Pest control for your business
Rodent control for commercial premises
Presto-X has been committed to controlling rodents ever since the summer of 1932 when our founder, Ward Combs, was encouraged to start selling a formulation used to manage rodent infestations. Today, we deliver professional rodent control to businesses and homes across the Midwest and Western U.S.
Rodents spoil and contaminate products, cause structural damage, including fire hazards, and are a source of disease. Presto-X provides solutions to any type of rodent concern. Our services include:
- Facility inspections to review any structural concerns or sanitation practices which may be conducive to rodent activity

Effective commercial rodent control
Rodents can contaminate food and spread disease via rodent droppings, urine, fleas, and mites. They can also chew through wiring, damage insulation, and use insulation and papers as nesting material, making their presence even more destructive over time.
For commercial properties, Presto-X provides reliable rodent control services that fit in with your operational requirements.

Signs you need professional rodent removal
Rodents often stay hidden, but there are common warning signs that point to a possible rodent infestation:
- Gnaw marks on furniture, wires, or food packaging
- Droppings, especially near food or in cupboards
- Scratching or movement sounds in walls or ceilings
- Nests made from shredded paper or insulation
- Grease marks along walls or baseboards
- An unusual, musty odor
If you notice any of these signs, it may be time to call in a rodent exterminator. Addressing the issue early can help prevent further damage and health risks.
Why rodents enter properties
Rodents are drawn to places that offer easy access to food sources, nesting material, and shelter. Common attractants include uncovered garbage, food spills, clutter, and pet food left out overnight.
Small cracks and holes in walls or around pipes can become entry points, making it easy for mice, roof rats, and even voles to find their way in. Once inside, rodents look for warm, dark, and undisturbed areas such as attics, wall voids, garages, or storage spaces to burrow and build nests. They may also settle in warm spots beneath dishwashers, refrigerators, or near fireplace housing.
Customized rodent control solutions
At Presto-X, we understand that every rodent infestation is different. That’s why our technicians tailor rodent control plans to suit your needs. Whether you're a business operator or homeowner, our goal is to help you address the issue safely and thoroughly. We focus on identifying problem areas, limiting access to food sources, and recommending the most effective methods for rodent removal and prevention.
1. Inspect your facility
Our process starts with a detailed inspection of your property. We look for signs of rodent activity, such as droppings, chew marks, or nesting sites. Understanding where and how rodents are active helps us create a targeted rodent removal plan.
2. Identify potential entry points
We assess the building for the smallest gaps, holes, and structural damage that could serve as rodent entry points. These are logged and prioritized for sealing or proofing to help prevent future infestations.
3. Create a tailored rodent control plan
After inspection, our technician will walk you through the areas that require attention and provide clear, practical steps to help reduce rodent activity. This could include sanitation improvements, exclusion techniques, or setting up bait and trap stations.
Products used for rodent control
In addition to preventive measures (see information below), we also use trapping and baiting methods to capture rats and mice.
The most common methods are snap traps, multi-catch traps, and bait stations. Glue traps may be used if necessary.
In rare cases, fumigation has been found to be a viable alternative to traditional rodent control methods, depending on the intensity of the rodent problem and any associated risk.
How to prevent rodents from returning
Prevention is a vital part of rodent control. Here are a few steps you can take to make your property less appealing to rodents:
- Seal cracks and holes in walls, doors, and around utility lines
- Keep food in sealed containers and clean up spills promptly
- Take out the trash regularly and use tightly sealed bins
- Remove clutter, especially in storage areas
- Store firewood away from your building
- Schedule regular inspections with a rodent exterminator
While some of these steps can be done on your own, remember that DIY efforts may only provide short-term relief. For help with lasting results, it’s best to work with professionals.
