Rodent Exterminator in New Braunfels, TX
Deep Six Pest Control | Serving All of South Central Texas
Hearing scratching in the attic, finding droppings in the garage, or noticing chewed packaging in the pantry is more than a nuisance—it’s a sign that rats or mice may be using your home for shelter. Rodents reproduce quickly, contaminate food areas, and can cause costly damage by chewing insulation, wiring, and stored items. Deep Six Pest Control provides rodent control in New Braunfels and across South Central Texas, with a practical plan that focuses on removing current activity and preventing repeat entry.
Year-Round Rodent Protection for South Central Texas Homes
Rodent problems aren’t just a winter issue here. Rats and mice can stay active year-round, moving indoors for shelter, food, and water whenever the opportunity is easy—especially through garages, attic vents, utility lines, and small gaps around doors and foundations.
That’s why effective rodent control usually includes:
- Inspection to confirm activity and entry routes
- Active control (trapping/monitoring strategies matched to the situation)
- Exclusion guidance to stop re-entry and repeat problems
Detailed Inspections — Not “Set a Trap and Hope”
Before any control plan works, we need to know what’s happening and where. During your inspection, your technician will typically:
- Identify signs of rats vs. mice (droppings, rub marks, gnawing, nesting)
- Check common rodent zones: attics, garages, crawlspaces, sheds, and kitchens
- Look for entry points around doors, rooflines, vents, plumbing penetrations, and utility lines
- Evaluate exterior conditions that attract rodents (food sources, pet food storage, clutter, vegetation contact)
- Explain what we found and recommend a clear plan for control and prevention
You’ll get straightforward answers and a plan that matches your property.
Common Rodent Problems We Solve in New Braunfels
- Mice in walls, attics, or kitchens
Mice can fit through very small openings and often leave droppings in hidden areas, pantries, and along baseboards. - Rats in garages, sheds, or rooflines
Rats are often tied to outdoor access points, stored items, and shelter zones near fencing, vegetation, and roof edges. - Noises at night (scratching, scurrying, chewing)
Rodents are most active when the home is quiet, especially in attic spaces and wall voids. - Chewed wires, insulation, or stored items
Rodents gnaw constantly and can damage wiring, ducting, and insulation—creating expensive repairs and safety concerns. - Recurring activity after DIY traps
Store traps may catch one or two, but if entry points remain open or nests exist nearby, the problem often restarts.
How Our Rodent Treatments Work (Control + Prevention)
We don’t treat rodents like a one-time event. The goal is to eliminate current activity and stop future entry.
Depending on what we find, your service may include:
- Targeted trapping and monitoring placed where rodents actually travel
- Baiting strategies (used responsibly and appropriately based on the property and situation)
- Rodent harborage reduction guidance (storage, vegetation, exterior cleanup recommendations)
- Entry-point recommendations and exclusion planning to prevent re-entry
- A focus on long-term results, not temporary catch-and-release cycles
If you want, we can also prioritize high-risk areas like garages, attics, and food storage spaces for faster relief.

Rodent Control (Rats & Mice) — Frequently Asked Questions
How can I tell if it’s rats or mice?
Mice typically leave smaller droppings and can enter through very small gaps. Rats are larger, often leave heavier signs, and may be tied to garages, rooflines, or outdoor shelter. An inspection confirms what you’re dealing with.
What are the most common signs of rodents?
Droppings, scratching noises at night, gnaw marks, shredded nesting material, rub marks along walls, and chewed packaging are all common indicators.
Do rodents create health risks?
Yes. Rodents can contaminate surfaces and stored items and may carry bacteria through droppings and urine. Fast cleanup and proper control are important.
Is trapping enough to solve the problem?
Trapping can reduce active rodents, but long-term control usually requires addressing how they’re getting in and what’s attracting them.
Where do rodents usually enter a home?
Common entry routes include garage doors, attic vents, roofline gaps, plumbing and utility penetrations, and small openings along foundations.
How long does it take to resolve a rodent problem?
It depends on severity, access points, and how long activity has been present. Many situations improve quickly once control and prevention steps begin, but some require ongoing monitoring.
Do you offer exclusion or sealing?
We provide guidance and recommendations on the key entry points that need to be sealed. If your plan includes exclusion work, we’ll explain the best approach for your structure.
Do you offer ongoing rodent prevention?
Yes. Many homeowners prefer ongoing monitoring and exterior protection to prevent new activity—especially in areas that frequently see rodent issues.
