About Us — Rodent-Only Specialists in New Hope, MN
We’re a rodent-only pest management service focused on New Hope, MN and the surrounding area. We do one thing: find out how mice and rats are getting in, and permanently seal them out — not a general pest company that treats rodents as one job among fifteen.

Why We Focus on Rodents — and Only Rodents
New Hope incorporated in 1953 and most of its housing was built during the rapid growth of the 1950s and 60s. Older foundations, older rooflines, and additions built onto original homes all create more potential entry points than newer construction — and Minnesota’s freeze-thaw winters open new gaps every single year.
It’s a common story in pest control nationally: a general company sets a few traps, charges a flat fee, and moves on to the next pest on their list without addressing a single entry point. The rodents come back within weeks because nothing was actually sealed. We built this business to do the opposite — treat rodent problems as engineering problems, not just trapping jobs.
The Two Species Behind Nearly Every New Hope Call
House Mouse
Mus musculus
Minnesota’s dominant home-invading rodent. Breeds year-round and can fit through a gap about a quarter-inch wide. If you keep catching a few but they keep coming back, entry points — not traps — are usually the missing piece.
Norway Rat
Rattus norvegicus
Minnesota’s dominant rat species. A ground-level burrower found near foundations, garages, gardens, and compost piles. Exploits the same freeze-thaw seam openings every winter.
What We Do
Every service is rodent-specific. We don’t dilute training, materials, or scheduling across unrelated pests.
Mouse Removal
Inspection, trapping, and exclusion tailored to house mouse behavior.
Rat Control
Norway rat identification, burrow assessment, and foundation-level exclusion.
Rodent Exclusion & Sealing
Permanent entry-point sealing with steel mesh and metal flashing built for Minnesota winters.
Rodent Inspection
A written, photo-documented assessment before you commit to any treatment.
Where We Serve
New Hope also maintains 20 city parks and more than 200 acres of green space, and nearly every home in the city sits within a quarter-mile of a park. That’s great for walkability, but it also means most yards back up to green space, mature trees, or water — rodent habitat that borders the property instead of sitting miles away.
We’re based around New Hope, MN and also serve the immediately surrounding communities, including Crystal, Golden Valley, Plymouth, Robbinsdale, and Brooklyn Park.
What We Hold Ourselves To
- A written, photo-documented report for every inspection — not a verbal guess
- A written estimate before any work begins — you approve what’s done and what it costs
- Exclusion-first methods: trap and seal, not just scatter bait and leave
- Humane, pet-safe removal methods wherever possible
Minnesota requires companies that perform pest control for hire to be licensed as a Structural Pest Control Company through the Minnesota Department of Agriculture, with technicians holding a valid applicator license. It’s worth asking any company you’re considering — us included — about their licensing before work begins.
How We Work — Our 6-Step Process
1. Quick Phone Triage
We start fast — you tell us what’s happening (scratching sounds, where you hear them, time of day). We confirm kids/pets at home, gate codes, or access details, and ask for a quick photo of the problem area so our technician arrives ready.
2. Full Inspection & Photo Mapping
Our technician inspects your attic, crawl space, soffits, vents, garage, and foundation. Every entry point is tagged and photographed — no guesswork, no upsells. Each entry gets an A/B/C rating for severity and repair priority.
3. Transparent Plan & Estimate
You’ll receive a written photo report covering pricing, timeline, and repair priority, so you know exactly what’s recommended and why before any work begins.
4. Humane Removal & One-Way Exits
We install one-way devices and mechanical traps so rodents can leave but can’t re-enter. No attic poisons, no lingering odors — safe for families and pets.
5. Permanent Exclusion & Sealing
We close every entry point using steel mesh, metal flashing, winter-rated caps, and reinforced thresholds. No cheap foam — just long-term, weather-proof solutions built for Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles.
6. Sanitize, Restore & Monitor
After removal, we clean affected areas, treat for lingering odor, and restore insulation where needed. A follow-up check confirms traps are clear and entries remain sealed.
