Rodent Control in Northwest Missouri

When rodents move in, they bring more than just noise in the walls. They contaminate food, damage insulation and wiring, and threaten the comfort of your home or business. Once they find warmth and food, they rarely leave on their own — and over-the-counter baits or traps only offer temporary relief. They don’t address how or why rodents are getting inside, so the problem keeps coming back.

Here’s Why Our Rodent Control Makes Us the Right Choice

We don’t just set traps — we eliminate the source of the problem. Every rodent control program includes:

  • A full inspection to locate entry points and nesting areas
  • Targeted baiting using professional-grade materials that work quickly and effectively after a single feeding
  • Tamper-resistant bait stations are placed only in secure, hidden areas to keep kids and pets protected
  • Sealing and exclusion of common access points to prevent re-entry
  • Optional monitoring stations for long-term protection

Our professional-grade system is designed to work quickly and cleanly — eliminating rodent odors that can linger for weeks with many store-bought products. You’ll notice the difference not just in results, but in comfort.

End Your Rodent Problems for Good

Our Rodent Control Program targets the root cause of infestations — not just what you can see. Here’s how it works:

  1. Inspection: We locate every potential entry point and identify where rodents are nesting.
  2. Treatment: Our baiting system eliminates active infestations quickly and cleanly.
  3. Exclusion: We seal and secure entry points to stop future invaders.
  4. Follow-Up: We return to monitor, refill, and ensure complete control.
  5. Prevention: We offer ongoing monitoring and maintenance to keep your property protected year-round.

Unlike typical DIY approaches, our professional baiting system is formulated for fast results — without leaving behind unpleasant odors when rodents die in hidden areas.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your rodent treatments family and pet-friendly?

Yes. We use tamper-resistant bait stations and targeted applications placed only where rodents travel — keeping your family and pets protected.

Are your treatments family and pet-friendly?

Yes. We use tamper-resistant bait boxes and strategic placement methods to keep your family and pets safe while effectively eliminating rodents.

Do you offer ongoing rodent prevention?

Absolutely. Many homeowners choose to transition to our monthly rodent protection plan for consistent monitoring and long-term prevention.

How fast can you eliminate rodents?

Most infestations can be controlled within one to two weeks, depending on the severity and structure type. Our team monitors progress and adjusts treatments as needed for complete elimination.

What are the signs I might have a rodent problem?

Common signs include scratching noises, droppings, gnaw marks, or a musky odor in walls or attics. If you notice any of these, it’s best to schedule an inspection as soon as possible.

What types of rodents do you treat?

We target both rats and mice using proven baiting and exclusion methods designed to eliminate active infestations and prevent future problems.

Will rodent treatments cause unpleasant odors?

Not with our program. Our advanced baiting system prevents the strong decaying odors that often occur when rodents die in hidden areas. It’s one of the many ways Preferred Pest Control makes pest control easier — and more comfortable — for your family.

Preferred Pest is wonderful! From the first contact with them, they were informative, professional and friendly. We set up an appointment and received a confirmation link and a reminder. Jenny was right on time. She was friendly and helpful. Jenny went into an insect filled rental home, took care of the problem and came out smiling..lol! The cost was minimal considering the problem. I would not consider calling anyone else and highly recommend Preferred Pest!

Jill did a great job of safely removing a litter of raccoon babies and sending the mom on her way after she had done some damage to the roof. Jill did in 24 hours what another company couldn't get done in 4 weeks. This is a great company I would highly recommend.
