Rat & rodent control in Langley, BC | ProPestClean Pest Control

Rat & rodent control built around Langley properties

Langley is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in BC, new homes, new roads, and constant landscaping. That means ants, spiders, and rodents exploit fresh mulch, irrigation, and fence gaps. We build plans that match your lot size and building type, from townhomes to acreage properties.

Rodents chew wiring, contaminate food, and keep households awake. Our specialists build an IPM plan around inspection first, then the control tools that fit what we find: snap trapping along walls and runways for immediate knockdown; food bait (blocks and secured stations) for sustained pressure outdoors and in protected placements; and liquid bait when rodents are avoiding traditional traps or stations.

Where the layout suits it, we may also use the Rat Vac motion-sensor system with a wet/dry vacuum for live capture along travel paths—especially for wary animals that sidestep ordinary traps. Every plan still ends with exclusion and follow-up, not a one-off catch.

Roof rats, Norway rats, and house mice use different routes: rooflines, utility penetrations, garage doors, floor drains, and overgrown perimeters. We look for droppings, gnaw marks, grease rubs, and burrows, then sequence control so you are not only removing individuals while the population rebounds.

For thorough proofing, add our plumbing smoke test ($125). We introduce smoke into plumbing and connected pathways to reveal unseen openings—gaps at pipe sleeves, under slabs, and in voids—so every hole that shows up can be patched, including the ones you would never find by eye alone.

Our sequence stays intentional: inspect inside and outside, close accessible exterior entry points, trap and bait what remains indoors, confirm the home is clear, then monitor outside so renewed activity is stopped before it becomes another indoor problem.

Local notes for Langley

Ants, spiders & perimeter programs

Spring and summer spikes are predictable. We combine exterior barriers with targeted interior work when needed.

Rodents in garages & shops

Stored feed, pet food, and cardboard attract mice. We seal entry points and place monitoring where pets and kids stay safe.

Commercial & industrial

Loading docks and storage yards need zero tolerance. We align service frequency with your operations and audit expectations.

Why Langley chooses us

Vancouver’s rodent pressure is year-round. We match the method to the site—snap traps indoors, food or liquid bait where animals are trap-shy, and smoke-tested proofing so rodents cannot keep using hidden pipe and void routes.

How service usually works

1
Inspect inside and outside
We identify the species, map droppings and gnaw marks, check nesting areas, and trace how rodents move between the exterior, plumbing penetrations, and the home. Our inspections use motion sensor cameras, a borescope, and a thermal camera to locate pest activity in voids, wall cavities, attics, and rooflines that a visual walkthrough alone can miss.
2
Choose the right control tools
We set professional snap traps on confirmed runways, place food bait in tamper-resistant stations where appropriate, and use liquid bait when rodents are trap-shy or pressure is high—always with pet- and family-aware placements.
3
Exclude—and smoke-test when needed
We close accessible openings around foundations, roofs, vents, garage doors, and utility lines. Add the $125 plumbing smoke test to reveal hidden pipe and void pathways so unseen holes get patched too.
4
Confirm the home is clear
We revisit activity points, adjust traps and bait, and look for fresh signs until there is no ongoing rodent activity inside the home.
5
Monitor outside
Exterior stations and monitoring around travel routes help find renewed activity outside before rodents make it back indoors.

Frequently asked questions

Do you use snap traps, food bait, and liquid bait?

Yes—every rodent control plan includes snap trapping, food bait, and liquid bait as needed, plus light dropping cleanup in accessible living areas. Your technician chooses the mix after inspection, with pet- and family-aware placements. Heavy attic/crawl remediation is quoted separately when needed.

What is the plumbing smoke test addon?

For $125 we smoke-test plumbing and connected pathways to expose unseen openings rodents use—pipe sleeves, under-slab gaps, and void routes you cannot spot during a visual walkthrough. Every hole that lights up can then be patched so exclusion is complete, not just the obvious gaps.

How do you prevent rodents from returning?

We combine trapping and baiting with exclusion: sealing entry points, reducing food and harborage, and optional smoke testing so hidden utility gaps get closed. We also leave clear prevention recommendations for ongoing control.

What is the Rat Vac you use?

We deploy the Rat Vac motion-sensor rodent catching system—the shop-vac–based station where bait draws rodents in and movement triggers suction into a wet/dry vacuum drum. Product details from the manufacturer: https://shoprodentfree.com/products/rat-vac-motion-sensor-rodent-catching-systems. We use it when placement, species behavior, and regulations make it the right tool alongside snap traps, bait, and proofing; your technician confirms fit at inspection.

Do you handle dead rodent removal?

Yes, we safely remove dead rodents and thoroughly clean affected areas to eliminate odors and help prevent disease transmission.

Are your methods pet-safe?

We use tamper-resistant stations, careful placements, and method selection around pets and children. Snap traps and bait are positioned away from pet access whenever possible; tell us about dogs, cats, or livestock at booking.

I hear scratching in the walls—what should I do?

Avoid sealing holes blindly before the population is controlled. We inspect first to locate access and activity, then combine snap trapping, baiting, and proofing so animals do not die inside voids.

Do you provide rat control in Burnaby?

Yes. Burnaby sees heavy rat and mouse pressure near greenbelts, lanes, and multi-unit buildings. We inspect for species, entry points, and food sources, then use snap traps, secured food or liquid bait, and exclusion—plus smoke testing when hidden plumbing routes are suspected—so populations do not rebound.
