Rodent Extermination in Peoria
Seen Signs of Rodents? Get an Interior & Exterior Evaluation
Droppings, gnaw marks, shredded nesting material, stale odors, and scratching inside walls may signal mice or rats. Professional rodent control looks beyond visible evidence to evaluate current activity, possible entry points, nesting areas, and conditions contributing to the infestation.
At Pest Authority of Peoria, IL, we evaluate the interior and exterior before recommending a protocol. As a locally owned and operated business, we account for the rodent type and degree of infestation rather than applying the same response to every property.

How We Inspect Your Home for Rodent Activity
Mice and rats can enter attics, basements, crawl spaces, and garages, where they may damage wiring, insulation, and stored belongings. Because mice can fit through openings about one-quarter inch wide, likely access points aren’t always obvious from the living area.
Our protocol varies based on the evidence, infestation level, and rodent type. We inspect the interior and exterior for activity, likely entry points, and conditions that may attract or shelter rodents.
An evaluation may consider areas such as:
- Attics and crawl spaces: Nesting material, droppings, disturbed insulation, and access around vents or rooflines.
- Basements and garages: Gaps near foundations, doors, stored items, and utility lines.
- Kitchens and utility areas: Disturbed food, gnaw marks, appliance voids, and wall penetrations.
- Exterior areas: Openings around doors, windows, foundations, vents, and building utilities.
Understand the Findings & Recommended Next Steps
After the inspection, our technicians explain what they found and recommend treatment in everyday language. We also discuss treatment placement and any short-term household precautions that apply.
Our 100% satisfaction guarantee keeps your home covered between services, with free retreatments when pests return before the next scheduled visit. Service plans reflect the pest issues and seasonal patterns affecting your property.

How to Recognize Rodent Activity Around Your Home
Before an inspection, note where you find droppings, gnaw marks, nesting material, or disturbed food. Record when scratching or scurrying occurs and whether it seems concentrated in the attic, basement, garage, crawl space, kitchen, or a particular wall.
Cold Illinois weather can drive mice toward buildings for shelter, making indoor activity more noticeable as temperatures fall. A single sighting doesn’t reveal the size of an infestation, but the location and frequency of the evidence can show where further evaluation is needed.
Rodent urine, droppings, and saliva can expose people to pathogens. The CDC advises against sweeping or vacuuming contaminated material while it’s dry because doing so can send particles into the air. Follow current cleanup guidance for disinfecting and removing waste, especially when contamination is extensive.
Reduce Food, Water and Shelter That Attract Rodents
Effective rodent control often uses integrated pest management, which combines inspection, access reduction, sanitation, monitoring, and carefully selected control methods. You can support prevention by securing food and garbage, reducing clutter, and addressing water sources. Check for gaps around foundations, doors, vents, utility lines, attics, basements, and crawl spaces.
