Rats and mice may invade any home, business or apartment building, both in the city or in the country. Rodents have adapted to live close to humans and forage off garbage, refuse or leftover food, so they can flourish in nearly any environment. Stewart Termite & Pest Control implements effective rodent control and removal services that target rat and mice populations living in or around your home. Our rat & mice infestation extermination programs eradicate these pests quickly and effectively.
Our Unique Approach To Rodent Trapping & Removal Service
Home, business or apartment owners that find rats or mice in their building often use traps to stop the problem. When rats or mice nests become entrenched in your building, however, the adults will continue to multiply faster than you can catch them. Our experts will provide the proper service and know-how to eliminate the active issues and control the population around the structure and from inside your building. With proper maintenance, their nests gone and leftover food, garbage or refuse removed, the rodents will not return.
1. RODENT INSPECTION
We’ll start by performing a thorough inspection in and around your home. During this time, we will identify the species, areas of activity, potential entry points, and attractants.
2. RODENT SANITATION
After the site inspection, we’ll provide you with detailed sanitation guidelines and recommendations. This checklist will help you avoid future rodent infestations by showing you how to eliminate attractants and maintain a clean, sanitary environment.
3. RODENT BAITS & TRAPS
Our program includes a combination of rodent stations and trap placements throughout the inside of your home as well as the exterior for the highest rate of success.
Outside The Home
Exterior Rodent Stations
Rodent stations are placed around the outside of the structure to target rats and mice where they travel and feed, helping to stop new activity before it reaches the inside of your home.
Inside The Home
Interior Trap Placements
Traps are placed inside the home in the areas of activity found during the inspection to remove the rodents that are already living in your walls, basement, attic, or other hidden spaces.
4. RODENT MONITORING
After we place the baits and set the traps, we’ll return every two or three weeks for the first three months to ensure your rodent control program’s effectiveness and make adjustments as needed.
5. RODENT CONTROL
If you are noticing rats, mice, moles, voles or other rodents around your home, there are likely many others that remain hidden. Let Stewart Termite & Pest Control find and remove the rodents safely to avoid injury. Call today412-822-7610 to make an appointment.

Know Your Rodents
Rats And Mice In Pittsburgh Homes
The two rodents most often found inside homes and businesses in the Pittsburgh area are the house mouse and the Norway rat. House mice are small, can squeeze through openings about the size of a dime, and usually nest inside walls, cabinets, and stored boxes close to a food source.
Norway rats are much larger and tend to burrow in the soil along foundations, under decks, and near garbage, then travel inside through gaps at ground level. Both breed quickly, which is why a few sightings often point to a larger population. Learn more about how fast mice reproduce.
Warning Signs Of A Rodent Problem
Rats and mice are most active at night and stay out of sight, so most property owners notice the signs they leave behind before they ever see a rodent.
Kitchen Activity
Rodents searching counters, shelves, and pantries for food.
Feeding Outside
Rats foraging on decks and patios for scraps and leftover food.
Seeking Shelter
Mice looking for warmth and shelter as the weather turns cold.
Droppings along walls, in cabinets and drawers, or near stored food
Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood, wiring, and plastic
Scratching sounds in the walls, ceilings, or attic at night
Nesting material such as shredded paper, fabric, or insulation
Burrows in the soil along the foundation, under decks, or near sheds
Prevention
What Attracts Rodents To Your Property
Rodents move in where they can find food, water, and shelter, and they look for these more often as the weather turns cold. Removing these attractants is a big part of the sanitation guidelines we provide after your inspection. Read more about what attracts mice to homes during Pittsburgh winters.
Garbage and refuse left uncovered
Pet food and bird seed left out
Leftover food and crumbs
Clutter and stored boxes
Gaps around pipes and utility lines
Firewood and debris near the home
Why Professional Rodent Control Is Important
When rat or mice nests become entrenched in your building, the adults will continue to multiply faster than store bought traps can catch them.
Finds The Source
A thorough inspection identifies the species, areas of activity, entry points, and attractants so the problem is treated where it starts.
Controls The Population
Rodent stations and traps placed inside and outside your home work together to control the population around the structure and from inside.
Follows Up
Return visits every two to three weeks for the first three months allow us to check results and make adjustments as needed.

To get rid of rodents, it’s important to determine the exact species you’re dealing with. For example, if you have rats and select mice traps, the trapping mechanism isn’t large enough for the rats. Conversely, if you have mice and choose rat traps, the traps most likely won’t trigger for a mouse. Plus, each species behaves differently. Our highly-trained technicians know exactly where to look and what to look for. Understanding the differences between species increases our rodent program’s success, which is what separates us from the competition.
A lot of homeowners try do-it-yourself or over-the-counter solutions. The problem with this approach is it sometimes causes rodents to spread around your house, plus it’s often not enough to deal with large populations. Here at Stewart Termite & Pest Control, our technicians are trained to diagnose the problem, think outside of the box, and come up with solutions that make sense for you.

Fantastic work! He came super fast, worked with my schedule, took him 15 minutes, and got rid of the yellow jackets that made the arch of the kitchen door their home. The best part is that it was so so affordable, and had a guarantee in case we needed additional time. It couldn’t be any better!– Pat P. in Pittsburgh, PA
Fantastic company! My family has used them for the last five years for a variety of pest-related issues at our house in the South Hills of Pittsburgh, and Stewart always had the lowest prices and best service. We will be using them again when we move into our new home and recommending them far and wide. A++!– Dave K. in Pittsburgh, PA
I hired Greg to deal with a ground yellow jacket nest. He came when he said he would, was very professional, and dealt with the nest quickly and effectively. He’ll definitely be at the top of my list the next time I have any sort of yellow jacket or other pest issues. Thanks again!– Tell V. in Pittsburgh, PA
