Rodent Control for Virginia Beach Homes
When the first cool nights arrive, mice and rats start looking for a warm place inside, and Virginia Beach homes with vented crawl spaces are easy targets.
Our technicians remove the rodents already in and shut the doors they used to get there.
Fall is prime time for rodents around here, as dropping temperatures push them out of fields and marsh edges toward heated homes. Older neighborhoods like Thoroughgood have crawl spaces, soffit gaps, and utility penetrations that give rats and mice easy access. Once inside, they nest in attic insulation and chew wiring and stored boxes. A single pair breeds quickly, so a small problem grows over winter.
Our inspection starts at the roofline and works down through the crawl space, reading droppings and rub marks to map every gap rodents exploit. Trapping and removal clears the active population, then we seal entry points so new rodents cannot follow the same path. A little exclusion work now prevents next season's invasion. Free inspections come standard, and our quarterly plans start at $34 a month.

| What to compare | Universal Pest Control | Most pest control companies |
|---|---|---|
| UniGuard ProgramExclusive | Universal Pest Control Termite protection and full pest control combined in one membership for one low monthly payment — from $59/month, with the termite warranty and quarterly pest service included together. | Most pest control companies Termite protection and pest control are usually sold as two separate agreements, with two renewals and two bills to keep track of. |
| SmartPay financingExclusive | Universal Pest Control $0-down payment options on termite treatments, baiting systems, and repairs, so the work can start before payday. Simple, predictable monthly payments. | Most pest control companies Financing, where it is offered, is commonly arranged separately through a third-party lender. |
| Pest Guard Attic Insulation™Exclusive | Universal Pest Control Hampton Roads' only licensed Pest Guard Insulation™ installer, through our sister company Universal Insulation Doctor — insulation manufactured with an EPA-registered pest preventative, so the replacement itself resists the insects that ruined the original. | Most pest control companies Attic insulation is typically referred out, and standard fiberglass has no pest deterrent built into the material. |
| Total Home Health Network | Universal Pest Control Pest and termite control, attic insulation, and duct cleaning coordinated under one roof through the Universal family of companies — one point of contact for the whole job, done in the right order. | Most pest control companies Pest control only.

| Family owned & operated | Universal Pest Control Owned and run by a family that has lived in Hampton Roads their whole lives. The people who answer the phone and the crews at your door are your neighbors. | Most pest control companies Ownership varies — many local branches are franchises of national brands, with crews dispatched from outside the area. |
