Scratching in the walls?
We seal them out for good.
Traps alone don’t fix a mouse problem – the entry points do. We find where they’re getting in, knock down the population, and seal the gaps so the next ones stay outside. Locally owned, 35+ years of hands-on experience in St. Louis homes, and the first visit is a free on-site inspection.

One mouse is never
just one mouse.
A female mouse can produce up to 35 young in a single year, so by the time you spot one, there are usually more behind the walls. Here’s what to look for – and if any of these sound familiar, the free on-site inspection will tell you how far along it is.
Droppings
Small dark pellets along baseboards, pantry shelves, and under sinks – usually near a food source. Droppings can carry bacteria and viruses, so wear gloves and sanitize the area if you clean them up.
Nests
Bundles of shredded paper, cardboard, cotton, or packing material tucked into dark corners – the backs of cabinets, storage boxes, garage shelving. An accumulation of soft material where it shouldn’t be is a nest.
Gnaw Marks
Chew damage on baseboards, door corners, and stored items. Chewed electrical wiring is the serious one – it’s a real fire risk, and it’s usually happening where you can’t see it.
Damaged Food Packaging
Holes chewed through cereal boxes, bags of flour, pet food bags. Mice go where the food is easy – the pantry and pet food storage are the first places to check.
Noises at Night
Scurrying or scratching behind walls after dark, often moving between floors or up toward the attic. Mice are most active at night, which is why the sounds start when the house goes quiet.
Pets Acting Strange
A cat or dog that keeps pawing, sniffing, or staring at the same spot on a wall or cabinet is usually telling you something. Pets often notice mice well before people do.
Trap. Seal. Keep them out.
Mice control done right is half pest work, half construction detail. A mouse fits through a gap the size of a dime – finding those gaps is where 35 years of experience shows.
Free Inspection
A licensed Titan tech walks your property inside and out – foundation gaps, utility penetrations, garage door seals, attic access. We identify the entry points, nesting areas, and how established the population is before anything else happens.
Same day or next dayCustom Plan + Quote
We show you exactly where they’re getting in and lay out the plan: trapping and baiting placement, which gaps get sealed, and whether ongoing monitoring makes sense for your home. Written quote on the spot, no pressure.
On the spotTrap, Seal & Protect
We knock down the active population and seal the entry points so the problem doesn’t restart in the fall. Optionally, a recurring plan keeps bait stations maintained and the perimeter checked year-round – with free callbacks between visits.
Ongoing protectionEvery October, they head for the warm house. Make sure it isn’t yours.
Rodent pressure in St. Louis spikes when the nights turn cold – mice that spent all summer outside start looking for warmth and food indoors. A one-time visit clears an active problem; the Home Shield plan keeps bait stations maintained and the exclusion work checked before every fall push, with free callbacks between visits if anything gets through.
What people ask about mice control.
I saw one mouse. Do I really have a problem?
Usually, yes. Mice are secretive – if one is bold enough to be seen, the population behind the walls is typically further along than you’d think. A female can produce up to 35 young in a year. The free on-site inspection will tell you what you’re actually dealing with, and if it genuinely is a lone mouse, we’ll tell you that too.
Why not just put out traps myself?
Traps catch mice; they don’t stop mice. As long as the entry points are open, new ones keep coming in – especially every fall. The part that actually ends the problem is finding and sealing the gaps, which takes knowing where St. Louis homes typically leak: utility penetrations, garage door corners, foundation vents, gaps under siding.
Is the bait safe around kids and pets?
Bait is placed in tamper-resistant stations and applied per label directions, positioned where children and pets can’t reach the bait itself. During the inspection we’ll walk you through exactly where everything goes. If you have specific concerns – a dog that chews everything, a curious toddler – tell the tech and we’ll adjust placement or use trapping-only approaches where appropriate.
What about the mess they leave behind?
Droppings and nesting material should be handled carefully – wear gloves, don’t dry-sweep or vacuum droppings (it puts particles in the air), and sanitize the area. For heavier contamination, especially in attics and insulation, we offer cleanup and sanitation as part of our attic restoration service.
Do you handle rats too?
Yes – the inspection, trapping, and exclusion process covers both mice and rats. Rats are stronger chewers and need different bait placement and heavier-duty sealing, so identifying which one you have is part of the first visit.
How fast can you get someone out?
For most pest situations in the St. Louis metro, we can have a technician on-site the same day or the next day, subject to availability. Call (314) 720-8857 for the fastest scheduling – it’s quicker than the contact form.
