The problem with most rodent work
100% Money-Back Guarantee
We solve it or you don’t pay.
Why a pest control plan does not end a rat problem
Most rodent jobs in Sacramento 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.
California has moved the same way. Under AB 1788, the California Ecosystems Protection Act, most uses of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides are now prohibited statewide, so a great deal of what a poison-first company could once reach for is simply off the table.
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 mice and rats actually use to get in
- Unscreened or chewed attic and gable vents
- Tile roof edges and the gap under the first course
- Open or poorly screened crawl space vents on older raised-foundation homes
- Gaps where plumbing, conduit, ducting and air conditioning lines enter the building
- Garage door seals that no longer meet the slab
- Plumbing and sewer-system entry points, including damaged sewer lines and improperly protected roof vents
The trees aren’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
Sacramento Rodent Control Experts
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 crawl space, the structure or the plumbing system. Once identified, we seal the entry points first using our lifetime-warranted rodent-proofing products.
Trapping and monitoring follow, using traps, cameras and the Rat Vac system rather than poison. Then we clean and sanitize affected areas and address contaminated insulation where it needs it.
Most pest control services around Sacramento sell a route: a bait station by the fence, a visit every month and a contract to keep paying. That keeps pests near the station under control while the bait lasts, but nobody asks how the rats got onto the property in the first place. Plenty of our calls start there, with a customer whose boxes are still full and whose scratching never stopped.
We are not an exterminator, and we do not treat ants, termites or other pests. Rodent control is the whole job, so a rodent infestation gets a repair with an end point instead of a monthly visit.
Rodent Control in Sacramento, CA
You hear scratching overhead in the evening, or something moving under the floor. You are finding droppings in the attic, the garage or the kitchen. Or you have trapped rats or mice before, and they keep coming back.
The most important question isn’t how many are inside. It’s how they are getting in - and in Sacramento that could be the roofline, where roof rats come off the tree canopy, or underneath, where Norway rats come up from the crawl space and the drain lines.
Food keeps them close. Fruit trees, pet food left on the patio and bird seed hold rats around a Sacramento property, and one gap in the roofline or the crawl space lets them move in.
We find the entry points first, seal them in steel and mortar, then trap and monitor what is left inside without poison, so nothing dies in a wall you cannot reach. Then we clean and sanitize and deal with contaminated insulation. See rodent proofing for the part that ends it.

This city has both rats. Roof rats travel the canopy, the fences and the utility lines and come in at the top of the house. Norway rats live along the rivers, the levees and the storm and sewer lines, and come in from below. A company that only ever looks in the attic is solving half the problem.
We trap rather than bait. A poisoned rat dies inside the wall or the floor it was living in, and in a Sacramento summer you will know about it.
Before any trap goes down, the way in gets sealed - see rodent proofing - so nothing new arrives while we work. It starts with a free phone estimate.

Rodent proofing starts with knowing exactly how rats or mice are getting inside. Once we identify the entry points, we seal them FIRST using our lifetime-warranted rodent-proofing products and professional exclusion materials designed to stop rodents from getting back in.
On the newer tile-roofed houses across the region that means tile edges, attic and gable vents and the roof junctions. On the older raised-foundation houses it means the crawl space vents, the hatch and the foundation too. On every house, the penetrations where plumbing, electrical, ducting and the air conditioning lines enter the structure.
We don’t rely on temporary fixes like foam, caulk or steel wool stuffed into a hole. The goal is a permanent repair to the actual entry point.
Our exclusion repairs are performed using lifetime-warranted products, and our rodent-resolution service is backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.

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
Rat and mouse control in Sacramento: common questions
How much does rodent control cost in Sacramento?
The cost depends on how the rodents are getting in, how extensive the activity is, and what repairs are needed to permanently stop the problem.
We start with a free phone estimate to learn what you’re hearing, seeing or smelling and to explain our process and expected pricing.
If the source of the problem is not obvious, the next step may be our Entry Point Diagnostic, where we determine exactly how rats or mice are getting into the home.
Once the entry points are identified, we can provide the scope and pricing for sealing, trapping and monitoring, and cleanup as needed.
No monthly bait program. Our goal is to find the source and solve the problem permanently.
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.
What kind of rats and rodents are found in Sacramento homes?
Three, mainly: roof rats, Norway rats and house mice.
Roof rats climb, and the region's mature trees, fences, utility lines and backyard fruit give them an easy route onto the roof. They are usually the ones heard overhead in the attic.
Norway rats live low. The rivers, the levees and the storm and sewer lines give them plenty of ground, and they tend to come in through the crawl space, the foundation or a damaged drain or sewer line - somewhere a standard attic-and-roof inspection never looks.
House mice are everywhere, and around the farm edge of the valley they move indoors in numbers when the fields are worked or harvested.
That is why we do not assume the rat came through the roof. Roof. Structure. Sewer. We find the actual entry point.
Which areas around the city do you cover?
West Sacramento, Rancho Cordova, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Folsom, Roseville, Rocklin, Davis, Woodland and Dixon are all areas our Sacramento office covers, with the same free phone estimate, the same rodent control services and the same money-back guarantee.
How long does the whole job take?
Every job is different depending on the entry points, structure of the home, and level of rodent activity. We’ve successfully solved some rodent problems within just a few days, while more complex cases can take a bit longer.
Our goal is to solve your rodent problem for good — all backed by our 100% money-back 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.
Do you handle the cleanup and contaminated insulation?
Yes. Once the rodent problem is resolved, we remove droppings, nesting materials and contaminated insulation where needed. We then clean, sanitize and deodorize affected areas using TwinZyme, our professional-strength enzyme treatment designed to break down rodent-related organic waste and odors.
Insulation can also be replaced where necessary.
We don’t just remove the rodents — we help remove what they left behind.
Do you offer a free inspection?
Over the phone, yes. The free inspection is a call rather than a visit: you tell us what you are hearing, where in the house and at what time of day, and we tell you what that points to and how we would deal with it. No charge, and nothing to book.
What we do not do is a free walk-around. Finding the entry points is the job itself rather than a sales visit, so we would rather be straight about which part costs nothing and which part is the work.
Do you do ants, termites or other pests?
No. We do rats and mice, and that is the whole list. No ants, no bugs, no termite control, and no quarterly pest treatment of any kind.
If ants, bugs or other pests are your actual problem, we are not your call, and we will tell you that on the phone rather than book you in.
Where are you hearing it?
Attic / Ceiling / Walls
Scratching overhead or inside walls.
Crawl Space / Under Floors
Noises or activity beneath the home.
Sewer / Plumbing
Rats appearing with no obvious exterior entry.
Any of the three is worth a call. Tell us what you are hearing and where, and we will tell you what it usually means: get a free phone estimate, or call (916) 249-2625.
