Rodent Control & Extermination
Black Knight will safeguard your home against rats and mice. The service is four weeks long. Start with a FREE Rodent Inspection of your property. Getting a free estimate is the best way to understand the full scope of your pest problem.
1. Total Inspection
Black Knight Pest Control will do a total inspection of your property. We will determine the access areas the rodents are using. Finding every entry point is highly important for long-term success. Black Knight will inform the homeowner of any trees or bushes that need to be trimmed back or cut down. Roof rats easily use overgrown tree branches to climb directly onto your roof and enter your attic space.
2. Professional Exclusion Work
Black Knight Pest Control will exclude holes that the rats or mice might enter with expanding foam or hardware cloth. Sealing these gaps stops new pests from taking the place of the old ones. This physical barrier is a necessary part of all effective pest control services.
3. Exterior Baiting
To manage the population living outside your house, Black Knight Pest Control will place tamper-proof bait stations around the home. These stations target the rats and mice before they decide to move indoors.
4. Interior Trapping
Last Black Knight will install snap traps in the attic and glue boards or Tin Cats in the interior area as needed. We check and monitor these traps during our four-week service to make sure your home is totally clear.

Why Prompt Action Matters
Living in Temecula Valley means enjoying beautiful weather year-round. Sadly, that same weather allows pests to thrive. When the temperatures drop at night, rats and mice look for warm places to build their nests. Your attic and wall voids provide the perfect shelter. This makes pest control in Temecula a year-round necessity.
You do not want to ignore a pest problem. Those scratching noises in the walls will turn into chewed wires, which can cause electrical fires. Those droppings in the pantry contaminate your family's food supply. Taking fast action is the only way to protect your property value and your health.
Our highly trained exterminators know exactly where to look. They understand the behavior of local rodents. Roof rats prefer high places like attics and rafters. Norway rats prefer to burrow near the foundation. House mice can squeeze through a gap the size of a dime. We identify the specific species invading your space so we can apply the correct treatment plan.
We also recommend signing up for regular pest control services to maintain a strong barrier around your home. Regular maintenance prevents spiders, ants, and bed bugs from establishing colonies inside your living areas. If you travel frequently, bed bugs can easily hitch a ride in your luggage and infest your bedrooms. A proactive approach to pest control is always better than reacting to a massive infestation.
For homeowners worried about property damage, our termite control team is standing by. Termite inspections are a vital part of home ownership. Termites silently eat away at your framing 24 hours a day. We identify the early signs of termite activity and apply a targeted termite treatment to eliminate the colony.

Why is prompt action important for rodent issues in Temecula?
Rodents multiply quickly, and Temecula’s mild weather lets pests thrive year-round. Waiting can lead to chewed wires (a fire risk) and contaminated food from droppings. Quick action protects your health and property value, and Black Knight’s local experts identify the exact species (e.g., roof rats in attics, Norway rats near foundations, house mice squeezing through tiny gaps) to apply the right treatment fast.
Do you clean and sanitize attics, and can insulation be upgraded?
Yes. Black Knight can clean and sanitize attics to remove droppings and urine, reducing health hazards and discouraging new rodents. They also offer replacement with new borates and cellulose green insulation, which can improve energy efficiency and help deter future pest activity.
