What They Are
Rodents, mice and rats, are more than a nuisance. They chew through wiring (a leading cause of house fires), contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine, carry disease, and reproduce fast. A single pair of house mice can produce dozens of offspring in a matter of months.
Why They're a Problem in Lubbock & West Texas
Lubbock's cold winters push rodents indoors in search of warmth and food. House mice and deer mice are the most common entry-level invaders. Roof rats and Norway rats are larger, more destructive, and tend to establish themselves in attics, crawl spaces, and wall voids. Once inside, they are difficult to remove without professional equipment and a systematic approach.
Signs of Infestation
- Droppings along baseboards, in cabinets, in the attic, or near food storage
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, wiring, or structural materials
- Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings at night
- Greasy rub marks along walls (from rodents following the same path repeatedly)
- Nesting material, shredded paper, fabric, or insulation, in undisturbed areas
SWAT's Elite plan includes rodent control: up to 4 exterior bait boxes and 6 interior bait stations and traps, installed during the SWAT Sweep. At every quarterly visit, our technician checks and replenishes all stations, conducts attic monitoring where accessible, and assesses for new activity. This is a continuous, managed rodent control program, not a one-time service.
