Pest control services in Washington, DC

Four quadrants, many kinds of housing

Northwest has federal-era houses and leafy streets. Capitol Hill and much of Northeast are tight rowhouse blocks with shared walls and alleys. Southeast and the riversides mix older homes with newer apartments. Mice, rats, roaches and bed bugs move differently in each of those settings, so we look at how the building is put together, not just what you saw in the kitchen.

Rock Creek, the Anacostia and the park edges

Rock Creek Park, the Anacostia River, the National Mall lawns and the smaller triangle parks keep mosquitoes, ticks and stinging insects active in warm months, and they give squirrels and raccoons a path to rooflines. We offer seasonal mosquito and tick yard programs where they make sense, and we handle wildlife in attics, chimneys and crawl spaces humanely, then seal the openings.

Mice and Rat Control in Washington, DC

Arterix Mice & Rat Control is our dedicated mice and rat program for Washington, DC. We use it in Northwest rowhouses and English basements, on Capitol Hill and H Street, in Brookland and Bloomingdale, and in apartments and condos downtown and along the rivers. Shared walls, alleyways and old utility lines are the usual routes in, and rats stay active here year-round.

For mice, our standard plan is a three-step treatment. The published price is $800, due at the first visit, and a 1-year guarantee starts from the second treatment. We place bait stations, return in about two to three weeks to check them and seal the openings we can, then come back about six months later to confirm control is holding. If we find a major or structural gap, we point it out so you can hire a contractor. Arterix does not do that structural work. Disinfection and cleaning are optional extras and are not part of the $800 price.

Rats inside the home start with an inspection. We can walk through the steps by phone, then schedule from there. If mice or rats have soiled or tunneled through attic insulation, we can remove the damaged material and install new insulation once they are out. Call (800) 496-2337. We answer phones 24 hours. Service is by appointment.

Humane Wildlife Removal in Washington, DC

Arterix Humane Wildlife Removal handles raccoons, squirrels and other wildlife in DC attics, chimneys, crawl spaces, soffits and vents. Homes along Rock Creek Park, in Palisades and Cleveland Park, and near the Anacostia get regular calls, especially when a chimney cap or vent screen has failed and a raccoon or squirrel has moved in.

We identify the animal, remove or exclude it humanely and within applicable wildlife rules, and seal the openings that let it in. We check for dependent young before any animal is moved, and bat work is done only by exclusion and only when the season allows. Sealing entry points is part of the service. If insulation was damaged, attic restoration is available after the animals are out. Disinfection, cleanup and larger repairs are priced separately and are not included automatically.

See the Arterix Humane Wildlife Removal page for how a job is planned, or call (800) 496-2337.

How does mice and rat control work in a DC rowhouse?

For mice, Arterix Mice & Rat Control uses a three-step plan: bait stations on the first visit, a follow-up in about two to three weeks to check bait and seal openings we can, and a third visit about six months later. The published price is $800, due at the first treatment, with a 1-year guarantee starting from the second treatment. Disinfection and cleaning are optional extras.

Yes. Arterix Humane Wildlife Removal works on raccoons, squirrels and other wildlife in attics, chimneys, crawl spaces and vents. We remove or exclude the animal humanely, check for young, and seal the entry points. Insulation replacement is available after the animals are out. Disinfection, cleanup and larger repairs are extra.
