Ensure a Pest-Free Investment

Buying a home is one of the biggest financial and emotional investments you’ll ever make—so it’s essential to know exactly what you’re stepping into. While many buyers focus on structural integrity, plumbing, or roofing, one major issue often goes unnoticed: rodent infestations. Rats and mice can cause significant, hidden damage to insulation, wiring, HVAC systems, and even foundational elements of a property. Worse, they leave behind hazardous waste that can pose serious health risks for you and your family.

That’s where our Home Pre-Purchase Rodent Inspection comes in. Before you finalize your purchase, our expert team will conduct a thorough inspection of the attic, crawl spaces, insulation, walls, and entry points—the areas most prone to rodent activity. We’ll uncover signs of infestation, contamination, and vulnerability that most standard home inspections miss. Every inspection includes a detailed report with professional insights and prevention recommendations so you can make an informed decision with confidence.

Don’t let hidden rodents turn your dream home into an unexpected headache.

If you are purchasing a home and would like a pre-purchase home inspection for rodents, call Rodents Stop today.

Why Do You Need a Home Pre-Purchase Rodent Inspection?

A Home Pre-Purchase Rodent Inspection is crucial for uncovering any past, present, or potential rodent infestations before finalizing a property purchase. While general pre-purchase inspections evaluate the structure and condition of the home, they rarely address one of the most expensive and hidden threats: rodents.

At Rodents Stop, our specialized rodent inspection goes beyond the surface—we identify any signs of rat or mouse activity, damage in the attic, insulation, crawl spaces, and areas prone to entry. Rodents can cause thousands of dollars in repairs and pose serious health risks due to droppings, urine, and chewed wires. Knowing the rodent history of a property gives buyers the power to make smarter, safer, and more cost-effective decisions.

Do I Need Both a Building Inspection and a Rodent Inspection?

Yes, you absolutely do. While a building inspection is essential for identifying structural issues, it typically does not include a detailed rodent assessment. Rodent problems—such as contaminated insulation, chewed electrical wiring, and hidden nests in attics—often go undetected by general inspectors.

That’s why a dedicated Home Pre-Purchase Rodent Inspection is necessary in addition to a standard building evaluation. The two inspections serve complementary purposes: one ensures the building is structurally sound, and the other ensures it is rodent-free and healthy. Skipping the rodent inspection could leave you with unexpected cleanup, costly damage, and future pest control issues.

When Should You Schedule a Pre-Purchase Rodent Inspection?

A Home Pre-Purchase Rodent Inspection should be conducted before completing the property purchase. Ideally, this inspection happens during the due diligence or cooling-off period—after your initial offer but before closing the deal. This gives you time to:

  • Renegotiate the price based on inspection findings
  • Request necessary remediation or treatment from the seller
  • Or withdraw from the purchase if a severe infestation is discovered

By identifying issues early, you protect your investment and avoid the surprise of hidden rodent damage after move-in. When in doubt, schedule the rodent inspection as early as possible in your buying journey.

I had a recurrent problem of rats winding up in my attic and had tried a couple of other pest control services over a few years, with the problem always recurring after a short while. I decided to give Rodents Stop a try after reading some of the reviews here on Yelp. They came out and explained how the (essentially temporary) measures I'd taken before would never really keep the rats away for good, due to the scents/pheromones that were remaining in my attic (leading them to keep trying to find ways in).

For months I denied the overwhelming reality-I had a major rat infestation! And all my efforts to quell the populating rodents were in vain. After the rats had chewed into my couch trying to get the food left behind by my kids, that's when I knew the problem was bigger than I could handle by myself. All the rat traps, from mechanical to electronic were no match for nature biggest little beasts. It was like trying to get Miley Cyrus to just go away, it's just not gonna happen.

If you have a rodent problem, these are the guys to call! The lifetime guarantee is amazing; what better way to eradicate rodents and make sure they stay gone forever. They check the entire perimeter of your home--top to bottom--to ensure it is completely closed off to any future unwanted guests. They will make as many house calls as needed to address customer concerns. Seriously, give these guys a call. You won't regret it!

These guys really know what their doing. I had an ongoing problem for about 6 months, I could not sleep at night, my dog was driving me crazy. They came out and did their famous rodent treatment. No noises for about a month. Thank you guys.

Zeev, Heather, Ivan and the rest of the team are fantastic! We knew there was some rodent activity in our attic, but didn't do anything about it until the nasty critters got into our home and actually chewed a hole in the hard plastic elbow of our dishwasher drain line! We called Rodent Stop, and Zeev came out for an inspection and gave us a quote the very next day. We were relieved to have a plan of attack, and Ivan and his team took over the next morning. They started early, and by mid-afternoon had cleared away all evidence of the rodent activity (including all the scent trails). In addition to getting rid of the existing evidence, the team had patched up all of the access points, and left some traps in all the areas that had shown prior signs of activity to avoid future activity. It has been a week, and we are ecstatic with the results. While we heard some scratching activity the first few days (which was likely coming from outside where Ivan's team had patched some access points), the scratching has now ceased. Zeev came back yesterday, and confirmed that all of the "inside" traps -- i.e., those in enclosed spaces (i.e., our living quarters, the attic and crawlspace) -- remain armed and undisturbed, which indicates to us that the patching did the trick. The only trap that went off is in an outdoor shed that needs overall repair, and can't be made rodent proof at this time. That trap did catch one mouse, which was removed and the trap replaced. Assuming there is no further activity between now and Friday, we'll move forward with the new insulation in the attic, and be done -- all in very short order. Thanks Rodent Stop!!!

Rodents Stop made a lot of promises when they first came out, I thought it was to good to be true but wow, what an amazing service. From the office staff to the employees actually doing work. My problem was on going for about 2 years, I know right, who would deal with something for that long, the truth is that I tried other companies and they really didn't do much. Not to mention they didn't solve my problem. All other companies know how to do is set traps, they don't clean up, they don't seal openings, and they don't spray for disease. Also no one offers a life time guarantee like rodents stop. I like that. I feel like I just moved into a new house. It's been 2 months now and I'm actually getting some sleep at night. No dead rats in traps, no flies, nothing to do with rats or mice what's so ever. Thanks Rodents stop.

I emailed them a couple of times desperate for service. It says they service the Los Angeles area (which should include Bellflower). I'm disabled and live alone with my small dog. I've been fighting mice for 2.5 years but am in desperate need for someone who really knows what they are doing and has a lifetime warranty because my dog and I have become infested with some kind of parasites that the mice brought in. I have several lesions and a huge infection on my back from the parasites. I left them my email and phone number with no response. I can't find another company with their experience, ratings, and guarantee and I'm really desperate for help and really disappointed they haven't contacted me. Again I emailed you last night, and got zero response today. I don't get it. As long as I give you the review you want, you ignore me? But as soon as you don't like my rating, you'll move heaven and earth to talk to me??

We're selling our house and we needed to get take care of the mess that rats had done to our attic. Zev came out the next day and gave a fair quote for the job. The Rodents Stop crew came out the day after and took care of cleaning and patching the whole house in a timely manner. They were all very professional and very thorough. Heather on the phone was extremely delightful to deal with also. I highly recommend them!
