Schedule A Rodent Inspection

Call us for expert rodent control in Phoenix.

KY-KO provides rodent control across the Phoenix metro — including roof rats, the Valley’s most common rodent invader (activity peaks October–February), plus house mice and pack rats. We trap, remove, and seal entry points so rodents don’t come back, using pet-safe methods. Same-day service is available across the East Valley.

Our company has more than 20 years of experience removing mice, rats, and roof rats from homes and businesses in the Phoenix metro area. That’s why we back our work with a guarantee.

We deal with all types of mice and rats.

If you're noticing evidence of a rodent nest—like the one pictured—call us for rodent control here in Phoenix, AZ.

House Mice

These small rodents are a familiar pest that can breed and spread quickly in secluded places such as attics and inside walls. This makes them difficult to get rid of without professional help.

Roof rats are a major problem in Scottsdale, AZ, as they've invaded multiple neighborhoods in the East Valley.

Rats

Infamous carriers of disease, rats can be a nuisance in your home. Larger than mice, rats are hardy survivors who will travel far to find shelter and food. If you suspect you have rats, call us now.

If you have roof rats like this one, you need to give us a call for a free inspection and roof rat removal here in Phoenix.

Roof Rats

These rats travel from overhanging trees to your roof, where they’ll find shelter in your roof or attic. They’re common here in Phoenix, where citrus trees provide them a steady food source.

Pack Rats (Woodrats)

Pack rats build nests out of debris and are attracted to shiny objects. They’re common in desert areas and can damage vehicles and outdoor structures by chewing on wiring.

Risks of Rodent Infestations

Disease Transmission

Rodents carry diseases like Hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis, which can spread through droppings, urine, or bites, posing severe health risks to humans and pets.

Allergic Reactions

Rodent fur, droppings, and saliva can trigger allergies or asthma in sensitive individuals, especially children, worsening respiratory conditions.

Food Contamination

Rats and mice contaminate food and surfaces with pathogens, making kitchens and pantries unsafe and increasing the risk of foodborne illnesses.

Fire Hazards

Rodents gnaw on electrical wiring, creating a serious fire risk in homes and businesses if left unaddressed.

Structural Damage

Chewing on wood, insulation, and drywall weakens structural integrity, potentially leading to costly repairs over time.

Reputation Risks for Businesses

For commercial properties, rodent infestations can damage reputations, result in health code violations, and drive customers away.

How much does rodent control cost in Phoenix?

Our Process

Integrated-Pest-Management-Pest-Control-Rodent-Burrow

Free Inspection

Pinpoint the type of rodent (e.g., roof rats, house mice) and the severity of the infestation to customize the control strategy effectively.

Two rats inspect a log near a home.

Identification

Pinpoint the type of rodent (e.g., roof rats, house mice) and the severity of the infestation to customize the control strategy effectively.

KY-KO helps homeowners trap mice and rats, removing the current infestation before focusing on further prevention work.

Treatment

Implement targeted measures, such as traps, bait stations, or exclusion techniques, to remove rodents safely and effectively from the property.

One of our technicians prepares the materials and tools needed for our home sealing pest control service in Phoenix.

Prevention

Seal entry points, address attractants like food or clutter, and provide maintenance tips to ensure the infestation does not recur.

Roof Rats

Why sealing beats poison

Bait kills the rodents you have but does nothing to stop the next ones — and rodents that die in a wall cause lingering odor. Long-term control comes from exclusion: sealing the gaps rodents use to get in. Mice can squeeze through a gap about ¼ inch wide (roughly a pencil), and rats through about ½ inch (roughly a quarter). That’s why we finish every job with entry-point sealing, and for whole-home protection we offer our 25-step home sealing process.

Pet-safe and family-safe methods


We prioritize tamper-resistant, enclosed trap-and-exclusion methods over loose poison, so treatment stays safe around dogs, cats, and kids.
