Why Rodent Control Matters
Rodent infestations in Gloucester County homes create both immediate health risks and long-term structural damage.
Health Risks
Rodent infestations can carry and transmit pathogens such as Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis through droppings, urine, and direct contact. Professional rodent control reduces active harborage and helps limit disease exposure by addressing contamination sources.
Property Damage
Gnawing behavior damages electrical wiring, insulation, and structural wood. The NFPA attributes 20–25% of undetermined house fires to rodent wire damage.
Nests & Odors
Active nests inside walls, ceilings, and crawlspaces produce ammonia-heavy odors and attract secondary pests. Rodent exclusion service locates and removes nesting material before sealing entry points.
Fast Breeders

Why Professional Rodent Control Is Required
DIY rodent control methods rarely eliminate the full infestation. Store-bought traps and bait may reduce visible activity, but do not address hidden nesting sites, structural entry points, or breeding cycles.
Improper bait placement can lead to odor issues from rodents dying inside walls, while incomplete sealing allows new rodents to re-enter within days. Professional
rodent control combines population reduction with targeted exclusion sealing, ensuring both immediate results and long-term prevention.
Signs You May Have A Rodent Infestation
Rodent activity in Mantua homes typically presents through four indicators:
Noises In Walls Or Ceiling
Nocturnal scratching and movement in walls, attics, or crawlspaces indicate Norway rats or roof rats using structural voids as harborage. Domination Extermination's inspection maps these activity corridors to target bait placement accurately.
Droppings In The Home
Mouse droppings measure 3–6 mm; rat droppings 12–18 mm. Spotting either in drawers, behind appliances, or under the sink confirms an active infestation requiring immediate rodent extermination.
Chew Marks & Damage
Gnaw marks on PVC pipe, electrical conduit, food packaging, or structural framing indicate active feeding routes. Fresh gnaw marks are white or light-colored; older marks darken to gray.
Understanding where mice live and nest can help you identify harborage zones before an infestation spreads.

Domination Extermination's rodent control program targets Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus) and house mice (Mus musculus), the two most common species infesting Mantua and Gloucester County homes. Inspection identifies the species, confirms harborage locations, and maps entry points before any treatment begins.
Exclusion sealing is the most effective long-term method for preventing rodent re-entry. Bait and traps reduce the active population, while sealing entry points helps stop future infestations. Every rodent treatment plan combines population reduction with recommended exclusion sealing based on inspection findings.
Our Proven Rodent Control Process
Our four-step process helps you get rid of rodents quickly and keep them away. Here's how our rodent control works
01
Inspection & Identification
Rodent inspection covers the full structure: interior rooms, basement, crawlspace, attic, exterior foundation, utility penetrations, and roofline. Inspection identifies the species (Norway rat vs. house mouse), confirms active harborage, maps entry points ≥ 6 mm, and locates conducive conditions (food sources, water, clutter) driving the infestation.
02
Custom Treatment & Population Reduction
Treatment deploys a combination of snap traps along active runways and tamper-resistant bait stations using EPA-registered rodenticide. Bait matrix and trap type are selected based on species, infestation severity, and the presence of pets or children in the home.
03
Exclusion & Structural Sealing
Rodent exclusion service seals every identified entry point with steel wool, hardware cloth, or expanding foam, depending on the material and gap size. Door sweeps and vent screens are installed where needed. Exclusion converts the population reduction treatment into a long-term solution.
04
Follow-Up Monitoring
Re-inspection at 14 and 30 days checks trap results, confirms bait consumption has stopped, and verifies exclusion seals are intact. If activity persists within 30 days, Domination Extermination re-treats at no charge.
What Types Of Rodents Do We Treat?
Rodent control in Mantua addresses the two species most commonly infesting South Jersey homes:
Norway Rats (Rattus norvegicus)
The most destructive urban rodent. Norway rat control targets basement harborage, foundation burrows, and crawlspace nesting using tamper-resistant bait stations and snap traps placed along active wall runways. Norway rats reach reproductive maturity in 5 weeks, so early intervention is critical to prevent rapid colony expansion.
House Mice (Mus musculus)
House mouse control targets interior harborage in wall voids, cabinet toe-kicks, and drop ceilings. Snap traps baited with peanut butter or nesting material outperform glue boards for interior mouse infestations. Mice enter through gaps as small as 6 mm (¼ inch), and exclusion sealing closes these routes permanently.

FAQs
How quickly can rodent control eliminate an infestation?
Rodent population reduction typically takes 1 to 3 service visits over 2 to 4 weeks. Snap traps and bait stations typically reduce active populations within the first 7 to 14 days. Exclusion sealing, completed during the same visit or as a follow-up, helps prevent re-entry and supports long-term control.
What is the difference between a mouse and a rat infestation?
Norway rats are larger (7 to 10 inches body length), burrow near foundations, and prefer basements and crawlspaces. House mice are smaller (3 to 4 inches), nest inside wall voids and cabinets, and can enter through gaps as small as 6 mm. Inspection confirms which species is present. Treatment methods, trap types, and bait strategies differ accordingly.
Is rodent bait safe for my pets and children?
Tamper-resistant bait stations are designed to restrict access to rodents only and are placed in secure, low-access areas such as crawlspaces, behind appliances, and along foundation walls. All products used are EPA-registered and applied according to labeled residential safety guidelines by a licensed applicator.
Do I need exclusion sealing, or is bait enough?
Exclusion sealing, hardware cloth, steel wool, and expanding foam on all entry points ≥ 6 mm is the most effective method for preventing new rodents from entering. Bait and traps reduce the active rodent population but do not prevent re-entry. Exclusion sealing may be recommended as part of the treatment plan based on inspection findings.
Can rodents come back after treatment?
Rodents can return if entry points are not fully sealed or new gaps develop over time. Domination Extermination’s 30-day re-treatment guarantee covers recurring activity within the warranty period. Ongoing monitoring or maintenance services can help prevent future infestations.
