Scratching in the attic at night is almost always roof rats working the roofline, while ground-level droppings near the pantry usually mean house mice — our technicians identify the species before setting a single trap.
We trace gnaw marks, grease trails, and droppings back to the actual entry gap before quoting trapping and exclusion work.


Our Rodent Control crew is trained specifically on rat and mouse biology, not general pest spraying.
We keep same-day slots open for active infestations, especially attic and wall-void activity reported at night.
You get one flat quote covering trapping, gap sealing, and a scheduled follow-up — sealing costs are never a surprise add-on.
Our vehicles carry door sweeps, vent screening, and expanding sealant specifically for rodent exclusion work.
We trace grease trails along rafters and gable vents, which is where roof rat activity concentrates.
Norway rats burrow at the foundation and under sheds, so exterior bait stations and burrow treatment are part of the plan.
House mice need only a quarter-inch gap, so mouse jobs focus heavily on sealing utility penetrations and door corners.
Exclusion work covers roofline gaps, vent screens, garage door corners, and utility line penetrations.
Commercial rodent accounts get recurring exterior station checks documented for compliance records.
Rodent nesting material and waste get cleared as part of a full-service attic remediation add-on.

Tell dispatch where the activity is: roofline, attic, or ground level, so the right technician and gear get assigned.
A technician arrives with snap traps, bait stations, and sealing materials already loaded for Murphysboro rodent calls.
We identify the species, trace the entry gap, and quote a flat price covering both trapping and permanent sealing.
Traps and stations go out the same visit, gaps get sealed, and a follow-up confirms activity has stopped for good.
Scratching in the attic at 2am for a week straight — the technician found a roofline gap the size of a golf ball and sealed it same visit.
Our warehouse had rodent activity near the loading dock and Nex Pest Control set up a monitored station program with logs for our next audit.
Knowing the difference between a Norway rat burrow and a roof rat travel path was something we never would have figured out ourselves.

Nex Pest Control dispatches rodent-specialized technicians throughout Murphysboro and nearby communities, with trapping and exclusion gear stocked on every vehicle.

Mouse droppings are small and rod-shaped; rat droppings are noticeably larger, and the entry gap size differs too — mice fit through a quarter-inch, rats need closer to a half-dollar.
Trapping removes the current rodents, but sealing the gap is what prevents the next one from moving in — both steps matter.
Yes — station placement is planned around pets and kids, and we'll walk you through exactly where everything goes.
Initial trapping shows results within days, with full clearance usually confirmed by the second visit.
We can document damage for your records and offer attic sanitation as an add-on service after removal is confirmed.
We set up recurring monitoring visits for warehouses, restaurants, and retail spaces on a schedule that fits your operation.
