Rodent Inspection & Exclusion in Schaumburg
Our interior and exterior inspections look for rodent traffic routes, concealed access points, and conditions that support activity. We identify foundation cracks and accessible gaps that should be sealed as part of a rodent exclusion plan.
Mice can enter through openings as small as 1/4 inch, while rats can use openings as small as 1/2 inch. Sealing entry points is a first line of defense against new activity, but the work must address the routes and openings present at the property.
We also provide sanitation recommendations for kitchens and storage areas where food, clutter, or accessible materials may attract rodents. When trapping or baiting is appropriate, we strategically place tamper-resistant stations based on the inspection findings.
Certified Technicians & Professional Treatment Standards
Our technicians are certified through the Illinois Department of Public Health and receive training from entomologist Dr. George Rotramel. That training supports a methodical approach to identifying rodent behavior, selecting treatment locations, and recognizing conditions that may contribute to recurring activity.
Illinois structural pest control businesses must be licensed by the Illinois Department of Public Health and employ at least one Illinois-certified structural pest control technician. We’re also a charter member of the Illinois Pest Control Association.
Our Rodent Removal Process
Rodent removal starts with a detailed property assessment. We look for droppings and other evidence, food sources, sheltered harborage areas, high-traffic routes, and hidden entry points before recommending treatment.
Our service process addresses two separate needs:
- Existing activity: We recommend strategic baiting or trapping based on the species, property conditions, and locations where rodents are traveling.
- Future access: We identify gaps, cracks, and other entry opportunities that should be addressed through rodent exclusion.
Because every structure has different access and activity patterns, our findings guide the treatment recommendation. We also explain the sanitation and exclusion steps relevant to the property rather than relying on trapping or baiting alone.
Rodent Treatment Safety Considerations
We focus on methods that minimize pesticide use while supporting long-term protection. Treatment selection and placement account for children, pets, employees, customers, and access to treated areas.
When appropriate, we place bait or traps in tamper-resistant stations. We use EPA-registered products and follow placement practices intended to avoid airborne hazards during service.
Sanitation and exclusion complement treatment by addressing food access, shelter, and entry conditions. We tailor our recommendations to how each household or workplace is used.

Aerex's Tips & Tricks
Signs That You Need a Rodent Inspection
Rodents can leave evidence even when you haven’t seen a live mouse or rat. An inspection can determine where they’re traveling and which property conditions need attention.
Common warning signs include:
- Droppings: Droppings can indicate active or recent rodent presence in an area.
- Gnaw Marks: Damage to food packaging, wiring, wood, or other materials may signal rodent activity.
- Movement Sounds: Scratching or scurrying in walls, ceilings, or attic spaces can indicate rodents moving through the structure.
- Nesting Materials: Shredded paper, fabric, insulation, or similar materials may point to a nesting location.
