What Is the Huntsman Rodent Guard Program, and How Does It Work?
An inside look at Cincinnati's comprehensive, rodenticide-free approach to mouse and rat control.
If you've ever hired a pest control company to address mice in your home, only to discover more mice a few months later, you probably understand the frustration of conventional rodent control.
A technician arrives, places a few bait stations around your property, and returns periodically to replenish the poison. Rodent activity may decrease for a while, but eventually you hear scratching in the ceiling again, find droppings beneath the kitchen sink, or discover a mouse running across the garage floor.
The problem wasn't necessarily that the bait didn't work.
The problem is that killing rodents and solving a rodent infestation are two very different things.
At Huntsman Wildlife, we developed our Rodent Guard Program to address that distinction.
Built upon more than 20 years of combined experience in structural pest control and nuisance wildlife management, Rodent Guard is a comprehensive, rodenticide-free approach to eliminating existing rodent infestations, securing structures against future intrusion, and managing the ongoing rodent pressures that affect Cincinnati-area properties.
It isn't a quick fix. It isn't the cheapest approach to rodent control. And it isn't designed to be.
It's designed to solve problems and provide long-term protection.
Why We Created Rodent Guard
During my years working in structural pest control and wildlife management, I began recognizing a recurring problem with conventional rodent baiting programs.
Rodenticides could kill mice and rats, but they didn't necessarily address why those animals were entering a structure in the first place.
If a home had a gap around a utility line, a deteriorated garage door seal, or an opening along the foundation, killing the rodents already inside didn't correct that vulnerability.
New rodents could simply follow the same pathways.
I also saw how frequently rodent control programs were designed around a particular price point rather than the work necessary to achieve lasting results.
There's nothing inherently wrong with offering an affordable service. But when price becomes the primary consideration, technician time, quality of materials, and the scope of exclusion work can become secondary concerns.
Rodent Guard was created with a different philosophy:
Determine what the property needs to resolve its rodent problem, then design the service around those needs.
That means investing more time in trapping, performing detailed structural exclusion, and continuing to protect the property after the initial infestation has been resolved.
Why Rodent Guard Uses No Rodenticides, Poisons, or Toxic Baits
One of the most important differences between Rodent Guard and many conventional pest control programs is what we deliberately leave out.
Rodent Guard uses no rodenticides, toxic baits, or chemical poisons. Period.
Instead, our technicians rely on mechanical trapping, structural exclusion, environmental evaluation, and ongoing monitoring.
We made this decision for several reasons.
Protecting children and pets: Rodenticides can present serious poisoning hazards when accidentally accessed or ingested. By eliminating toxic baits from our program, we eliminate that particular exposure risk from the work we perform.
Protecting wildlife: Predators and scavengers can be exposed to certain rodenticides through contaminated prey. Owls, hawks, foxes, and other wildlife may be affected by secondary poisoning.
Avoiding inaccessible carcasses: Rodents that consume poison may die inside walls, beneath cabinets, or in attic insulation, where their remains can create unpleasant odors and sanitation concerns.
Addressing the actual problem: Poisoning rodents does nothing to repair the openings that allowed them to enter the structure.
Mechanical trapping is not entirely without risk, which is why our technicians use carefully selected equipment, protective trapping stations, and established placement protocols.
But we believe protecting your home from rodents shouldn't require introducing rodent poisons into your family's environment.
No poisons. No toxic baits. No rodenticides. Just trained technicians, mechanical trapping, and structural protection.
How the Initial Rodent Guard Program Works
The initial Rodent Guard service is designed as an intensive 28-day program consisting of four weekly visits.
During this phase, our technicians work to remove rodents from the interior of the structure, reduce activity around the exterior, and systematically secure identified access points.
The sequence matters.
Simply sealing every opening immediately can disrupt established rodent behavior, potentially causing animals to retreat into other portions of the home or attempt to create new access routes.
Instead, we use rodent behavior to our advantage.
Week One: Establishing the Trapping Program
During the first service, our technician establishes the initial trapping program throughout the property.
No exclusion work is performed during this visit.
This is intentional.
Rodents develop established travel routes between food sources, shelter, nesting areas, and structural openings. The evidence they leave behind helps our technicians determine where trapping will be most effective.
Closing openings prematurely can change those travel patterns.
We want to remove the rodents using their existing habits before significantly changing their environment.
Interior Trapping
Interior traps are placed wherever evidence indicates current rodent activity.
Depending on the property, that may include:
Attics and insulation spaces
Basements and crawlspaces
Kitchens and pantries
Laundry rooms
Garages
Utility and mechanical rooms
Other areas where rodents are traveling, feeding, or nesting
With the exception of attic placements, our interior traps are housed inside child- and pet-resistant containment stations.
These stations help prevent curious fingers, paws, and noses from contacting the trapping mechanisms. They also conceal captured rodents, reducing the likelihood that a client encounters an unpleasant scene.
We use food-based attractants, frequently containing nuts or nut-derived ingredients. Because of this, we ask clients about household allergies before beginning service.
Exterior Trapping
Exterior trapping is equally strategic.
Rather than placing stations at arbitrary intervals around the foundation, our technicians identify areas where rodents are traveling, feeding, burrowing, or approaching the structure.
Common locations include landscaping beds, gardens, burrow entrances, utility penetrations, foundation vents, weep holes, garage doors, and pedestrian entrances.
During cooler months, technicians may also target protected areas around mechanical equipment and sources of warmth, including dryer exhausts, fireplace vents, HVAC equipment, and pool mechanical systems.
Exterior stations incorporate protective internal baffles designed to restrict access to trapping equipment.
How Many Traps Are Installed?
There is no predetermined number.
Each Rodent Guard technician completes more than 400 hours of classroom and field training before independently servicing Rodent Guard clients.
That training helps technicians determine the appropriate quantity and placement of equipment based on actual conditions.
A typical suburban property might receive approximately a dozen interior traps and four to eight exterior trapping stations.
Some interior stations accommodate two traps, while exterior stations may contain three.
That provides considerable trapping capacity, but the objective isn't to catch as many rodents as possible.
The objective is to eliminate the interior infestation.
What Should Clients Expect During the First Week?
Clients may begin noticing fewer sightings, less scratching or movement in walls and ceilings, and reduced evidence of fresh droppings.
We ask that trapping stations remain exactly where the technician placed them.
Moving a baited station into an area without established rodent activity could inadvertently encourage rodents to investigate a new part of the home.
If a station needs to be relocated, contact our office so the technician can determine a suitable alternative.
Clients can also improve trapping effectiveness by eliminating competing food sources, including accessible grains, fruit, seeds, and pet food. We recommend avoiding free-feeding pets during the initial trapping phase.
All traps are scheduled for weekly servicing. If a captured rodent creates an unpleasant odor between appointments, clients can contact Huntsman to arrange removal of the affected trap at no additional charge.
Week Two: Evaluating Activity and Beginning Exclusion
The second visit begins with servicing all trapping equipment.
Our technician removes captured rodents, resets and rebaits traps, and documents capture counts.
Just as importantly, the technician interviews the client.
Have you heard scratching in the attic? Have you noticed fresh droppings? Are there areas where activity seems to have stopped?
Combining client observations with actual trapping results allows the technician to refine the strategy.
Traps may be relocated from areas showing no activity to locations where captures or other evidence indicate continuing rodent pressure.
Once the trapping equipment has been serviced, structural exclusion work begins in areas without current rodent activity.
Why We Don't Seal Everything Immediately
Imagine discovering that mice are entering through a utility opening near the garage.
It might seem logical to immediately seal that opening.
But if rodents are still actively using that area, closing it prematurely can cause them to search for another route.
And mice and rats are remarkably capable of creating new openings.
As I like to say, mice and rats are born with the keys to every home in Cincinnati. Unfortunately, those keys are called teeth.
Rodents can gnaw through vulnerable building materials, and mice can squeeze through openings approximately the diameter of a No. 2 pencil.
That's why we progressively secure areas where activity has stopped while continuing to trap in areas where rodents remain active.
What Does Exclusion Work Include?
Depending on the property, our technicians may install:
Protective guards in brick weep holes
Rodent Shield or Xcluder exclusion materials
Protection around utility penetrations
Sealing along vulnerable foundation transitions
Appropriate barriers around doorways and other structural openings
The initial inspection report provides the framework for this work.
However, our Rodent Guard technicians continue evaluating the structure and may discover additional vulnerabilities during service.
The initial Rodent Guard service fee includes the necessary trapping and exclusion work throughout the initial phase.
If our technician identifies additional exclusion needs during that phase, those are addressed without surprising the client with additional charges.
The price quoted for the initial program is the price the client pays.
The second service commonly requires approximately one to two hours, depending on the property and the work involved.
Week Three: Expanding Protection as Activity Declines
By the third week, clients typically begin observing a dramatic decrease in rodent activity.
Fewer sightings, less noise, and reduced evidence of fresh droppings are encouraging signs.
These observations are typically supported by declining capture counts documented by our technicians.
Together, the client's experience and the technician's trapping records help determine how the program is progressing.
The third visit follows the same general process as Week Two.
Traps are inspected, serviced, and repositioned as needed. The technician interviews the client and evaluates remaining activity.
As rodent pressure decreases in additional portions of the structure, exclusion work expands.
However, if rodents remain active in a particular area, trapping continues.
We don't seal an opening simply because the calendar says it's Week Three.
We seal openings when the evidence indicates it's appropriate to do so.
Initial Program Payment Schedule
The initial Rodent Guard service fee is divided into two payments.
The first 50% is paid when the client accepts the estimate and enrolls in the program.
The remaining 50% is charged during the third week of service.
Week Four: Confirming Results and Completing the Initial Program
The fourth week is an important milestone, but it isn't necessarily the finish line.
At this point, one of two things happens.
Scenario A: The Interior Infestation Has Been Resolved
If the client is no longer experiencing rodent activity and the technician's findings support that conclusion, the technician completes the remaining exclusion work.
Interior and exterior trapping stations used during the initial phase are removed.
The goal is to leave the home with its interior rodent infestation resolved and identified structural access points secured.
We use three standards to determine whether the initial interior problem has been resolved:
Zero interior captures. Zero evidence. Zero activity.
When those conditions have been met and the exclusion work is complete, the property is ready to transition into ongoing Rodent Guard maintenance.
Scenario B: Interior Rodent Activity Continues
Sometimes a property needs additional time.
If interior traps continue capturing rodents, or the client reports continuing evidence of activity, we don't simply remove our equipment and declare the program finished.
Instead, the technician continues trapping, evaluating, and performing exclusion work where appropriate.
Additional weekly services required to resolve the initial interior infestation are provided at no additional charge.
We've had properties that required more than the planned four weeks.
One client in Indian Hill, for example, required seven weeks of initial service because of the property's size, history of rodent problems, and other contributing conditions.
That's what the property needed, so that's what we provided.
The initial program is designed around four weeks, but we don't abandon an unresolved infestation because an arbitrary deadline has passed.
Why Exterior Captures Don't Determine Completion
This is an important distinction.
We cannot make the outdoors a mouse-free environment.
Rodents are naturally present in the landscape, and their populations are influenced by vegetation, food sources, neighboring properties, and seasonal conditions.
Depending on the property's surrounding environment, exterior traps may continue capturing rodents even after the interior infestation has been eliminated.
That's expected.
Continued exterior captures do not, by themselves, mean the initial Rodent Guard program has failed or needs to be extended.
Our objective is to resolve the interior infestation and secure the structure against future intrusion.
Understanding Rodent Pressure: Why a Mouse-Free Home Still Needs Protection
To understand why Rodent Guard includes ongoing maintenance, it helps to think about something familiar to many Cincinnati property owners: basement water intrusion.
Rodent Pressure Is Like Hydrostatic Pressure
Some homes require sump pumps because groundwater continually exerts pressure against basement walls and foundation floors.
When that pressure becomes significant enough, water can find its way through cracks, gaps, and other vulnerabilities.
Rodent pressure works in a similar way.
A home may be surrounded by a relatively small rodent population during one season and experience considerably greater activity during another.
As outdoor rodent populations increase, animals search for food, shelter, nesting locations, and new territory.
That activity increases the likelihood that rodents will encounter and exploit vulnerabilities around the structure.
Structural exclusion provides the barrier. Exterior trapping helps manage the pressure against that barrier.
A sump pump isn't necessarily unnecessary because the basement has been dry for several months.
Likewise, a quiet, mouse-free home doesn't mean the surrounding environment has stopped producing rodents.
Why We Focus on the Outside of the Home
Clients occasionally ask us to seal openings beneath kitchen sinks, behind appliances, or inside cabinets.
We understand the reasoning. Those are often the places where people discover rodent activity.
But imagine trying to waterproof a block of Swiss cheese.
There are holes throughout the entire block.
Would you attempt to individually fill every internal hole, or would you focus on preventing water from entering the block in the first place?
A home is similar.
Behind its finished walls, floors, cabinets, and ceilings are countless penetrations, cavities, and interconnected spaces.
Attempting to seal every internal opening isn't a practical substitute for securing the exterior building envelope.
While targeted interior exclusion may sometimes be appropriate, our primary strategy is to identify and address how rodents enter the structure.
We want to keep mice out of the house, not simply prevent them from reaching one particular cabinet.
How Rodent Guard Maintenance Works
Once the initial infestation has been resolved, the property transitions into ongoing maintenance.
The program includes two scheduled service visits each month, generally spaced approximately seven days apart.
These visits are deliberately structured around rodent behavior, reproduction, trapping effectiveness, and the practical realities of servicing captured animals.
Monthly Visit One: Deploy, Inspect, and Protect
During the first monthly maintenance visit, the technician evaluates the property for current or anticipated rodent activity.
Exterior trapping stations are strategically positioned in areas where rodents are likely to travel, feed, shelter, or burrow.
These locations aren't necessarily limited to the foundation.
Depending on the property, stations may be placed near:
Gardens and landscaping beds
Mulch beds and established burrows
Storage sheds
Pool mechanical equipment
Fruit- and seed-producing trees
Fence lines and property boundaries
Areas influenced by neighboring wildlife feeders
Other locations showing evidence of rodent activity
The technician also inspects previously completed exclusion work.
Has a garage door seal deteriorated? Did a contractor install a new utility line without properly sealing the opening? Has landscaping equipment damaged an exterior vent?
These things happen.
A home isn't a static object. It changes over time.
That's why Rodent Guard doesn't simply protect the house as it existed when we first inspected it.
It helps protect the house as it exists today.
Monthly Visit Two: Evaluate, Remove, and Reinspect
Approximately seven days later, the technician returns.
Exterior trapping stations are inspected, capture counts are documented, and the stations are removed from the property.
The technician also performs another structural inspection, evaluating exclusion integrity and identifying new vulnerabilities.
Afterward, the property remains without the temporary trapping stations until the next monthly trapping cycle.
Why We Remove the Trapping Stations
This is one of the more unusual aspects of Rodent Guard.
Our exterior stations are black and feature openings designed to resemble potential rodent burrows.
Mice are naturally curious animals that investigate unfamiliar openings, particularly when food odors are present.
By introducing stations for a defined trapping period, removing them, and then returning them during the next cycle, we create recurring opportunities to attract rodents to the equipment.
Our scheduling also considers mouse reproductive behavior, including the relatively short gestation period that allows populations to increase quickly under favorable conditions.
The timing isn't intended to guarantee that every potentially pregnant mouse will be captured. Rather, it's one part of a broader population-management strategy.
We originally experimented with longer trapping windows, including ten-day periods.
However, captured rodents remaining in exterior stations during hot summer weather could create unpleasant odors, particularly when stations were located near outdoor living areas.
We found that shortening the trapping window to approximately seven days helped reduce those concerns while maintaining the results we wanted.
The program's schedule reflects both rodent behavior and our practical experience servicing Cincinnati-area properties.
Ongoing Exclusion Work Is Included
Rodent Guard maintenance includes more than trapping.
During each maintenance visit, our technicians can address up to three qualifying exclusion locations, each measuring no more than ½ inch wide and 3 inches long, as part of the program's included service.
With two maintenance visits each month, that's up to six qualifying exclusion locations per month when needed.
Larger or more involved repairs may require additional materials and labor charges. However, our technicians will explain the findings and obtain the client's approval before performing any work that would generate additional charges.
No surprise repairs. No unexpected charges. Just proactive protection.
Every Maintenance Visit Follows a 17-Point Checklist
Consistency matters.
Every Rodent Guard maintenance service follows a standardized 17-point checklist covering:
Client interview and observations
Trapping equipment placement and servicing
Exclusion inspection and verification
Environmental factors influencing rodent activity
End-of-service communication
The completed checklist is submitted to Huntsman leadership for quality oversight.
This process helps ensure that clients receive a consistent level of attention while still allowing technicians to adapt their work to each property's unique conditions.
Why Rodent Pressure Changes Throughout the Year
One of the biggest misconceptions about rodent problems is that they are exclusively a fall or winter concern.
In reality, rodent pressure changes throughout the year.
And those changes aren't driven by temperature alone.
Food availability, vegetation, breeding activity, neighboring properties, and household behavior all influence where rodents travel and what attracts them.
Spring: Emerging Vegetation and New Food Sources
As plants begin growing and outdoor food sources become more available, rodent movement and feeding patterns can change.
Flowering ornamentals, early fruit production, and emerging vegetation may create new feeding and shelter opportunities.
A property surrounded by ornamental plantings may experience different rodent pressures from a home bordered by open lawn.
Summer: Grills, Gardens, and Open Doors
Summer introduces a different set of challenges.
Food residue in outdoor grills, backyard dining, vegetable gardens, and improperly stored food can attract rodents.
Busy households also tend to leave garage doors open more frequently.
Children move in and out of the house. Families work in the yard. Garage doors remain open while people complete projects.
These activities can create opportunities for rodents to enter even well-maintained structures.
Fall: Disappearing Cover and Seasonal Attractants
Fall can create dramatic changes in rodent behavior.
When gardens are deadheaded, vegetation dies back, or established food sources disappear, rodents may begin exploring new areas.
At the same time, seed- and nut-producing trees may provide abundant seasonal food.
Halloween decorations can introduce additional problems.
Pumpkins, straw bales, decorative corn, and other organic materials may attract or shelter rodents. Spilled candy and food debris can provide additional food sources.
A home that experienced little activity throughout the summer may suddenly face increased rodent pressure.
Winter: Seeking Shelter and Protected Spaces
As outdoor conditions change, protected areas around buildings can become increasingly attractive.
Garages, crawlspaces, attics, mechanical spaces, and sheltered structural cavities may provide favorable conditions for rodents.
Homes with nearby food sources or accessible structural openings may experience continued pressure even during cold weather.
The Problem With Cancelling During a Quiet Season
Imagine enrolling in Rodent Guard during spring.
The initial infestation is resolved, exclusion work is completed, and your home remains quiet throughout the summer.
You stop hearing scratching. You stop finding droppings. Exterior captures become infrequent.
Everything seems fine.
You begin wondering whether you still need the program.
But just because rodent pressure is low today doesn't mean it will remain low next month.
A nearby garden gets cleared. Acorns begin falling. A neighbor installs new bird feeders. Holiday decorations create new food sources. A garage door seal becomes damaged.
Suddenly, your property faces conditions that didn't exist when you decided to cancel.
The absence of rodent activity today doesn't tell us what your property will experience tomorrow.
The Rodent Guard Promise: Priority When You Need Us Most
There's a reason we call it Rodent Guard, not Rodent Free.
No responsible wildlife control company can promise that another mouse will never find its way into your home.
Doors get left open. Structures change. Contractors create new penetrations. Rodents can occasionally exploit vulnerabilities even after extensive exclusion work.
But here's what we can promise:
If you're an active Rodent Guard maintenance client and discover mice or rats inside your home, your problem becomes our highest scheduling and response priority.
We'll return to establish interior trapping and continue working until the infestation is resolved, at no additional chargefor that interior trapping service.
You won't have to purchase another initial trapping program simply because a mouse found its way inside.
Our technicians will evaluate the activity, identify contributing conditions, and address qualifying exclusion needs under the program's maintenance provisions. Any larger repairs requiring additional charges will be explained and approved before work begins.
Rodent Guard isn't a guarantee that rodents will never return.
It's a guarantee that when they do, you're not facing the problem alone.
Rodent Guard Is Designed to Look Like You No Longer Need It
This might sound strange coming from the company providing the service, but one of the biggest challenges with successful preventative maintenance is that its value can become difficult to see.
When everything is working, nothing appears to be happening.
There are no mice running across the kitchen floor.
There are no scratching noises keeping you awake.
There are no droppings in the pantry.
The house is quiet.
And eventually, some clients begin questioning whether they still need ongoing service.
We've had clients complete their six-month commitment, cancel Rodent Guard because everything seemed fine, and later reenroll after rodent problems returned.
That doesn't mean every client who cancels will experience another infestation.
It means the environmental conditions that originally contributed to the problem can return or change, even after the initial infestation has been resolved.
Rodent Guard is designed to make rodent problems less noticeable precisely because we're working to prevent them.
Rodent Guard Requires Client Participation
Our technicians bring the training, equipment, and experience necessary to manage rodent activity and secure structural vulnerabilities.
But successful rodent control also requires cooperation from the people using the property.
We may recommend moving bird feeders farther from the home, modifying landscaping, relocating planters, securing stored food, or keeping garage doors closed when they're not actively being used.
These recommendations aren't arbitrary.
They're based on conditions that can encourage rodents to approach or enter the structure.
Sometimes a household member enjoys feeding birds near the house. Another may prefer keeping the garage door open throughout the afternoon. Someone else may be reluctant to relocate garden planters.
We understand that these activities are part of how people enjoy their homes.
But when those habits create conditions favorable to rodents, they can work against the program's objectives.
Rodent Guard works best when Huntsman's technicians and the client are working toward the same goal.
Why Our Technicians Make the Treatment Decisions
Client observations are extremely valuable.
You know your property, and you may notice activity that isn't apparent during a scheduled visit.
We want that information.
However, trap placement, exclusion methods, and the sequence of work are determined by our trained technicians.
Rodent Guard isn't a menu of services that clients assemble themselves.
It's a comprehensive program built around established principles of rodent behavior, structural pest management, and professional field experience.
If a client wants only a few traps placed or one particular interior opening sealed, Rodent Guard may not be the appropriate service for that request.
Our technicians are responsible for determining the work necessary to achieve the program's objectives.
What Does Rodent Guard Cost?
Rodent Guard generally costs more than conventional rodent baiting programs.
That's intentional.
A quarterly pest control visit involving approximately 20 minutes of bait-station inspection and replenishment is fundamentally different from a program that includes intensive weekly trapping, extensive structural exclusion, twice-monthly maintenance, ongoing inspections, and additional interior trapping when needed.
We invest substantial technician time in each Rodent Guard property.
And we ask clients to recognize the value of that investment.
The Difference Between a Cheap Taco and a Great Taco
Here in Cincinnati, we have a restaurant called Agave & Rye that serves elaborate craft tacos.
You might spend $12–$18 on one of their specialty tacos.
Meanwhile, you can visit Taco Bell and purchase a much less expensive taco.
They're both tacos.
But they're not designed to deliver the same experience.
There's a time and place for Taco Bell. Sometimes you just want a quick, inexpensive taco.
But if you're looking for carefully prepared ingredients, specialized recipes, and a different dining experience, comparing the two options based solely on price misses the point.
Rodent control works similarly.
There's a market for inexpensive baiting programs.
But Rodent Guard isn't simply a more expensive version of the same service.
It's a different approach, requiring a different investment of time, training, equipment, and labor.
And unlike the questionable late-night taco decision, our goal is to help you avoid regretting your choice later.
How Rodent Guard Pricing Works
The initial program is quoted following a property inspection.
That initial fee covers the trapping and exclusion work necessary to resolve the original interior infestation, including additional weekly service when required.
The fee is divided into two payments: 50% upon acceptance of the estimate and 50% during Week Three.
Ongoing maintenance is billed monthly, with a minimum six-month commitment.
After the initial six months, the program continues month to month until the client chooses to cancel.
Your Monthly Rate Is Locked In
One of the benefits of continued enrollment is pricing stability.
Your Rodent Guard monthly maintenance rate is locked in for as long as you remain continuously enrolled.
For example, if you enroll in 2026 at $165 per month and remain continuously enrolled through 2036, your monthly maintenance rate remains $165.
That's ten years of protection at the original enrollment rate.
Separately approved repairs outside the included maintenance exclusion allowance may still carry additional charges.
But the recurring maintenance rate stays the same.
Is Rodent Guard Right for Your Property?
Rodent Guard isn't necessarily the right solution for every client.
It may not make financial sense for certain rental properties, investment properties, or situations where the owner is seeking only a limited, one-time service.
It also isn't designed for clients looking for an immediate, inexpensive fix without addressing the conditions contributing to rodent activity.
Rodent Guard is best suited for clients who want a comprehensive approach to eliminating an existing infestation and protecting their property over time.
It's for people who understand that long-term rodent control requires professional expertise, structural maintenance, environmental awareness, and active participation.
Most importantly, it's for clients who would rather invest in preventing recurring problems than repeatedly react when mice return.
Why Huntsman Wildlife?
Rodent Guard combines more than 20 years of structural pest control and wildlife management experience with an approach built around training, accountability, and realistic expectations.
Our technicians complete more than 400 hours of classroom and field training before independently servicing Rodent Guard clients.
Every maintenance visit follows a documented 17-point checklist.
And at the conclusion of every service, our technicians explain four things:
What we did. Where we did it. Why we did it. And what you should expect next, including when.
We believe clients deserve to understand the work being performed on their property.
We also believe that protecting a home requires more than simply placing traps and hoping for the best.
We can't promise you'll never see another mouse. We can promise that when you do, you're our highest priority.
That's the difference between treating a rodent problem and guarding against the next one.
