The problem with most rodent work

We solve it or you don’t pay.
Why a pest control plan does not end a rat problem
Most rodent jobs in Salt Lake City 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 mice and rats actually use to get in
- Window wells, and the gap where the well meets the foundation
- Basement window frames that no longer close tight
- Rim joist penetrations for gas, water, cable and the air conditioning line set
- Garage door seals that no longer meet the slab
- Dryer and bath vents whose flaps have stopped closing
- Eaves, soffits and roof vents opened by snow and ice
- Plumbing and sewer-line entry, including damaged drain lines
- Sheds, detached garages and woodpiles 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 Salt Lake City, UT
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 mice or rats are getting inside, including potential entry through the window wells, the basement, the garage, the roofline or the plumbing system. Once identified, we seal the entry points first using our lifetime-warranted rodent-proofing products.
Sealing first matters most in the autumn, when the pressure from outside is highest and an open house fills faster than it can be emptied. Trapping and monitoring follow, using traps, cameras and the Rat Vac system rather than poison. Then we clean and sanitize and address contaminated insulation where it needs it.
Rodent Control in Salt Lake City, UT
You hear scratching in the basement ceiling after dark, or you are finding droppings in the garage, the storage room or the kitchen. 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 - and on a valley house that is usually at basement level: a window well, a basement window, the rim joist, or the garage.
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 up properly. See rodent control services for how the whole job fits together.

This is most of what we do here. When the nights drop, mice from the benches, the scrub oak and the open fields on the west side head for the nearest heated building, and a mouse needs a gap about the width of a pencil to get in.
Deer mice are the ones that arrive with the cold, and they carry hantavirus - which is why the droppings in a basement storage room or a shed are not something to sweep up yourself.
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 phone estimate before any of it.

Rodent proofing starts with knowing exactly how mice or rats 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 a valley house that means window wells and basement windows, the rim joist and every pipe, wire and line set through it, the garage door and the garage-to-house corners, vents, and the eaves where snow and ice have opened gaps.
We don’t rely on temporary fixes like foam, caulk or steel wool stuffed into a hole. 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
Mouse and rat control in Salt Lake City: common questions
How much does rodent control cost in Salt Lake City?
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 mice or rats 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.
Why do the mice arrive every autumn?
Because that is when the outside stops being liveable and your house becomes the warmest thing nearby. 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 occasionally means some exterior sealing waits for a clear day, and if that applies to your house we will say so up front.
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, spiders or other pests?
No. We do mice and rats, and that is the whole list. No ants, no spiders, no bugs, and no quarterly pest treatment of any kind.
If another pest is 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 (801) 708-0946.
