How a Scottsdale Rodent Inspection Works
1. We inspect the property. A technician checks the interior and exterior, including common travel paths around doors, windows, vents, the roofline, and landscaping. We look for droppings, gnaw marks, nests, and food or shelter that may be drawing rodents in.
2. We identify what you have. Rats, mice, and roof rats need slightly different plans. Knowing the animal helps us treat the right areas.
3. We explain what we recommend. That may be exterior rodent control, rodent exclusion, or both. You get a custom quote before any work starts.
4. We do the work you approve. For exterior control, we treat and trap around the outside of the home. For exclusion, we close the openings we find, then trap and remove rodents already inside and clean up.
5. We follow up as needed. We check that the plan is working and adjust if we still see activity.

Rats, Mice, and Roof Rats in Scottsdale
Scottsdale homes see a few different rodents. The signs can look similar (droppings, gnaw marks, nighttime noises), but the animals do not all live or travel the same way. We identify what you have during the inspection, then recommend the right mix of exterior rodent control, rodent exclusion, or both.
Roof rats
Roof rats are common in Scottsdale, especially in neighborhoods with mature citrus trees, palms, and thick landscaping. They are good climbers. They travel along walls, fences, and rooflines, and they often nest in trees or dense shrubs before moving into an attic or garage.
You are more likely to notice them in fall, when nights cool and they push indoors looking for shelter. If you hear movement in the attic, find droppings in insulation or along beams, or see a rat on the roof or in a citrus tree, it may be a roof rat.
Rats
Rats are larger than mice, and their droppings are larger too. They can nest in attics, garages, storage rooms, or hidden spots around the outside of the house. They chew on wood, plastic, and wiring, and they can leave a strong odor when they have been in one area for a while.
If you see a rat during the day, or you keep finding large droppings around pet food, bird seed, or stored items, it is time for an inspection. We will look at both the inside and the outside of the home and tell you what we find.
Mice
Mice are smaller and can fit through very tight openings. Their droppings are tiny and often show up in cabinets, pantries, or drawers. You may also find shredded paper, fabric, or insulation where they have started a nest.
Mice breed quickly, so a small problem can grow if it is left alone. If you see droppings in the kitchen or hear light scratching in walls, we can confirm whether it is mice and what to do next.
When rodent activity picks up in Scottsdale
Roof rats stay active in Scottsdale through the warm months. In summer, they often nest in citrus trees, palms, and dense shrubs, then travel along walls and rooflines. In fall, as nights cool, rodents push into attics and garages looking for shelter. That is when many homeowners first hear scratching overhead or find droppings in the garage.
If you are seeing activity in the yard now, or you have already heard movement in the attic, it is worth having us take a look. An inspection will show whether the issue is still around the outside of the home, whether animals are already inside, or both.
Scottsdale Neighborhoods We Serve
We provide rodent control across Scottsdale, including Old Town, McCormick Ranch, Gainey Ranch, Kierland, DC Ranch, Grayhawk, Troon, and the rest of North Scottsdale. We also serve nearby Paradise Valley, Fountain Hills, Cave Creek, Phoenix, and Tempe.
Central neighborhoods and older parts of the city often have mature citrus and thick shrubs close to the house, which gives roof rats food and cover. Farther north, including Grayhawk, Troon, DC Ranch, and the rest of North Scottsdale, homes still see the same pattern around palms, landscaping, and attic access as nights cool. The inspection is always specific to your property, not a one-size plan for the whole city.
If you already know you have activity, or you just want someone to check the attic, roofline, and yard, we will walk the property with you and explain what we find in plain language.
You can also read our Scottsdale pest control page for season-by-season pest notes, including when roof rats are most active. See what neighbors have shared on our reviews page, or learn more about us.
Signs You May Have A Rodent Problem
- Droppings in the garage, attic, cabinets, or along walls
- Gnaw marks on wood, plastic, stored boxes, or wiring
- Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking in the attic, ceiling, or walls, especially at night
- Nests made of shredded paper, fabric, or insulation
- A strong, musty odor in a closed-off area
- A rat or mouse inside the house, on the roof, or in a tree or shrub next to the house
If you notice one or more of these signs, a free inspection will tell you what is going on and what we recommend.
Exterior Rodent Control and Rodent Exclusion
Exterior rodent control
Exterior rodent control is for activity around the outside of your home. It is a separate service from rodent exclusion.
During this work, we inspect the yard, landscaping, foundation, and roofline. We look for droppings, gnaw marks, runways and nesting spots. Then we set a treatment plan that uses traps and bait around the exterior to reduce the rodents living and traveling around your property.
This service deals with the activity we find around the home. It does not close openings in the building. If we also find gaps rodents can use to get inside, we will talk with you about rodent exclusion as its own step. After the inspection, we may recommend exterior rodent control, exclusion, or both, based on what we see.
Rodent exclusion
Rodent exclusion is how we close the gaps rodents use to get into the attic, garage, and walls. It is a different service from exterior rodent control, and it is the right choice when we find openings rodents can use, or when animals are already inside.
On a typical Scottsdale home, we pay close attention to the roofline, vents, door gaps, and any openings around the areas where landscaping or trees sit close to the house. We find and seal openings down to the size of a nickel, using hardware cloth, copper mesh, sealant, sheet metal, door sweeps, and vent covers. Then we trap and remove the rodents already inside, confirm activity is gone, clean up with disinfectant following CDC guidance, sanitize, and take our traps with us.
Our warranty: our rodent exclusion work comes with a 1.5-year warranty on the openings we seal, as long as there is no new damage, no remodeling, and regular home upkeep. Your inspector will walk you through what it covers.
Cleanup is part of the job. We wet droppings with disinfectant before we remove them, following CDC guidance, and we sanitize the area after the rodents are out.
We do not currently offer rodent work on townhomes. Shared walls and attics make it hard to treat and close up one unit on its own.
You can also read our exclusion services page for a broader look at how we close up a home, and our main rodent control page for the valley-wide service overview. For a plain-language look at what affects the cost of this work, see our guide to rodent exclusion cost in Phoenix. The same factors apply to Scottsdale homes: how many openings we find, roof and attic access, how much activity is inside, and how much cleanup is needed.

Scottsdale Rodent Control FAQs
How much does rodent control in Scottsdale cost?
It depends on what we find: how much activity is around the outside of the home, whether rodents are already inside, how many openings need to be closed, roof and attic access, and how much cleanup is needed. Every job starts with a free inspection and a custom quote. For a closer look at exclusion pricing factors, read how much rodent exclusion costs in Phoenix.
What is the difference between exterior rodent control and rodent exclusion?
Exterior rodent control treats activity around the outside of your home, using inspection, traps, and bait to reduce rodents living and traveling around the property. Rodent exclusion finds and seals openings down to the size of a nickel, then traps and removes rodents already inside and cleans up. They are separate services. After the inspection, we may recommend one, the other, or both.
Can I just set traps and wait it out?
Traps can catch a few animals, but they do not deal with the activity around the house, and they do not close the gaps rodents use to get back in. If rodents are already in the attic or walls, traps alone also leave the cleanup undone. An inspection will show you whether you need exterior control, exclusion, or both.
Do you do rodent work on townhomes in Scottsdale?
Not at this time. Shared walls and attics make it hard to treat and close up one unit on its own, so we do not currently offer rodent work for townhomes.
Is there a warranty on rodent work?
Our rodent exclusion work comes with a 1.5-year warranty on the openings we seal, as long as there is no new damage, no remodeling, and regular home upkeep. Your inspector will walk you through what it covers.
