Mouse and rat removal and exclusion for homes and businesses in Helena, Pelham, Hoover, Birmingham, and the surrounding areas.
Hearing scratching in the walls or finding droppings in the pantry is never a good feeling. Mice and rats contaminate food, chew through wiring and insulation, and multiply fast once they settle in. When the weather cools off in Central Alabama, rodents start looking for warm places to nest, and your attic, garage, or crawl space is often the easiest option. Once inside, a few mice can quickly turn into a much bigger problem.
It does not take a big opening to let them in. A mouse can squeeze through a gap about the size of a dime, and a rat through a hole about the size of a quarter. Common entry points include gaps around pipes and utility lines, damaged vents, garage doors that do not seal, and openings along the roofline. Rats can also climb trees and wires to reach your roof and attic.
Watch for signs like small dark droppings, gnaw marks on food packaging or wood, greasy rub marks along walls, shredded paper or insulation, and noises at night. Empower Pest Solutions inspects your property to find how rodents are getting in and where they are nesting. We remove the rodents already inside, then focus on exclusion by sealing entry points so new ones cannot follow.
That combination of removal and exclusion is how we treat the source and give you long-term protection instead of a quick fix. We are Birmingham’s woman-owned and operated pest control company, licensed and insured, with 10 years of experience. Rodent control is part of both our residential pest control and commercial pest control services.

We seal the gaps and openings rodents use so new ones cannot get back in.
Common signs include droppings, gnaw marks, greasy smudges along walls, shredded nesting material, and scratching or scurrying sounds, especially at night. Rat droppings are larger than mouse droppings.
Mice and rats use small gaps around pipes, vents, utility lines, garage doors, and the roofline. A mouse can fit through a hole about the size of a dime, so even small openings matter.
Exclusion means sealing the openings rodents use to get inside. It is the key to long-term control, because removing rodents without closing entry points just leaves room for new ones to move in.
