Capitol Hill is almost all rowhouses: shared walls, English basements, brick alleys and tight yards between Lincoln Park, Eastern Market, Barracks Row and the streets around the Capitol. Arterix Pest Control helps Hill households with mice and rats, termites, roaches, bed bugs, wasps and humane wildlife removal. We are based in Rockville and we answer phones 24 hours.

Most Hill homes share at least one wall, and many have an English basement or a rental unit below. Mice, rats and roaches travel along party walls, pipe chases and rear alleys. We focus on the openings that serve your house, explain what may need attention next door, and seal what we can. If something is structural, we point it out so you can hire a contractor.
The alleys behind Eastern Market and Barracks Row, plus the older wood and brick around Lincoln Park, keep rats and termites in the picture. A few blocks south, Navy Yard and Capitol Riverfront are newer buildings with shared walls of a different kind. We work in both settings: historic rowhouses and newer condos.
Arterix Mice & Rat Control is our dedicated mice and rat program for Capitol Hill and the nearby Southeast waterfront. Rear alleys, basement walk-outs and shared utility lines are the usual paths in, and rats here do not wait for winter.
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.
Arterix Humane Wildlife Removal handles raccoons, squirrels and other wildlife in Capitol Hill attics, chimneys, crawl spaces and vents. Chimney caps and rear-ell rooflines are common entry points, and we also get calls from the blocks closer to Stanton Park, Lincoln Park and the waterfront.
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.
