The problem with most rodent work
100% Money-Back Guarantee
We solve it or you don’t pay.
Most rodent jobs in Coeur d’Alene get sold as a recurring service. Someone sets bait, comes back monthly, and collects for as long as you keep paying. The rodents keep coming because nobody ever closed the opening they walk through. Traps empty. Holes do not close themselves.
We do the opposite, and we put our name on it. Every job is covered by our 100% Money-Back Guarantee: we solve it, or you don’t pay. No renewal, no monthly fee, and nothing to keep paying for while the problem carries on.
We do it the other way around. We find every entry point first. Then we seal the building in steel and mortar so the route is gone, and trap what is already inside with traps and a vacuum system rather than poison. That is a repair to your house, and it is why it does not need renewing.
It also means we will sometimes tell you the job is smaller than you feared. A phone call that ends in "that sounds like one open vent, not an infestation" is a good outcome for both of us.

What rodents actually use to get in
- Soffits, fascia and flashing opened by snow load and ice damming
- Damaged or unscreened attic and gable vents
- Rim joist penetrations for gas, water, conduit and the hose bib
- Gaps around plumbing, electrical conduit and ducting
- Crawl space vents screened in insect mesh rather than steel
- Foundation and other structural openings
- Garage door seals that no longer meet the slab
- Dryer and bath vents whose flaps have stopped closing
- Unheated shops, barns and woodsheds feeding the house
The cold isn’t the problem. An opening into your home is. We identify the actual entry points and seal them FIRST using our lifetime-warranted rodent-proofing products.

Tell us what you’re hearing, seeing or smelling and where it’s happening. We’ll explain our process, discuss pricing and determine the right next step.
Find the Entry Point
This is the most important step. We determine exactly how rats or mice are entering — from attic and roof openings to crawl spaces, structural penetrations and plumbing or sewer systems.
Seal the Entry Points
Once we know how they’re getting in, we permanently seal the identified openings using professional rodent-proof materials. Stop the entry first — then eliminate what’s trapped inside.
Trap & Monitor
We strategically trap and monitor the rodents remaining inside using traps, cameras and, when appropriate, our Rat Vac system. No rodent poison inside your home.
Clean & Sanitize
Droppings, nesting material and contaminated insulation come out, and the space is disinfected rather than just cleared. Insulation is replaced where the contamination went through it.
What we do
Rodent Services in Coeur d’Alene, ID
Our proven process is designed to solve the source of the rodent problem — not just control it.
- Find the Entry Point
- Seal First
- Trap & Monitor
- Clean & Sanitize
Everything starts with determining exactly how rats or mice are getting inside, including potential entry through the roofline, the rim joist, the crawl space or the outbuildings on the same property. Once identified, we seal the entry points first using our lifetime-warranted rodent-proofing products.
Sealing first is deliberate. It stops anything new getting in while we trap and monitor what remains inside, which matters most in the autumn, when the pressure from outside is highest and an open building fills faster than it can be emptied.
Trapping and monitoring follow, using traps, cameras and the Rat Vac system rather than poison, so nothing dies inside a wall or a ceiling you cannot reach. Then we clean and sanitize the affected areas and address contaminated insulation where it needs it.
Rodent Control in Coeur d’Alene, ID
You hear scratching overhead after dark, or you are finding droppings in the pantry, the garage or the shop. Maybe it started the week the weather turned, which is when most of these calls come in.
The important question is not how many are inside. It is how they are getting in - because in a climate with a heating season this long, your building is the warmest thing for a mile and everything outside knows it.
We find the entry points first, then seal them in steel and mortar, then trap what is left inside without poison so nothing dies in a wall you cannot reach. The contamination gets cleaned up properly, and on a property with outbuildings we tell you which of them are part of the job. See rodent proofing for the part that ends it.

This is most of what we do here. Every autumn the harvest and the first frost push field mice off the prairie and out of the grass, and they go to the nearest heated building - which on the edge of a subdivision, or on any property with a shop and a woodpile, is yours. A mouse needs a gap about the width of a pencil, and between the rim joist penetrations, the vent flaps that stopped closing and a garage door that no longer meets the slab, most buildings have one.
Deer mice are the ones that arrive when the weather turns, and they are the carrier of hantavirus in North America - which is why the droppings and nesting material are not something to sweep out of a shed or a crawl space yourself. That part is done with containment and protective equipment.
We trap what is inside, seal every opening larger than a quarter of an inch, and clean up the contamination properly. No bait, no monthly stations, and a free inspection before any of it.

Rats used to be somebody else’s problem up here. They are turning up more than they did, in town and on the older properties, and a rat is not a large mouse: it needs a bigger opening, it is far more cautious about anything new, and it does more damage on the way in.
We trap rather than bait. A poisoned rat dies inside the wall or the floor system it was living in, where nobody can reach it, and in a house that is sealed and heated for six months of the year you live with the result.
Before any trap goes down, the way in gets sealed - see rodent proofing - so nothing new arrives while we work. Trapping then runs over several days rather than one visit, because rats avoid anything new in a familiar space until it stops being new.

Two brothers who chose this over television
Their father, David Schuelke Sr., started the business in 1982 and taught his twin sons the trade in high school, in his words so they would have something to fall back on. Jim and Dave have run it since 1992.
In between, a talent agent signed them at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. They shot a Jeep commercial for the 1994 Winter Olympics and appeared on EXTRA. Then they came back to the trade, specifically because of what they thought of its reputation: show up late, walk in with dirty boots, leave a mess.
That is the whole business model. Everything else, including the 626,000-subscriber channel, the training center they built for new hires, and filming the ugly jobs instead of hiding them, follows from it. Read the full story →

FAQ
Rodent control in Coeur d’Alene: common questions
How much does rodent control cost in Coeur d’Alene?
It depends on the size of the building, how far the activity has spread, and whether outbuildings are part of the job. Trapping a single point of entry is a very different job from a house and a shop that have been feeding each other for two seasons.
The inspection is free and comes first. You’ll know the recommended scope of work and pricing before moving forward with the next phase.
Why do the mice arrive every autumn?
Because that is when the outside stops being liveable and your building becomes the warmest thing nearby. It is not that your house has become more attractive; it is that everything else has become less so. The openings they use were there all summer - nothing was pushing anything through them until the nights dropped.
Do you use poison?
No. We don’t use rodent poison inside your home. Poison can leave a rodent dying in an inaccessible wall or ceiling cavity, creating odor and potentially attracting flies — and it still doesn’t solve the most important problem: how the rodent got inside in the first place.
Our approach is different. We find the entry points and seal them first. Then we use specialized trapping systems and rodent-monitoring cameras in high-activity areas to quickly and efficiently eliminate what remains inside and verify activity has stopped.
Find it. Seal it. Trap & monitor it. Solve it for good.
How do you remove rodents from inside walls and ceilings?
We specialize in fast removal of rodents living inside walls and ceilings. After we locate their entry points and seal them, we strategically deploy our specialized trapping and monitoring systems.
One of those systems is our patented Rat Vac trapping device, which is designed to extract multiple rodents using a single bait setup — with capacity for up to 60 mice or 33 rats.
The rodents are captured in a self-contained system, helping keep the trapping process contained and away from children and pets. We also use rodent-monitoring cameras in high-activity areas to track activity and help confirm when the problem has been eliminated.
No poison in your walls. No guessing. Find the entry point. Seal it. Then get them out — fast.
Can you do the work in winter?
Yes, and winter is when most people call. Trapping and interior work go ahead as normal. Snow on a roof occasionally means some exterior sealing waits for a thaw, and if that applies to your building we will say so up front rather than halfway through.
Do you cover the Washington side?
Yes. Spokane, Liberty Lake, Mead and Deer Park are all served from the Coeur d’Alene office, and being across the state line makes no difference to the price or the guarantee.
What does your 100% money-back guarantee mean?
It means we stand behind our work. If you hire us to solve your rodent problem, we confirm the source of the infestation, complete the recommended work, and if we don’t solve the problem, you get your money back.
That’s also why we use rodent-monitoring cameras in high-activity areas. We don’t just set traps and assume the problem is gone — we monitor rodent activity to help verify that the problem has been resolved.
Our goal is simple: find how they’re getting in, seal the entry points, eliminate what remains, and solve the problem for good — all backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.
Guarantee subject to the terms of your service agreement and completion of the recommended scope of work.
