Rodent Control Services in Tucson, AZ

When rodents move in, it doesn’t take long before you start hearing scratching in the attic, finding droppings near the grill, or wondering what’s happening inside your walls. At Rigo Pest Prevention, our Tucson rodent control services are built to handle all pests native to the Sonoran Desert.

Our job is to keep rodents out of your space and give you back your calm, comfortable home. We do that with thorough inspections, exterior-focused rodent treatments, and smart exclusion work that stops activity at the source.

Reliable Rodent Control for Tucson Homes

Rodents are part of life in the desert, but they don’t have to be part of your everyday routine. 

Our rodent control services are built around how Tucson homes are constructed and how rodents behave in this climate. That lets us move quickly from finding the entry points to treating the problem.

When to Call a Pest Control Professional

Rodents reproduce quickly. A small issue today can turn into multiple nests and extensive damage in a short amount of time. In Tucson, local species often build several hidden nesting sites around a single property, making DIY traps and store-bought baits hit-or-miss at best.

Call a professional for rodent control in Tucson if:

• You’re hearing regular nighttime noises in the attic or walls
• You’re finding droppings repeatedly, even after cleaning
• You’ve had wiring, insulation, or stored belongings damaged
• You’ve seen rodents more than once on or near your home

The sooner we inspect and start rodent removal, the easier it is to stop the problem before it grows.

Our Rodent Control Process: What to Expect

We know it helps to understand exactly what will happen when you invite someone onto your property. Our rodent control services follow a clear, step-by-step process tailored to your home.

Step 1 — Thorough Inspection and Assessment

Every visit begins with a careful inspection. Your technician will:

• Walk the exterior of your home, looking for droppings, rub marks, nesting materials, and potential rodent shelter areas
• Check likely entry points around the roofline, vents, utilities, and doors
• Inspect key interior areas if needed, such as the garage, attic, or utility rooms

We’ll point out what we find and explain how rodents are getting in, where they’re nesting, and what needs to be done. You’ll have time to ask questions before any treatment begins.

Step 2 — Strategic Exterior-Focused Treatment

Our approach to rodent control in Tucson starts outside, where rodents are coming from in the first place.

• We use strategically placed bait stations and traps in targeted exterior locations.
• Stations are placed with children and pets in mind, keeping them out of easy reach and away from high-traffic play areas.
• Interior treatments are used only when needed, and only in a controlled, targeted way.

Working from the outside in allows us to reduce rodent pressure around your home and cut off activity before it reaches your living spaces.

Step 3 — Rodent Exclusion and Entry Point Sealing

Removing rodents is only part of the solution. If the holes are still there, new rodents will eventually find their way inside. That’s where exclusion comes in.

Depending on your home, this can include:

• Sealing gaps around utility lines and pipes
• Screening or reinforcing vents and openings
• Addressing roofline and fascia gaps that allow roof rats in
• Improving door sweeps and weatherstripping where needed
• Closing gaps around garage doors and side doors

We’ll let you know what we can handle directly and what may require a contractor, and we’ll prioritize the most likely entry points to keep your home protected.

Step 4 — Follow-Up Visits and Monitoring

After the initial rodent treatment and exclusion work, we return for follow-up visits as needed to:

• Check traps and bait stations
• Evaluate new or ongoing activity
• Confirm that entry points are holding up
• Adjust the strategy if rodents are testing new areas

You’ll always know what we’re seeing and what we recommend next. Our goal is not just to quiet things down for a week, but to keep your home consistently rodent-free.

Step 5 — Our Warranty and Ongoing Support

We stand behind our rodent control services. If activity continues within the warranty period, we come back and address it. We don’t lock you into long-term contracts: if we say we’ll take care of the problem, we follow through.

If something doesn’t feel right after a visit, you can call us and talk to a real person who can help, and you can reach an owner when you need to.

Tucson’s Most Common Rodents

Not all rodents behave the same way. Understanding which species you’re dealing with helps us choose the right rodent control approach.

Pack Rats (Woodrats)

Pack rats are one of the most common rodent issues in and around Tucson homes.

Behavior

• Build large middens (nests) made of sticks, leaves, cactus pads, insulation, and trash
• Love quiet corners near AC units, pool equipment, sheds, and grills
• Commonly chew on car wiring and utility lines, causing costly repairs

You might never see the rat itself, but the nest and damage can be extensive.

Roof Rats

Behavior

• Use citrus trees, vines, fences, and power lines to access roofs
• Slip through small gaps along the roofline or eaves
• Nest in attics, wall voids, and high storage areas

If you hear scratching overhead at night or find droppings in the attic, roof rats are often to blame.

House Mice

House mice may be smaller, but they can still cause big problems.

Behavior

• Squeeze through tiny openings around doors, garage gaps, and utility penetrations
• Nest in garages, pantries, and cluttered storage areas
• Contaminate stored food and sensitive areas with droppings and urine

How Rigo Tailors Treatment for Each Species

Pack rats, roof rats, and mice all require different trap setups, bait placements, and exclusion strategies. During our inspection, we’ll identify which species you’re dealing with and build a rodent control plan around that, instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach.

How Rodents Impact Your Home and Family

Rodents aren’t just an annoyance, they can damage your home, your belongings, and your sense of comfort.

Property & Structural Damage

Rodents chew constantly to keep their teeth worn down. That results in the following damage:

• Damaged electrical wiring in attics, garages, and vehicles
• Chewed insulation, stored items, and holiday decorations
• Damaged HVAC lines and outdoor equipment
• Torn garden irrigation and landscaping features

Addressing rodent control early can help reduce these kinds of repairs.

Health & Sanitation Concerns

Rodents leave droppings, urine, hair, and nesting materials behind as they travel. These can contaminate:

• Pantries and food storage areas
• Sheds and garages where tools, pet food, or supplies are kept
• Attic spaces above bedrooms and living areas

Our goal is to stop the source of the contamination and give you a clear plan for cleaning and prevention.

Peace of Mind & Comfort

Ultimately, rodent control is about comfort and safety. You shouldn’t have to wonder what’s moving around overhead at night or worry about kids playing near sheds, grills, or storage areas. When we finish, we want you to feel confident relaxing in your own home again.
