American Rat Control Reviews
Why 45,000+ Los Angeles Homeowners Trust Us
"Found the source that others missed." "We had tried many different companies and still had rodents. Eric from American Rat Control came in and found the main source of entrance—an unblocked pipe from the sewer. They patched dozens of tiny holes the rats were squeaking through and continued to check until they were all gone. They truly get the job done right."
— Debbie L.
"Professional, punctual, and permanent." "I have been using American Rat Control since 2006. They are incredibly professional, show up on time, and have great attitudes. The best part is they really do get rid of the rats for good. They maintain 15 of my properties and I no longer have any rodent problems. I highly recommend them!"
— Lisa B.
"The only ones who correctly identified our issue." "We had a difficult job and Eric was the only one of three companies who correctly identified our issue and gave a fair estimate. He and his team worked systematically until the job was complete as discussed. Honest, professional, and a job well done."
— Robert H.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my Pasadena home suddenly under attack by rodents?
Pasadena’s unique combination of historic homes with aging foundations, lush hillside landscaping, and mature fruit trees makes it a paradise for rodents. Roof rats are particularly common here, using overgrown branches to reach your roofline. Seasonal changes—either extreme heat or recent rainfall—often push them indoors seeking stable shelter, food, and water. Our comprehensive inspection will identify exactly what is attracting them to your property.
Are the rodents in my house dangerous?
Yes. Beyond the initial disgust, rodents pose significant health and structural risks. In the Pasadena area, common house mice, roof rats, and Norway rats can carry diseases such as Salmonella, Leptospirosis, and in more rural hillside areas, even Hantavirus through their droppings, urine, and nesting materials. Structurally, their need to gnaw can strip electrical wiring, creating a real fire hazard, and destroy attic insulation.
Can I just set some traps and solve the problem myself?
While traps can remove the rodents currently inside, they do nothing to address the root cause: how they got in. Rodents can reproduce extraordinarily fast; a few missed mice can become a new infestation within weeks. Our 4-Step Process is designed for permanent elimination. We remove the existing population and seal the entry points, which is the only way to guarantee they don't return.
I heard scurrying noises in my ceiling. How long will the exclusion process take?
The exclusion step (Step 2: Seal All Entry Points) is highly specialized and its duration depends on the size and complexity of your property. Older Pasadena homes often require meticulous inspection of vents, foundation gaps, and utility penetrations. Typically, the actual sealing work can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Our goal is to make your home a fortress against future invasions.
Is American Rat Control a local company, and do you know the specific challenges of the Pasadena area?
Yes! American Rat Control is locally owned and operated. Our team has extensive, specialized experience dealing specifically with the unique rodent challenges of Pasadena. We understand how the aging architecture, specific tree species, and local climate patterns (such as our dry seasons and heavy winter rains) affect rodent behavior in this area. We are a local service provider; we are your neighbors, committed to solving the pest problems that affect our community.
My attic is filthy from the infestation. Do you handle the cleanup?
Yes. This is a crucial, often-overlooked step that we include in our process (Step 4: Attic Cleaning & Sanitation). Rodents leave behind hazardous pheromones in their urine and droppings that can attract new rodents long after the original population is gone. We perform deep cleaning and complete sanitation of contaminated areas, removing droppings and damaged insulation to restore the hygiene and safety of your home.
What is the typical cost of professional rodent control in Pasadena?
Because every infestation is unique, there is no single "flat fee." Cost is determined by several factors: the severity of the infestation, the size and age of your home, the specific rodent species (mice vs. rats), and the extent of required exclusion work and sanitation. The best way to get an accurate, no-obligation estimate is to schedule our complete assessment, where we will diagnose the exact scope of the work needed for your specific situation.
Does your process include any guarantees or warranties for the service provided?
Absolutely. We stand firmly behind the effectiveness of our 4-Step Process. We offer a comprehensive guarantee on our Exclusion Services. When we seal the potential entry points, we warranty that work. If rodents happen to break back in through any of the openings we sealed during the warranty period, we will return and re-seal them at no additional charge to you.
