Pest control services in Bethesda

Older Bethesda homes, mice and rats

Many Bethesda homes have stone foundations, crawlspaces, older vents and mature trees overhanging the roof. Mice and rats use every one of those gaps, and squirrels move into attics in the fall. Our exclusion-first approach seals entry points and, when needed, replaces attic insulation damaged by mice, rats or wildlife.

Construction, termites and trails

Ongoing renovation and teardown work in Bethesda disturbs soil and old wood, which can push termite colonies toward neighboring homes. Wooded corridors like the Capital Crescent Trail, Little Falls and Cabin John Stream Valley Park also keep mosquitoes and ticks active, so many Bethesda families pair a termite inspection with a seasonal mosquito program.

Mice and Rat Control in Bethesda

Arterix Mice & Rat Control is our dedicated mice and rat program, and we use it throughout Bethesda. That includes 1920s colonials in Edgemoor, Battery Park and Greenwich Forest, ramblers and newer homes in Bradley Hills, Wyngate and Wildwood, and condos and small businesses around Woodmont and the Woodmont Triangle. Older stone foundations, crawl spaces and dated vents leave openings about the size of a dime, which is all a mouse needs once the weather turns cold.

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 a Bethesda 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 to talk it through. We answer phones 24 hours. Service is by appointment.

Humane Wildlife Removal in Bethesda

Arterix Humane Wildlife Removal handles raccoons, squirrels and other wildlife in Bethesda attics, chimneys, crawl spaces, soffits and vents. Homes along the wooded edges near Cabin John Stream Valley Park, Little Falls, Kenwood, Burning Tree and Carderock are frequent calls, especially when mature trees hang over the roof and squirrels find a gap at the eaves.

We identify the animal, remove or exclude it humanely and within Maryland 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.
