What rodent species are most common in Fort Worth?

Roof rats are dominant in attics across older neighborhoods such as Fairmount, Ryan Place, and the TCU area. Norway rats take over alley-adjacent and creek properties near the Trinity River. House mice are active year-round in all Fort Worth ZIP codes. Eastern fox squirrels are common in neighborhoods with heavy oak canopy like Ridglea and Monticello.

Why do Fort Worth homes get rodents in fall?

There are two peak windows: late October, when overnight temperatures drop below 55°F and rodents move indoors, and early spring, when outdoor food sources run low. Pier-and-beam homes and brick veneer with open weep holes carry the highest risk.

Are your technicians licensed in Texas?

Yes. Every technician holds a valid Texas Structural Pest Control License (TPCL) from the Texas Department of Agriculture. Rodent Guard carries full commercial liability insurance and meets City of Fort Worth Code Compliance requirements for commercial jobs.

Do you use poison bait?

Rodent Guard doesn't rely on poison-only methods, since poison never fully eliminates a population and dead rodents inside walls create a second problem. Every entry point is sealed, active rodents are trapped and removed, and the work is then verified for a permanent fix.
