Trapping + Exclusion, Not Just Bait Attic and Crawl Space Inspections Sealed Entry Points Documented 24-Hour Response

Why traps alone never finish the job

A mouse needs a gap the size of a dime. A rat, a quarter. Your house has more of those than you think: gaps under garage doors, around AC lines, where siding meets brick, under deck stairs. Catch every rodent inside today and the entry points invite the next family in by Thanksgiving.


That's why our program is removal plus exclusion. We trap and remove what's living in your house, then we find and seal the holes they used, with materials they can't chew through. Then we keep monitors in place long enough to prove the activity stopped. Quietly throwing bait in an attic and billing monthly forever is the industry's favorite business model. It's not ours.

  • Full inspection: attic, crawl space, garage, exterior perimeter
  • Trapping program with check-ins on a schedule set for your situation, until activity stops
  • Entry points sealed with steel mesh, sealant, and door sweeps, photographed before and after
  • Basic cleanup help where the job allows, plus honest guidance on what's safe to DIY and what isn't
  • Exterior bait stations for ongoing pressure, locked and labeled, quoted with the job

What we deal with

🐁

House Mice

The scratching-in-the-kitchen-wall classic. Fast breeders, so a "couple of mice" in October is a colony by January. Speed matters.

🏠

Roof Rats

Common across the wooded Birmingham suburbs. They travel power lines and branches, enter high, and live in attics. If the noise is overhead at night, this is usually it.

🐋

Norway Rats

Ground-level burrowers, more common around creeks, dumpsters, and chicken coops. Bigger, bolder, and harder on structures.

🛡

Exclusion Work

The part that makes it permanent. Steel mesh in weep holes, sealed utility penetrations, garage door sweeps. Documented with photos.

🔦

Attic and Crawl Space Checks

Where the evidence is. Droppings, runways, chewed wiring, displaced insulation. Free with inspection, eyes-on every time.

Damage Prevention

Rodents chew wiring and ductwork, and that's a fire risk, not a comfort issue. Early action is cheaper than an electrician. Much cheaper than the alternative.

How we do it

Remove. Seal. Verify. In that order.

1

Inspect

We find what species, where they're living, and every entry point. You get the full picture with photos.

2

Remove

Trapping placed on runways and checked on schedule. Done right, most homes clear in 1 to 3 weeks.

3

Seal

Every entry point closed with chew-proof materials. This is the step that makes the fix stick.

4

Verify

Monitors stay until there's zero new activity. We show you the evidence and call it done. Optional exterior stations after that for high-pressure properties.

Why Sipsey for rodents

We finish jobs

The goal is a cleared, sealed house, not an open-ended monthly bill. If you want ongoing exterior protection after, that's your call, and we'll tell you honestly whether your property needs it.

Photo documentation

Entry points before and after sealing. You see exactly what you paid for.

📢

Honest about poison

Bait has its place (locked exterior stations), but bait-only indoor programs mean dead rodents in your walls. We lead with trapping indoors for exactly that reason.

🏠

We know the local pattern

Wooded lots in Vestavia, Mountain Brook, and Irondale get roof rats off the tree highways. Creekside homes get Norway rats. The plan fits the property.

"Sipsey Pest Solutions has done a fabulous job of keeping our home safe from insects. The thorough monthly service has taken care of any issues. When we had an unusual situation (wasps in a wreath on the back door!) Wes was here immediately to handle the problem and came back a few days later to be sure they were gone. One call and he's here right away!! That is so rare these days!! I wouldn't use anyone else!!"

"Luke and Wes are great. Solid and trustworthy...and...they earnestly care about helping their customers rather than spray and pray. Wes came out today and explained they spray for seasonal pests and come out more regularly to cover your outdoor pest control needs. I really look forward to working more with Sipsey. Thanks guys!"

Rodent control questions, straight answers

Have a question that isn't here? Give us a call. We're happy to walk you through anything before you commit.

How much does rodent control cost in Alabama? +
Honest answer: it depends, because no two rodent jobs are alike. Price follows the size of the home, how established the rodents are, and how many entry points need sealing, so we quote each job after a free inspection. What we promise: the quote is itemized, it doesn't change after the fact, and we separate the fix from any optional ongoing protection so you see both numbers. Beware of quotes that sound cheap but quietly convert into permanent monthly billing.
I hear scratching at night. Mice or rats? +
Overhead scratching at dusk and dawn in a wooded Birmingham suburb is usually roof rats. Scampering in kitchen walls or under floors leans mice. Either way the next step is the same: an inspection that finds droppings and runways tells us for sure, and it's free.
Can't I just put out poison from the store? +
You can, but think it through. Poisoned rodents die in your walls (you'll know within a week, trust us), secondary poisoning risks owls, dogs, and cats, and none of it stops new rodents from using the same front door. Trap, seal, verify works. We wrote a full comparison on the blog if you want the long version.
How long does it take to get rid of mice? +
Most homes clear in one to three weeks once trapping starts. Heavy, long-established infestations take longer. The sealing work is same-week. The verification monitors run a couple weeks beyond the last activity, because "I think they're gone" isn't a standard we accept.
Do you clean up droppings and insulation? +
We can help with basic cleanup depending on the specifics of the job, and we'll tell you upfront what that covers. For the rest, we point you to what's DIY-safe (droppings cleanup with the right precautions) versus pro territory (heavily soiled insulation, which we refer to a remediation specialist).
When is rodent season in Alabama? +
Pressure spikes from October through February as temperatures drop and food gets scarce, but established infestations are a year-round problem. If you're hearing them in spring, they didn't just arrive. They overwintered, and they're multiplying.

The scratching doesn't fix itself.

Free inspection, removal with a finish line, and entry points sealed for good.
