Fast, Professional Rat and Mouse Control
You Can Count On
Rats and mice are the most common rodent problems homeowners deal with, and they can create serious issues once they get inside. Mice and rats can contaminate food, damage insulation, chew electrical wiring, leave droppings in hidden areas, and create ongoing problems in attics, garages, walls, and crawl spaces. In many homes, the infestation is already larger than it first appears by the time the signs become noticeable.
At Arrest A Pest, we provide professional rat control, mouse control, and rodent removal services designed to find the source of the problem and stop it at the source. Our team understands how rats and mice behave, where they hide, how they travel through a structure, and the small openings they often use to enter a home. Effective mouse and rat control starts with identifying where activity is happening and building a plan tailored to the property.
A successful rodent control program involves more than setting traps. It requires inspection, detection, trapping, removal, entry point evaluation, and long-term prevention. We work to locate active rat and mouse activity, identify likely access points, and recommend the right strategy to help protect your home now and in the future.
If you are hearing scratching in the walls, seeing droppings, noticing gnaw marks, or spotting rats or mice around your property, it is important to act quickly. Arrest A Pest provides dependable rat and mouse control throughout the Coachella Valley to help homeowners restore comfort, cleanliness, and peace of mind.

Professional Rodent Protection
for Coachella Valley Homes
Rat and Mouse Inspection & Detection
Successful rodent control begins with a detailed inspection. We look for droppings, gnaw marks, nesting areas, rub marks, and likely entry points to determine where rats and mice are active and how they are moving through the home.
Rat and Mouse Trapping & Removal
When rats or mice are active inside a property, quick removal matters. We use targeted trapping and removal strategies designed to address the infestation safely and effectively based on the layout of the home and the severity of the problem.
Rat and Mice Exclusion Solutions
Removing rodents is only part of the process. We help identify gaps, cracks, vent openings, utility penetrations, and other structural vulnerabilities that may be allowing rats and mice to enter the home.
Sanitation & Cleanup Guidance
Rats and mice leave behind droppings, urine, nesting debris, and contamination in the places they occupy. We provide guidance on the cleanup concerns related to rodent infestations and why contaminated areas should be addressed properly after removal.
Rodent Damage Review
Rats and mice can damage insulation, stored items, ducting, and even electrical wiring. Identifying the areas affected by rodent activity is an important part of building a more complete solution for the home.
Ongoing Rat and Mouse Protection
Long-term rat and mouse control works best when active removal is combined with prevention. Our service is designed to help homeowners reduce current activity while building stronger protection against recurring infestations.
The Best Rat and Mouse Control for Coachella
Valley Homes
Rat and mouse problems can grow quickly when a home provides easy access to food, moisture, shelter, and hidden nesting areas. Once rats or mice get inside, they often settle into attics, garages, wall voids, crawl spaces, storage rooms, and other quiet parts of the property where they can stay active without being seen. Many homeowners first realize they have a rodent problem when they notice scratching sounds, droppings, chewed materials, or signs of nesting.
In the Coachella Valley, rats and mice can enter homes through surprisingly small gaps around garage doors, vents, rooflines, pipe penetrations, utility openings, damaged screens, and other structural weak points. Because mice and rats are both skilled at finding access into protected indoor areas, a professional inspection is often the best way to understand where they are getting in and how widespread the activity may be.
At Arrest A Pest, our rodent control service is designed specifically to target rats and mice, the two primary rodents most homeowners are concerned about. We focus on more than just the visible signs of activity. Our process is built to identify the source of the infestation, determine where rats and mice are traveling and nesting, and create a control plan that addresses both immediate removal and longer-term prevention. This may include inspection, trapping, activity monitoring, and recommendations for reducing entry opportunities around the home.
Rats and mice are not only frustrating to deal with, they can also create sanitation and property damage concerns. They may contaminate food storage areas, leave droppings and urine in hidden spaces, chew wiring and insulation, damage belongings, and create odors that affect the comfort of the home. Because they reproduce quickly, a small mouse or rat problem can become much more serious if it is not addressed early.
Fast action makes a difference. The sooner a rat or mouse infestation is identified, the better the chance of reducing contamination, limiting property damage, and restoring a cleaner and safer living environment. Homeowners who wait too long often find that the infestation has spread farther into the home than expected.
As a family-owned company serving the Coachella Valley, Arrest A Pest provides rat control, mouse control, and complete rodent control solutions with local knowledge and dependable service. If you are dealing with rats, mice, or signs of rodent activity in your home, our team is ready to help you reclaim your space and protect it with a more complete strategy.

- I’ve been using Arrest-A-Pest for more than four years to service my investment properties in the Coachella Valley area, and they’ve been consistently reliable, responsive, and competitively priced.

- This company offers amazing customer service. They helped me with a tick problem with extra sprays, and tailored recommendations to help mitigate the issue. Aaron is our tech, and he always schedules his visits around my schedule, and I am very particular with timing around baby nap times and he always accommodates what I need and shows up on time! He is very friendly and considerate. Definitely recommend this company!
- We had an outstanding experience with Arrest A Pest, and after working with Aaron B, they earned our business as our monthly pest control provider. Aaron was exceptional from start to finish. He was punctual, professional, incredibly knowledgeable, and took obvious pride in both his work and the company he represents. Rather than rushing through the appointment, he performed one of the most thorough home inspections we've ever experienced. He carefully inspected every area of our property, explained what he was looking for, identified potential concerns, and answered every question with patience and expertise. What impressed us most was Aaron's commitment to educating us instead of trying to sell us. It was clear that he genuinely cared about protecting our home and providing the right long-term solution. That level of professionalism and customer service made our decision easy. If you're looking for a trustworthy pest and termite company in the Coachella Valley, I highly recommend Arrest A Pest. And if you have the opportunity, ask for Aaron B. He's a true professional and a tremendous representative of the company. We couldn't be happier with our experience and look forward to working with him for years to come.
- What a GREAT Company! I have had a cricket issue and had enough of it. I reached out to Arrest a Pet. The lady who answered was awesome, got me scheduled same day. She was very polite, efficient and gave me my options. The tech Aaron was awesome as well. It was 114 out and he powered thru the heat. He informed me and gave me confidence that I had chose the right company! I'm glad I reached out to Arrest A Pest. You will be glad you did. Thank you Arrest A Pest💪
- Aaron at Arrest A Pest has been handling our routine desert pest, mosquitoes, spiders, gophers, & rodent needs for the last couple years. Aaron knows we have lots of desert plants with colorful blooms that attract butterflies & birds & that hummingbirds flock to our fresh running water fountain for a drink when it is well over a 100. He suggests things that rid our yard of mosquitoes but doesn’t kill birds or lizards that feed on the pests. Adam & his family run & operate this local pest company & he is other great team members that have helped us with gophers & rats too. We also have lots of rats that come off the HOA palms that surround the backside of our property. These large rats climb on the roof & down into the attic through the roof vents & through the ac & mini split wiring conduit into the attic as well. They redid the wire around the vents & wrapped the ac conduit wiring to prevent them from chewing through again. I was trapping rat after rat in my old snap traps, but after their great work sealing up all the spots we missed it has come to an end. No more dead rats & no more droppings or urine in the attic. We are very pleased to support a local La Quinta company & glad to have great people like Adam, Aaron, his rat team that I failed to get their names. All good people you can trust & they always have a great attitude too. Lucky to have them here in the Coachella Valley.
- We were very happy with quick service provided & needed within 24 hours ! The technician was SO kind and very thorough.

- Moving forward I will only use this company for termite inspections. Adam was extremely professional & great with communication. He contacted me to see if he could do the inspection earlier than scheduled. The report was ready the same day!!! Thank you Adam👍
- Shoutout to Hugo, Andres, and Melissa. I would be remiss to not include Melissa in this review since she was my initial point of contact and she was very impressive as well. She really knew her stuff and got us scheduled right away. Hugo and Andres were on time, friendly, and thoroughly inspected my home instead of rushing through it. During the inspection, they found several American cockroach egg cases hidden inside my toilet tanks and removed them. They explained what they found, why it was happening, and gave me a clear game plan to help keep roaches out of my house going forward. I really appreciated that they answered all of my questions and took the time to explain everything without trying to upsell me. You can tell they know what they’re doing and genuinely care about helping their customers. I definitely recommend Arrest A Pest.
- I’ve been using this service since moving out to La Quinta two years ago for a rodent problem and monthly service. Adam and his crew especially Aaron, Osmar and Hugo have been great. Always very professional and attentive to our needs. I would definitely recommend this company.

How do rats and mice get inside a house?
