If you're hearing noises at night, finding droppings, or noticing chewed food packages, you may have mice or rats in your home.
Rodents are one of the most common pest problems I deal with in Maine, especially during the fall and winter when temperatures start to drop.
I'm Dave with King Pest Solutions, and I help homeowners throughout Central Maine get rid of mice and rats and keep them from coming back.
The majority of rodent calls I receive involve:
Mice can fit through openings as small as a dime, making it easy for them to find their way inside homes, garages, and sheds.
Once inside, they often nest in insulation, wall voids, basements, and attics.
You may have a rodent problem if you notice:
Many homeowners hear rodents long before they actually see them.
Rodents don't just damage food.
They can:
What starts as one mouse can quickly become a larger problem.
Every home is different, so I start by finding where rodents are active and how they're getting inside.
My approach focuses on:
The goal isn't just getting rid of rodents today. It's helping keep them from returning.

Mice can squeeze through surprisingly small openings around foundations, utility lines, doors, and siding. Even brand new builds often have mice.
Mice can contaminate food and create unsanitary conditions inside the home.
Very quickly. A small problem can become a larger infestation in a matter of months.
As temperatures drop, mice begin searching for food, warmth, and shelter indoors.
Traps can certainly catch a few mice, but they often don't solve the root of the problem. If rodents are getting inside through gaps, cracks, or other entry points, new mice can continue finding their way into your home. I focus on identifying where they're entering, reducing active populations, and helping prevent future infestations.
Rats are incredibly smart and can be frustrating to deal with on your own. They often avoid poorly placed traps, learn from their surroundings, and may continue entering through hidden openings around your home.
Many homeowners spend weeks trying different traps and baits without solving the problem. I know what signs to look for, where rats typically travel, and how to target the source of the infestation so you're not just catching one rat at a time.
If you're hearing scratching, finding droppings, or seeing signs of rodents, I can help. Contact King Pest Solutions for rodent control in Maine.
