If you have started seeing droppings, hearing scratching in the walls, noticing gnaw marks, or finding fresh mounds in your lawn, you are not alone.

Safe Rodent Treatments 

One of the biggest worries people share with us is how rodent removal will affect their children, pets, or sensitive environments. You want mice, rats, and gophers gone, but you do not want to bring something into your home, workplace, or yard that makes you uneasy. We understand that concern, and we plan our treatments so you do not have to choose between comfort and safety.

During your inspection and service, we explain what we are using, why we chose it, and any simple steps you should follow afterward, such as keeping certain areas clear or watching for specific signs. Because we focus on communication, you are never left guessing. If you have questions about how a product works, how long it stays in place, or what to expect in the days after service, we walk through that in everyday language so you can feel fully comfortable with the plan.

We follow a clear, step-by-step process so you always know where things stand and what comes next. Our goal is to move from worry and guesswork to a simple, understandable plan that fits your home, business, and yard.

Here is how our process typically works:

• Inspection and identification. We start with a careful look around your property, focusing on the areas where you have noticed activity and the likely entry points or burrows rodents may be using. Inside, we look for droppings, nesting materials, damage, and access routes used by mice and rats. Outside, we check for gopher mounds, tunnels, and soil disturbance.
• Clear explanation of findings. After the inspection, we walk you through what we found in everyday language. We point out evidence, discuss what type of rodent activity we believe is present, and answer your questions about what it means for your home, workplace, or landscape.
• Tailored treatment plan. We then outline a plan that fits your space, your concerns, and the level of activity we observed. This can include targeted treatments, trapping strategies, gopher control methods, and recommendations for sealing or cleaning specific areas.
• Thoughtful application. When we carry out treatments, we do so with safety and comfort in mind. We plan placements carefully and let you know what to expect afterward, including any short-term changes in foot traffic in certain rooms, storage areas, or parts of your yard.
• Follow up and long-term support. Many rodent and gopher issues benefit from follow-up visits. We check progress, make adjustments, and talk with you about prevention, so the work we do together keeps protecting your property.

We provide this process for homes, offices, yards, and other commercial properties, so you can work with a single team across all your properties. We also back our work with a satisfaction guarantee. If you are not happy with the progress within the service plan, we will continue working with you until you are.

Common Rodent Problems In Our Area

Living and working in this part of Utah brings its own set of rodent challenges. Fields, open land, irrigated yards, and new construction can all influence how and where rodents try to move into buildings and soil. When temperatures drop or food sources change, mice and rats often look for gaps in foundations, garage doors, and utility lines that lead into homes and workplaces, while gophers search for soft ground where they can tunnel and feed on roots.

In Bluffdale and nearby communities, we frequently see rodents in basements, crawl spaces, garages, and storage rooms. They may build nests in insulation, chew on wiring, or move through drop ceilings in commercial buildings. In yards, gophers can create raised tunnels and mounds that damage turf, create tripping hazards, and stress plants and trees.

Addressing these issues early can help you avoid bigger problems. Rodents can contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine, and chewing on wires or building materials can create costly damage. Gophers can weaken root systems and leave the ground uneven. By understanding how rodents move through properties in this area, we efficiently locate their routes and hiding places and put a plan in place that fits the way your home, business, and yard are built.

What To Do When You See Signs Of Rodent Activity

When you first notice possible rodent or gopher signs, it can be hard to know how serious the situation is. You might see a few droppings in a pantry, hear a faint sound in a wall, find an unexpected hole in a storage box, or spot fresh soil mounds and raised tunnels in your lawn. Taking a few simple steps right away can help you protect your space and provide clearer information when you contact us.

Practical steps you can take before we arrive include:

• Look for patterns in activity, such as certain rooms, corners, storage areas, or sections of the yard where you see droppings, mounds, or nesting material.
• Secure food sources by storing pantry items, pet food, and bird seed in sturdy, sealed containers so rodents have less to feed on.
• Avoid placing over-the-counter poisons where kids, pets, or employees could reach them, and be careful about traps in high-traffic areas or open parts of the lawn.
• Take a few photos of the signs you see, such as droppings, damage, or gopher mounds, so you can show them to our technician during your free inspection.

You do not have to wait until the problem feels big. Rodent and gopher activity often starts small and then grows as animals find reliable food and shelter. Reaching out early allows us to assess the situation and explain what is happening before damage or contamination becomes more extensive. When you contact Standard Pest Control, we schedule a free inspection and work to respond within 24 hours so you are not left wondering what to do next.
