If you're hearing scratching in the walls, finding droppings in your basement, or spotting chewed wires or food packaging — you may have a rodent problem. Mice and rats are rampant in Northern Virginia, and Falls Church is one of the most heavily affected areas due to its older homes, hidden crawlspaces, and close-together structures.
At Senate Termite & Pest Control, we’ve been eliminating rodents from Virginia homes since 1991. Here's what every homeowner in Falls Church, Arlington, Annandale, and Tysons Corner should know.
📍 Why Rodents Are a Problem in Falls Church
Rodents squeeze through gaps as small as a dime, especially:
- Around utility pipes
- Under garage doors
- Through attic vents
- Beneath porches and crawlspaces
They love the warmth of your insulation and the easy food access in your kitchen and pantry — and once inside, they breed fast.
🚨 Signs of a Rodent Infestation:
- Scratching or movement sounds in walls or ceilings
- Droppings near baseboards, food storage, or utility areas
- Chewed wires, food packaging, or insulation
- Greasy rub marks on walls and baseboards
If you’re seeing these signs in neighborhoods like Broadmont, Pimmit Hills, or Bailey’s Crossroads, it’s time to act fast.
❌ Why DIY Traps & Repellents Don’t Work

💡 Pro Tip:
Rodents leave behind pheromone trails, attracting more mice in the future — that’s why it’s critical to sanitize and seal the home after removal, not just trap.
