black widows outside. Feeling nervous because we have a cat who is bug obsessed, I called several companies but Next Level was a stand out. Curtis was really easy to talk to on the phone, patiently answered all my questions and explained the process...

Fallon S.

I definitely recommend them!

With summer here, ants started trying to make their way inside, but Ryan came out and took care of the problem. He was professional, thorough, and reassuring, letting me know the issue would be resolved. I also appreciated that he scheduled a follow-up for next week to make sure everything is under control. Excellent service... I definitely recommend them!

Pete Smith

Next Level Pest Control is far better than any company

John did an amazing job! I’ve Used other Pest Control companies in the past, but Next Level Pest Control is far better than any company I’ve ever used and their prices are very reasonable. You definitely wanna hire this company and ask for John.
