Elk Grove Mouse Control & Removal

Finding droppings in the garage or hearing scratching in the walls at night is often the first sign of a mouse problem. In Elk Grove, mice are commonly drawn indoors by irrigation systems, nearby greenbelts, and easy access through garages, crawl spaces, and older utility gaps. Once inside, they can contaminate storage areas, damage insulation, and chew wiring if the source isn’t addressed.

At Fast Action Pest Control, we’ve been providing mouse control in Elk Grove since 2003. As a veteran-owned and fully insured company, we focus on practical removal and prevention based on how mice are entering and nesting on your property. We offer free inspections, same-day service when available, and emergency support when activity needs immediate attention.

Each treatment plan is customized to reduce current mouse activity and limit the conditions that allow infestations to return. Services are appropriate for homes with children and pets, and Spanish-speaking support is available.

Call (916) 957-3535 or contact us online to schedule a free inspection and professional mouse control in Elk Grove. We proudly serve nearby communities including Fremont, Hayward, Roseville, Sacramento, Yuba City, and surrounding areas.

How Our Mouse Control Process Works

We approach every property with a structured, step-by-step plan that minimizes disruption while addressing the root of the problem:

Detailed property check. Attics, basements, garages, storage areas, and surrounding grounds are inspected for droppings, nests, and likely entry points.
Customized plan. Findings are reviewed with you, and a treatment plan is designed based on your property layout, the type of infestation, and local environmental factors.
Focused treatment. Treatments are applied precisely where mice are active, reducing impact on other areas and ensuring safety for children and pets.
Prevention Guidance. We provide actionable tips on sealing gaps, reducing attractants, and maintaining conditions that discourage mice from returning.

This methodical approach ensures thorough results and helps maintain a cleaner, safer property without unnecessary disruption.

Why Ignoring a Mouse Problem Can Cost You

Mice may be small, but they are incredibly destructive. Because they can squeeze through a gap the size of a dime, almost any home, from established neighborhoods to new builds, is at risk. They don't just eat your food; they use your insulation for nesting and chew on electrical wiring, which can create fire hazards.

DIY traps often fail because they only catch the mice brave enough to come out. Meanwhile, the rest of the colony is breeding behind your cabinets or in the attic. We don't just set traps; we find the specific "highway" they are using, like unsealed utility lines or gaps under the sink, and shut it down.

Recognizing Mouse Infestation Early

Droppings in cabinets, along walls, or in storage areas
Rustling or scratching sounds at night
Chewed packaging, wood, or wiring
Nests made from shredded material in hidden areas
Smudge marks along frequently traveled routes

Mice vs Rats: How to Tell the Difference

Understanding whether you’re dealing with mice or rats helps determine the right approach. Mice are small (2–4 inches long), slender, and have large ears. They can squeeze through tiny gaps and often nest inside walls, attics, or storage areas. Rats are larger (7–10 inches or more), with thicker bodies and smaller ears relative to their size. They may burrow closer to the ground or climb into elevated spaces, depending on the species.

Behavioral signs also differ; mice leave smaller droppings and gnaw marks, and they can be active during both day and night. Rats produce larger droppings, follow predictable travel paths, and often have more noticeable burrows. Recognizing these differences allows us to tailor inspections and treatments for the rodent type affecting your property.

Common Mouse Species in Elk Grove

The House Mouse is the most common invader we see, nesting in walls and pantries year-round. However, for homes bordering greenbelts or open fields, we also monitor for the Deer Mouse. Identifying the exact species is critical because it tells us where to look for nests and how to protect your health.

What Health Risks Do Mice Pose?

Mice carry bacteria and viruses that can affect both humans and pets. Exposure occurs through droppings, urine, and nesting materials, increasing the risk of Salmonella, hantavirus, and other illnesses. They may also bring fleas or mites into homes or workplaces, adding additional exposure risks. Our services focus on removing mice safely, sealing entry points, and offering practical guidance on maintaining a cleaner, less inviting property.

Where Do They Commonly Thrive?

Mice look for food, warmth, and shelter, making certain spots in homes and businesses particularly attractive. Common hotspots in residences include kitchens, pantries, garages, attics, basements, and crawlspaces. Older homes may have hidden gaps, while newer ones can still be vulnerable through vents, utility lines, or storage areas.

In commercial properties, mice often target storage rooms, delivery docks, break rooms, and high-traffic areas. Our team inspects these zones carefully, removes nests, and offers guidance on sanitation and exclusion practices to reduce conditions that encourage mice. Scheduled service plans and ongoing monitoring help keep recurring activity under control, all while minimizing disruption to business operations.

Planning Around Seasonal Activity

Mouse activity shifts with the seasons. Warmer months encourage outdoor foraging, while cooler months drive mice indoors. Our treatments and follow-ups are scheduled with these seasonal trends in mind to address infestations when activity is highest, providing consistent results throughout the year.

Steps to Keep Mice Away Between Treatments

Seal gaps around doors, vents, and utility lines
Store food and pet supplies in sealed containers
Keep storage areas organized in garages, basements, and attics
Trim overgrown vegetation near structures
Remove standing water and debris

I would recommend him to anyone that has pest problems
“Jose is always professional. He really knows what he’s doing. He always remembers what was treated in the last visit, and how to help treat any of the new bug problems that come up between visits. I would recommend him to anyone that has pest problems. We have seen a huge decrease in bugs since he started treating our home.”

I have never had any complaints with this company.
“We’ve used Fast Action Pest Control services for over 7 years, and I must say I have never had any complaints with this company. They have consistently been punctual and polite. Denis has been providing services to my property for a while now. He is exceptionally versed with their products. He communicates well and always asks if there is anything I want him to focus on during this visit. With some companies, you can tell they’re just trying to get the job done as fast as possible to move on to the next one, but with Fast Action, you can tell they actually care about their reputation and pride themselves in providing good service.”
