Mice and rats bring more than a bad smell to a property. They gnaw through wiring, tear up insulation, contaminate pantry items, and carry pathogens that put your household or staff at real risk. Shieldguard Pest Control's rodent team pairs interior trapping with exterior bait programs and long-lasting exclusion repairs to clear out an active problem and lock the doors on future ones.

1 (855) 471-2673No two rodent situations in Ashland, NE look the same, so every plan we build starts with a close inspection, accurate identification, and treatment matched to what we actually find.
We walk the entire property looking for entry points, gnaw marks, runways, and nesting sites before we recommend any course of action.
Interior traps go exactly where inspection shows the heaviest activity, with regular visits to monitor, empty, and reset as needed.
We close gaps, cracks, vents, and pipe openings using materials tough enough that rodents can't chew back through them.
Locked, tamper-resistant bait stations placed around the building's perimeter thin out the population before it ever reaches your door.
Rodent problems in Ashland, NE rarely go away on their own. Under the right conditions, one mouse pair can produce dozens of offspring in a single year, and rats reproduce at a similarly fast pace. Once a colony settles inside a structure, numbers climb quickly while the damage to the building and the contamination of food storage areas keeps piling up. The health risk is real too, since rodents carry hantavirus, leptospirosis, salmonella, and other pathogens spread through droppings, urine, and bites.
Every Shieldguard rodent program begins with a detailed inspection that pinpoints not just where rodents are active but how they're getting in and what's keeping the population fed and sheltered. Rodents don't need much room to slip through. A mouse can squeeze through an opening the size of a dime, and a rat can manage a gap no bigger than a quarter. Typical entry points include pipe penetrations through foundation walls, damaged soffits, gaps around doors and garage entries, foundation cracks, and rooflines that haven't been sealed properly. Finding and closing these gaps is really the only fix that lasts.
Our approach works both fronts at once, the population already inside and the one still trying to get in. Indoors, we place traps at the specific spots where activity has been confirmed. Outdoors, locked bait stations around the perimeter cut down the pressure from rodents before they ever attempt entry. Working both sides together brings the population down faster than either method could manage alone.
Exclusion work is really what separates a lasting fix from a temporary patch. Our technicians use whatever material suits the specific spot, whether that's galvanized hardware cloth, copper mesh, concrete patch, or expanding foam reinforced with wire mesh, to permanently seal off every entry point we find. This is the step that keeps rodents from coming back once the active population is gone, and it's the single biggest factor in a lasting result. We document every repair so you have a clear record of exactly what was sealed and where.
Commercial buildings carry their own set of rodent risks tied to food storage, loading dock traffic, and constant door activity throughout the day.
