Rodent Control in Tyler, TX
Finding unwanted rodents on your property can be a frightening—and sometimes repulsive—experience. Rats, mice and other creatures can create many different types of problems, and controlling them on your own can be a difficult task. If you’re in need of rodent control in Tyler, you can rely on the professionals at ABC Home & Commercial Services to quickly locate and remove the rodents in question and help prevent return visitors.
Rodent Control Experts You Can Trust
ABC is happy to help homeowners with any type of problem with rodents on residential properties. Our rodent control specialists know exactly where these pests like to hide and can come up with a comprehensive plan to remove these animals from your property and prevent them from gaining future entry into your home.
We are most commonly called for issues concerning:
- Rats
- Mice
- Squirrels
An ABC specialist will determine where these creatures are living and nesting, then set traps to remove them from your property. When all these creatures are out of your attic, crawl spaces, garage, sheds and living spaces, we will seal off entry points that rodents could use to gain entry to your home in the future and set up barriers in areas that can not be sealed off, including vents and chimneys.
The ABC Process
1. Contact ABC
When you contact us, we will schedule an inspection to get an understanding of the problem. In some cases, we can give you a quote over the phone.
2. Get An Estimate
If you have an inspection, we will send you a custom treatment plan and estimate afterward. Once we get your approval, we will schedule your treatment.
3. Treatment
We will come to your property and treat for pests in common hiding and nesting areas. Over time, you will start seeing less and less pest activity.
4. Prevention
Customers with our ongoing pest management services will receive periodic retreatments to prevent the return of the most common pests in our area.
Rodent Risks
While all unwanted rodents on your property are annoying, rats pose a particular danger because they spoil food and carry a host of serious diseases transmittable to humans. The two kinds of rats you will find in Tyler are roof rats and Norway rats—the same rats usually associated with big-city subway systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I do to prevent a rat or mouse infestation?
The most effective way to prevent a rodent infestation is to clear away any food or water sources that might attract and support them.
But sometimes rodents will take up residence in your attic or behind your walls, despite your best efforts. This is especially common in the winter months, when rodents seek out shelter and warmth.
How do they get in? Usually through hidden cracks and holes which may be hard to locate if you’re not a professional.
Can I just control rodent issues myself with some traps and some bait?
For a lone mouse or a rat, you can use a variety of mousetraps and similar devices. That said, rodents multiply quickly. If you see one mouse, there are likely many others.
Mice are adept at hiding during the day and are more active at night while they search for food. A single mouse can produce a litter of six to eight mice in just three weeks. If you fear you may have a family of mice—you need a professional solution.
Additionally, sealing up entry points and keeping rodents out for good is an involved task better left to professionals.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes! We offer the ABC Guarantee for customers who purchase ongoing or quarterly rodent treatment plans. If needed, you can receive a free re-service any time that you need between service dates.
