Fairway Lawns
Fairway Lawns offers rodent control that is built around real homes, real families, and real concerns. Our goal is simple to describe but important to do well. We find where rodents are living and how they are getting in, remove the ones that are already inside, and help you close off weak spots so the problem is less likely to return.

Hearing scratching in the walls at night. Finding droppings in the garage or pantry. Seeing something small dart along a baseboard and disappear before you can focus on it. Those moments are unsettling, and they usually mean one thing: rats or mice have moved in.
From the first visit, you can expect clear explanations, straightforward pricing, and technicians who treat your home with respect. Every recommendation is made with kids, pets, and day to day life in mind, so you can feel comfortable with the plan from start to finish.
Rodents follow opportunity. If your property offers shelter, food, and water, it is on their list.
Shelter can be stacked boxes in the garage, stored decorations in the attic, insulation inside walls, or thick plant beds along the foundation. Food might come from pet bowls, bird feeders, unsecured trash, crumbs in a pantry, or bags and boxes that are easy to chew into. Water can come from leaky spigots, low spots that stay damp, air conditioning drain lines, or pet dishes.
Changes in the area can also drive new activity. Construction, heavy landscaping projects, and demolition can disturb established nests and send rodents looking for new places to live. A home with a few small gaps suddenly looks very appealing when everything else around them is being disturbed.
It is easy to hope that a little scratching noise is nothing serious. The challenge is that rats and mice do not stay “small” for long. They breed quickly, and a minor issue can turn into a larger infestation in a short period of time if it is ignored.
While they are inside, rodents chew, nest, and leave droppings behind. Wiring, insulation, stored belongings, and sometimes flexible plumbing or drain lines can all be damaged. Odors from droppings and urine build slowly in hidden areas and eventually work their way into living spaces.
Taking care of the problem early helps in three ways. It keeps repairs smaller, makes cleanup more manageable, and reduces health concerns for everyone who spends time in the home. The sooner Fairway Lawns can inspect and treat, the easier it is to get ahead of the activity.
Step
1
Step 1: Inspection and Identification
Every good rodent plan starts with understanding what is happening in your home. Fairway Lawns technicians perform a careful inspection of the exterior, including the foundation, roofline, doors, and common entry points, then move inside to check areas like the attic, crawlspace where accessible, garage, basement, and utility rooms.
We look for droppings, gnaw marks, rub lines, nesting material, and the specific routes and openings rodents are using. Small gaps that seem harmless often turn out to be important. Our job is to find those details and put the full picture together.
We also identify which rodents are present. Roof rats, other rat species, and house mice may favor different areas and habits. Knowing who we are dealing with helps us choose the right traps, placements, and strategies.

Step 2: Removal and Initial Control
Once we understand how rodents are getting in and where they are traveling, we design a control plan that fits your home and your comfort level.
This plan often includes interior trapping along active routes and secured exterior bait stations where appropriate and allowed. In some homes, traps alone may be recommended indoors, with bait stations used outside only. In others, a combined approach is the best way to bring activity down quickly and safely.
Our goal is to remove rodents efficiently while keeping children, pets, and non target animals in mind. Devices are placed in protected locations or tamper resistant stations, then checked and adjusted on a schedule that matches the level of pressure around your home.

Step 3: Exclusion and Sealing
Lasting rodent control is not just about taking rodents out of the house. It also means keeping new ones from getting in. Fairway Lawns technicians identify and seal entry points using sturdy, rodent resistant materials.
Common problem areas include gaps around plumbing and electrical lines, worn or missing vent covers, spaces under doors or garage doors, cracks in foundations, and openings at the roofline where trim, soffits, or fascia meet the structure.
By closing these pathways, we make it much harder for new rodents to enter, even if they are still active in the neighborhood. Exclusion is one of the most important steps in preventing the same problem from repeating.

Step 4: Monitoring, Sanitation, and Prevention
Rodent control is usually a short series of visits, not a single appointment. After the initial setup and sealing work, Fairway Lawns returns as needed to recheck traps and stations, remove captured rodents, and fine tune placements based on what we see.
When requested, we can help with key parts of cleanup. This may include removing carcasses, addressing accessible droppings, and using appropriate deodorizing or sanitizing products to help reduce odors and improve hygiene. For heavy contamination or insulation damage, we can explain next steps and suggest specialized cleaning or insulation services if needed.
As activity slows down, your technician will walk through simple changes that make a real difference over time, such as storage habits, sanitation, and small exterior adjustments. For homes that face constant pressure, we can design an ongoing monitoring and maintenance plan so you are not dealing with rodents alone.
Professional service lays the groundwork for control. Small changes around your home help keep it that way. These steps work hand in hand with your treatment plan.
Look for light or air coming in around exterior doors and windows and install or improve weatherstripping and door sweeps where needed. Make sure window screens, vent covers, and foundation vents are in good shape and sit snugly.
Seal cracks and gaps in foundations and exterior walls. Use steel wool or metal mesh for larger openings and quality sealant for smaller cracks, especially where plumbing, electrical, and HVAC lines come through the walls.
Store pantry items, pet food, and bird seed in sturdy, airtight containers. Wipe up crumbs and spills quickly in kitchens, dining areas, and pet feeding spots. Try not to leave pet food out overnight if rodents are a concern.
Repair dripping faucets, leaky pipes, or irrigation issues. Empty buckets, trays, and other items that tend to hold water. Dry, well maintained areas are less inviting to pests of all kinds.
Keep mulch and dense vegetation a little distance away from the foundation to reduce hidden runways along the base of your home.
Trim tree branches and shrubs so they do not touch the roof or upper walls. Rodents use branches like bridges to reach attics and higher levels.
Make sure outdoor trash and recycling containers have tight fitting lids and stay closed between pickups. Manage compost and bird feeders so they provide less food for rodents.
In cooler months or during long periods of rain, rodents are more likely to look for warm, dry spaces indoors. This is a smart time to focus on inspections, sealing work, and careful storage before pressure builds.
As vegetation thickens in spring and summer, outdoor rodent populations may increase. Regular trimming, clutter reduction, and good housekeeping in garages, sheds, and storage spaces make it harder for rodents to settle in near your home.
Fairway Lawns rodent control services focus on the species most often found in and around local homes, including:
Rats, such as those that prefer attics, rafters, and higher areas, and those that stay closer to crawlspaces, basements, and ground level.
Mice, including house mice that live inside and around structures and field mice that move between outdoor cover and indoor nesting sites.
If you are dealing with other small rodents or nuisance wildlife, our team can inspect, explain what we can handle directly, and point you toward specialized help when that is the better option.
Effective control has three parts. Remove the rodents that are already inside, close off the entry points they use, and reduce food, water, and shelter that attract them. Professional service from Fairway Lawns adds expert inspection, well placed devices, and a prevention plan.
Service usually starts with a detailed inspection, followed by a plan that may include traps, secured exterior bait stations where appropriate, exclusion work, and scheduled follow up visits. Cleanup and sanitation steps may also be included or recommended based on what we find.
Cost depends on the size and layout of your home, how long rodents have been active, and how much exclusion or cleanup is needed. After inspection, we explain our recommendations and provide pricing before any work begins.
Professionals use a combination of methods, such as traps placed along active routes, secure exterior bait stations, and sealing off entry points. The exact mix depends on where rats are nesting and how they are moving through your home.
The fastest way is a focused plan that targets real travel paths and nesting areas rather than guessing. Properly placed traps, combined with sealing entry points and improving sanitation, will resolve most infestations much faster than occasional trapping.
Rodents are drawn by food, water, and shelter. Gaps in the exterior, accessible trash, pet food, bird seed, cluttered storage, and heavy vegetation near the house all make a property more inviting. Once they find an opening, they often stay close to those resources.
Mice can have several litters a year, with multiple pups in each litter. A small, unnoticed problem can become a larger infestation in a short period of time if it is not addressed.
Fairway Lawns builds rodent programs with safety in mind. Traps and stations are placed where children and pets cannot reach them, and any products used are applied according to strict label directions. Your technician will explain any simple precautions to follow while treatment is in progress.
Depending on rodent pressure and the type of property, we can provide follow up visits, re service options, or ongoing monitoring and maintenance programs. After inspection, we explain which approach fits best and what kind of coverage is included.
We can help with key parts of cleanup related to rodent activity and advise you on next steps if contamination or insulation damage is more extensive. When needed, we can recommend or coordinate specialized services for full remediation and insulation replacement.
If you are hearing noises in the walls, seeing droppings, or simply suspect that rodents are active in your home, now is the time to act. Fairway Lawns is ready to help with professional rodent control that focuses on both removal and prevention.
