Identifying rodents in Schertz
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.
Schertz seasonal outlook: Rodent calls climb from fall through winter as cooler nights push rats and mice toward food, shelter, and warmth.
Why Schertz homes get rodents
Schertz sits in Guadalupe & Bexar 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 Schertz programs run on a schedule instead of a single visit.
Where they get in around here
On Schertz 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 Schertz 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
- • Droppings (small dark capsules) in pantries, cabinets, or attics
- • Gnaw marks on food packaging, baseboards, or wires
- • Scratching or scampering sounds in walls and attic at night
- • Greasy rub marks along walls where rodents repeatedly travel

- Yes. We use family-safe, environmentally conscious products applied at label rate and placed where children and pets don't go — cracks, voids, and the exterior perimeter. Treated interior surfaces are safe once dry, usually within an hour, and your technician will walk you through anything to avoid before leaving.
- When are rodents worst in Schertz?
- Rodent calls climb from fall through winter as cooler nights push rats and mice toward food, shelter, and warmth. Watch for these warning signs: Droppings (small dark capsules) in pantries, cabinets, or attics; and gnaw marks on food packaging, baseboards, or wires.
