RODENT & GOPHER TYPES
Rodents and Gophers We Treat from Ventura to Riverside
Not all rodent problems look the same. Stanley identifies the species first, then treats it the right way for your home or business.
Norway Rats
Burrowers by nature, Norway rats stay low, nesting around foundations, debris piles, and landscaping where food is close by.
Roof Rats
LA's most common rat, roof rats are agile climbers that travel power lines and tree branches straight into attics, eaves, and upper floors.
House Mice
Small enough to fit through a dime-sized gap, house mice nest inside walls, cabinets, and storage areas and chew through food packaging and wiring.
Pocket Gophers
Working entirely underground, pocket gophers tunnel beneath lawns and garden beds, chewing roots and irrigation lines and leaving fresh mounds behind.
Where Rodents and Gophers Show Up and What You'll Notice
Rodents and gophers show up where shelter, food, or easy entry points are available. Stanley identifies where they nest, what attracts them, and why they keep coming back.
Attics & Wall Voids
Garages & Storage Areas
Crawl Spaces & Foundations
Yards & Garden Beds
Attics & Wall Voids
Roof edges, vent gaps, and eave openings lead rats straight into attics and wall voids. Listen for scratching or scurrying at night and watch for droppings along beams and insulation.
Garages & Storage Areas
Stored boxes, clutter, and low-traffic areas in garages make them ideal harborage sites for rodents seeking shelter and undisturbed nesting spots.
Crawl Spaces & Foundations
Ground-level entry points, foundation gaps, and crawl spaces are among the most common areas where rodent activity and gopher tunneling are found.
Yards & Garden Beds
Gophers and rodents are frequently found in lawn areas, raised garden beds, and landscaping where soil, plant roots, and food sources are easily accessible.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Your Rodent and Gopher Questions, Answered
How do I get rid of rats and rodents in my home?
Getting rid of rats and rodents requires identifying where they are nesting, locating entry points, and removing the sources that attract them. Rodents are often drawn indoors by access to food, water, and shelter, especially during colder weather or seasonal changes.
While traps and store-bought products may help reduce activity temporarily, professional rodent control services are designed to target the infestation at its source. This may include trapping, exclusion methods, sanitation recommendations, and preventative solutions to help stop rodents from returning.
What are the signs of a rodent infestation?
Common signs of a rodent infestation include droppings, scratching noises in walls or ceilings, gnaw marks, damaged food packaging, nests, and unusual odors. You may also notice grease marks along walls or see rodents active at night.
Because rodents reproduce quickly, identifying and treating the problem early is important to help prevent larger infestations and property damage.
How can I prevent rodents and gophers from coming back?
Preventing rodents and gophers involves reducing access to food, water, and shelter while sealing possible entry points around the property. Keeping food stored properly, removing clutter, and addressing moisture problems can help discourage rodent activity.
For gophers, maintaining landscaping and monitoring for new tunnel activity can help reduce infestations. Ongoing pest control and exclusion services provide additional long-term protection against future problems.
