Rodent Control

Rodent Control in Wichita Falls

Residential & Commercial Rodent Removal from North Texas’s Longest-Running Pest Control Company

Shoop's Texas Termite & Pest Control has been addressing rodent problems in Wichita Falls and across North Texas since 1932. As a family-owned, locally operated business, we know this region’s pest pressures firsthand. We handle both residential and commercial rodent control, and we’ve been voted Best Pest Control Company by the Times Record News for more than 25 years.

Fall and winter bring a sharp rise in rodent activity throughout North Texas. As temperatures drop, mice and rats push indoors looking for warmth and food. The City of Wichita Falls’ municipal Vector/Mosquito Control Program doesn’t perform rodent extermination, which means a licensed pest control operator is the right call when you’re dealing with an active infestation.

If you’re seeing signs of rodents in your home or business, don’t wait for the problem to grow. Call Shoop's Texas Termite & Pest Control at (940) 289-8079 for a free estimate. Same-day and emergency service options are available.

Common Rodents in Wichita Falls & North Texas

Three species account for most rodent calls in this region. House mice are the most frequent intruder in both homes and businesses. Norway rats are larger, burrow near foundations, and tend to stay at ground level. Roof rats are strong climbers and favor attics and upper wall voids, making them harder to detect until damage is already done.

The Wichita Falls area’s proximity to open land, fields, and agricultural operations keeps steady rodent pressure on nearby properties year-round. That pressure peaks from September through February, when dropping temperatures drive mice and rats indoors in earnest.

Signs of a Rodent Infestation

Early detection limits the damage. These are the most reliable indicators of active rodent activity:

Droppings along baseboards, in cabinets, or near food storage areas
Gnaw marks on wiring, wood, insulation, and food packaging
Nighttime sounds such as scratching or scurrying in walls, ceilings, or attics
Grease smear marks along walls and near entry points, left by oils in rodent fur
Nesting materials such as shredded paper, fabric, or insulation tucked in hidden areas

Chewed electrical wiring is among the most serious consequences of an unaddressed infestation. Beyond the fire risk, rodents contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine, posing health risks for everyone in the building.

Our Rodent Control Process

Every rodent situation is different, which is why we customize our approach to the specific property and problem rather than applying a one-size-fits-all treatment. Our rodent control service is designed to address what’s already inside and reduce the conditions that allowed rodents in to begin with.

Inspection & Active Infestation Removal

The process begins with a thorough property inspection. We identify where rodents are active, locate likely entry points, and assess conditions that are making the property attractive to them. Trapping and baiting then address the active infestation.

Exclusion & Ongoing Monitoring

Exclusion work follows: we identify and seal the gaps, cracks, and openings rodents use to enter. That step is what separates a lasting solution from a temporary fix. Ongoing monitoring and follow-up help assess whether rodent activity has been brought under control.

Store-bought treatments can knock back small numbers, but they rarely address the source of the problem. Recurring infestations almost always point to unsealed entry points or conditions that a professional inspection would catch.

Residential Rodent Control in Wichita Falls

North Texas homes are vulnerable at predictable spots. Mice and rats most often enter through gaps around pipes, utility lines, vents, and foundation cracks. Roof rats navigate straight to attics and wall voids, where they can nest undisturbed for weeks. In kitchens and pantries, droppings and urine contaminate food and prep surfaces, creating direct health risks for families. Gnawing on wiring, insulation, and structural wood compounds the problem, and the damage can be extensive before a homeowner realizes the scale of what’s present.

We provide residential rodent control for Wichita Falls homeowners designed to address the infestation and close the pathways that allowed it to develop.

Commercial Rodent Control for Wichita Falls Businesses

Commercial properties face their own rodent risks. Restaurants, food storage facilities, warehouses, and office buildings all give rodents easy access through loading docks, high-traffic entries, and gaps in aging infrastructure. A single confirmed sighting in a food service environment can jeopardize health code compliance and damage a business’s reputation.

We provide commercial rodent control services for businesses throughout Wichita Falls and the surrounding North Texas area. Commercial programs typically include regular inspections, monitoring, and documentation to support regulatory compliance and give business owners a defensible record of proactive pest management.
