Rodent Control Services in San Diego
Professional, and Effective Rodent Removal by Cartwright Termite & Pest Control
At Cartwright Termite & Pest Control, we understand how stressful it can be to discover rodents in your home or business. Our rodent control treatments are customized to the specific needs of your property. Before setting traps or performing exclusion work, our licensed technicians conduct a thorough interior and exterior inspection to identify rodent activity, nesting areas, entry points, and potential water or food sources.
Our goal is not just to remove rodents — it is to keep them from coming back. Along with our targeted treatments, we offer ongoing monitoring and prevention plans designed to stop future infestations before they start. If you suspect rats, mice, or other rodents on your property, do not wait — these pests can cause serious property damage and even fire hazards by gnawing on electrical wiring. Contact Cartwright Termite & Pest Control for fast, reliable rodent control in San Diego.
Common Rodents We Handle
Our experienced team is trained to identify and control all major rodent species common to Southern California, including:
- Rats and Mice – The most frequent home invaders, known for nesting in attics, walls, and crawlspaces.
- Gophers and Ground Squirrels – Outdoor pests that damage lawns, gardens, and irrigation systems.
Every infestation starts with a detailed property inspection to pinpoint signs of activity and determine the right control method for your situation.
Signs of a Rodent Infestation
Rodents often go unnoticed until their activity becomes obvious. Our technicians look for both physical evidence and behavioral indicators, such as:
- Droppings under sinks, in cupboards, or along baseboards
- Gnaw marks on wood, wires, and food packaging
- Scratching or squeaking noises at night
- Shredded paper or fabric nests
- Stale, musky odors in dark or hidden spaces
If you notice any of these warning signs, it is important to act quickly — rodents reproduce fast, turning a small issue into a full-blown infestation in weeks.
Health and Safety Risks
Rodents are more than a nuisance — they are a health hazard. Rats and mice can spread dangerous diseases like hantavirus and salmonella. Their droppings and urine can worsen asthma and allergies, especially in children and sensitive individuals. They also cause costly structural damage by chewing through insulation, drywall, and wiring.
Prompt rodent removal not only protects your property but also helps safeguard your family’s health.
Our Rodent Control Process
Cartwright’s rodent control process is thorough, efficient, and environmentally responsible:
- Inspection – We examine your home and yard to locate nesting areas, access points, and attractants.
- Customized Treatment Plan – Based on our findings, we design a plan tailored to your property and rodent species.
- Control and Removal – We use traps, bait stations, or humane live traps depending on the severity and location of the infestation.
- Exclusion and Prevention – We seal entry points, eliminate food/water sources, and provide expert recommendations to keep rodents out for good.
- Follow-Up Monitoring – Our team provides continued inspection and maintenance to ensure lasting results.
Here are some helpful prevention tips:
- Sealing holes and cracks with steel wool or caulk
- Removing bird seed, pet food, and open trash
- Keeping outdoor areas clear of debris and standing water
Rodent Control Methods
We use a variety of safe and effective rodent control methods, including:
- Live Traps – Humane trapping and relocation of rodents whenever possible.
- Bait Stations – Secure and tamper-resistant for targeted use.
- Rodenticides (When Necessary) – Carefully applied in minimal amounts to prevent environmental harm.
Our approach follows the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) — a balanced, eco-conscious strategy combining inspection, sanitation, exclusion, and safe treatment methods for long-term control.

Next Day Inspection
As a Realtor for over 38 years, we have many choices but also see a lot of botched termite work. So when I sold my client a home in El Cajon, I checked yelp for recommendations. When I called Cartwright Termite Company, a friendly lady answered the phone. In spite of busy holiday hours, Aaron responded with a next day inspection. Got the house tented and repair was made within a few days later. Thank you Cartwright for your prompt, friendly and efficient service

My mother and I both have Cartwright Pest Control at our homes. They provide excellent service at a great price. They are always very responsive; every time I have had fire ants they are out there within 24 hours and typically the same day to treat. I would highly recommend them for your personal or commercial needs
