Identifying rodents in New Braunfels
House mice are 2–3" body, gray-brown. Roof rats are slender with long tails and live in attics. Norway rats are stockier with shorter tails and burrow at ground level.
Behavior & habitat
Mice need only a 1/4" gap to enter; rats need 1/2". They breed year-round, contaminate food, gnaw on wires (a major fire hazard), and travel established runways along walls.
Why rodents are a problem here
Carry Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis. Chewed wiring causes house fires. Droppings and urine contaminate insulation and stored goods.
New Braunfels seasonal outlook: Rodent calls climb from fall through winter as cooler nights push rats and mice toward food, shelter, and warmth.
Why New Braunfels homes get rodents
New Braunfels sits in Comal & Guadalupe Counties, where long triple-digit summers, mild winters, and sudden heavy rain give rodents a nearly year-round runway. Irrigation cycles, shaded landscaping, and standing moisture keep rodent activity high even when the yard looks dry, which is why our New Braunfels programs run on a schedule instead of a single visit.
Where they get in around here
On New Braunfels routes, our technicians track rodent activity back to unscreened crawlspace and foundation vents, roofline gaps, ridge vents, and overhanging tree limbs, garage door corner seals and worn side jambs, and utility and pipe entryways left unsealed. We treat those pressure points directly — targeted perimeter applications, void treatments, monitored bait or trapping placements, and exclusion work — so the population drops instead of shifting a few feet down the wall.
“Most New Braunfels rodent calls we run aren't a mystery — the conditions are right and nobody closed the gaps. We find the pressure point, treat it, then come back and verify. If it moves again, so do we, on our dime.”
Signs of a rodent problem
