Arterix Mice & Rat Control — Maryland, Washington DC & Northern Virginia

Mice and rats rarely stay a small problem. A few droppings under the sink become chewed wiring, soiled insulation and sleepless nights listening to the walls. Arterix Mice & Rat Control is the dedicated mice and rat control program of Arterix Pest Control, built for one purpose: to find how they are getting in, close those openings properly, and give you back the peace of mind of a quiet, clean home.

We serve homes and businesses across Montgomery and Prince George’s Counties, Washington DC, and Northern Virginia, from detached houses and DC row homes to offices and multi-unit buildings.

Why property owners choose Arterix

• Exclusion first. Trapping alone treats the symptom. We locate and seal the gaps, vents and utility openings that let mice and rats inside.
• A complete inspection. We trace activity from the foundation and crawl space to the attic and roofline, so nothing is left to guesswork.
• Attic restoration when needed. Where mice or rats have damaged insulation, we offer removal and insulation replacement.
• Owner-operated and accountable. Arterix is led by its owner, Art Stepanyan, with roots going back to 1982 and The Beekeepers.
• Licensed and insured. Maryland 29898 · Virginia 12539 · Washington DC 10065.
• Clear, written terms. You know the scope, the follow-up visits and the price before work begins.

How our mice and rat control works

1. Call and describe what you are seeing. Sounds at night, droppings, gnawing or a sighting. We will ask a few questions and schedule an appointment.
2. Inspection. A technician identifies whether you have mice, rats or both, maps activity and documents every entry point we find.
3. Written plan. You receive a clear recommendation covering exclusion, trapping and any attic or cleanup work, with pricing.
4. Exclusion and removal. We seal entry points with durable materials that mice and rats cannot chew through and remove the mice or rats already inside.
5. Follow-up. Return visits confirm activity has stopped and that the repairs are holding.

Frequently asked questions

Why do mice come back every fall?

As temperatures drop, mice look for warmth, and a mouse can pass through an opening about the size of a dime. Unless those openings are sealed, new mice keep finding the same way in. Exclusion is what breaks the cycle.

Do you handle rats in DC row houses and shared walls?

Yes. We regularly work in DC row homes, basements and buildings with shared walls, where rats often travel between properties. We focus on the openings that serve your property and explain what may need attention next door.

Is it a mouse or a rat?

Droppings size, gnaw marks, runways and where the activity is located usually tell us. Mice and rats behave differently, so the right answer shapes the entire plan, which is why every job starts with an inspection.

Can you repair attic insulation after mice or rats?

Yes. When insulation has been soiled or tunneled through, we can remove the damaged material and install new insulation once the mice or rats have been excluded.

What guarantee comes with the service?

Your guarantee and follow-up terms are set out in your written service agreement before work begins, so you know exactly what is covered.
