Rodents can damage homes by chewing through electrical wiring, causing fire hazards. They also gnaw wooden beams, making your home structure unstable. To make their nests, these pests remove insulation, carpet, drywall, and anything else. They enter pantries and raid food sources, contaminating those areas and costing you money. Rats and mice also leave feces and urine throughout your home, transmitting diseases.<\/p>\n<p>The rats and mice roaming our Portland neighborhoods are the Norway rat and the house mouse, even though there are nearly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/myodfw.com\/wildlife-viewing\/species\/rats-and-mice\">30 species of rodents<\/a>\u00a0in our area. Critter Control understands the habits and habitats of rats and mice to control their population on your property. This is important since rats and mice multiply five or more times a year and give birth to at least five babies in each litter. Before your\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/wildlife\/rodents\/\">rodent problem<\/a>\u00a0multiplies, call us.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"icon-cards\" aria-label=\"icon cards\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n                        <article class=\"col-md-4\" aria-label=\"Inspection\">\n            <div class=\"icon-card-item\">\n              <div class=\"icon\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                  src=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/crittercontrol\/crittercontrol\/media\/CritterControl\/Office Finder Refresh\/Icon_HomeInspection.svg\"\n                  alt=\"House with a magnifying glass icon\">\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"content\">\n                <h2 class=\"headline\">Inspection<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p>During a rodent inspection, we thoroughly inspect your attic and provide a complete exterior home inspection.

They consume thousands of insects every night, making them essential for the ecosystem. But if you have a source on your property that attracts thousands of insects, you won\u2019t find them so necessary. They will be annoying. Wherever they find food and water, they will find shelter nearby, whether in your home or another structure on your property.<\/p>\n<p>If you already have a bat problem, then you know they can be loud, and their waste is smelly and toxic.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/wildlife\/bats\/bat-guano\/\">Bat guano<\/a>\u00a0contains uric acid and can corrode wood and metals. It can also stain the side of your home permanently.<\/p>\n<p>Because bats carry diseases, it is never a good idea to try and remove bats by yourself. Instead, call our professionals. We know how to remove bats properly. We also understand the laws regarding mating and maternity season, which are times when removing bats and their babies is illegal due to their federal and state protections.<\/p>\n\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"icon-cards\" aria-label=\"icon cards\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n                        <article class=\"col-md-4\" aria-label=\"Inspection\">\n            <div class=\"icon-card-item\">\n              <div class=\"icon\">\n                <img decoding=\"async\"\n                  src=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/crittercontrol\/crittercontrol\/media\/CritterControl\/Office Finder Refresh\/Icon_HomeInspection.svg\"\n                  alt=\"House with a magnifying glass icon\">\n              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"content\">\n                <h2 class=\"headline\">Inspection<\/h2>\n                <div class=\"desc\">\n                  <p>We perform a full interior and exterior inspection and search for signs such as rub marks, guano, a strong scent of ammonia, and small openings.

We can also install protective screens on chimneys and vents. We can also remove nesting materials and accumulated droppings, then clean surface stains. We can use netting over fruit and vegetable crops and water basins. Netting can also be used in car ports, building overhangs and food courts. We also install a large number of different types of roof ledge barriers too.<\/p>\n\n                <\/div>\n              <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/article>\n\n                  <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"cta-banner-wrapper row  alt alt2 \">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"row\">\n      <div class=\"col-xs-12\">\n        <div class=\"cta-banner\">\n          <div class=\"cta-banner-content\"><p>Call to Schedule an Inspection<\/p>\n<\/div>\n          <a\n                        href=\"tel:\"\n                        class=\"cta-phone-link\">\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\">\n              <use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.crittercontrol.com\/wp-content\/themes\/crittercontrol-2.0\/resources\/img\/svg-legend.svg#icon-phone\"><\/use>\n            <\/svg>\n            <div class=\"cta-phone-link-wrapper\">\n              <div class=\"cta-phone-link-num\">\n                                  <span>(503) 966-8244<\/span>\n                              <\/div>\n              <div class=\"cta-phone-link-text\">(No Cats &#038; Dogs)<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n          <\/a>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n<section class=\"checkmark-callout\" aria-label=\"checkmark callouts\">\n  <div class=\"container\">\n    <div class=\"section-intro\">\n      <h2 class=\"section-title\">The Critter Control Difference<\/h2>\n\n    <\/div>\n                  <div class=\"checkmark-callout-item\">\n          <div class=\"icon\">\n            <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"check\"\n                 class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-check fa-w-16\" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"\n                 viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\">\n              <path\n                d=\"M173.898 439.404l-166.4-166.4c-9.997-9.997-9.997-26.206 0-36.204l36.203-36.204c9.997-9.998 26.207-9.998 36.204 0L192 312.69 432.095 72.596c9.997-9.997 26.207-9.997 36.204 0l36.203 36.204c9.997 9.997 9.997 26.206 0 36.204l-294.4 294.401c-9.998 9.997-26.207 9.997-36.204-.001z\"><\/path>\n            <\/svg>\n          <\/div>\n          <div class=\"desc\">\n            <span class=\"title\">Benefits of Hiring a Professional<\/span>\n            <span class=\"text\">Hiring a professional usually will save you time and money in the long run.
