Rodent Control in Benton, KY

Liberty Pest Control handles mice and rats in Benton and across Marshall County, from our Paducah office. Mice and rats are covered by every Liberty pest control plan, and all rodent problems start with a free inspection.

Outdoor faucets, gas meters, dryer vents and cable lines are common ways into a house for rodents, University of Kentucky Entomology says, and attic, roof and crawlspace vents should be covered with quarter-inch hardware cloth. For a Benton lake house that sits empty part of the year, those are the places to check before closing it up.

  2. Treatment

    • Seal entry pointsYour Service Specialist finds and seals the gaps mice and rats use to get in, like openings around pipes, vents and the foundation.
    • Bait stationsThey place tamper-resistant bait stations where rodents travel, like along the foundation and walls.
    • Traps indoorsThey set traps where mice and rats are active inside, like attics, crawlspaces and behind appliances.
  3. Follow-up

Huge shoutout to Liberty Pest Control for their outstanding service! Today Trei Bisher stopped by for our service, and the experience was top-notch from start to finish. First off, the truck pulled into the driveway and I have to say… WOW. The design looks fantastic. It’s clean, professional, and really shows that Liberty Pest Control takes pride in their presentation. But the service itself is what really stood out. Trei didn’t just show up and rush through the job. He took the time to touch base with me first to make sure he had all the correct information about what I needed. He clearly explained what he was going to be doing and even mentioned another service option they offer.. but in a helpful way, not pushy at all. Another thing I really appreciated was how respectful he was of my workspace. Since I work remotely, it was important that my day wasn’t interrupted. Trei moved efficiently from area to area, getting everything done without interfering with my work at all. Professional, respectful, and thorough service like this is exactly why companies like Liberty Pest Control stand out. If you’re looking for reliable pest control with great people behind the work, they’re definitely worth calling.

Trai came out for our initial inspection and was amazing! He provided us with all of the information we needed in order to move forward with booking quarterly inspections/treatment and he was super nice! If our experience with Liberty Pest Control will always be as great as it was with Trai today, then we are definitely looking forward to our future with them! Thank you so much, Trai! 100/10 recommend!

Liberty Pest Control provides wonderful service from start to finish! Their website is easy to use, making scheduling and managing appointments simple and convenient. Our technician, Gabe, was excellent. He arrived on time, was personable and professional, and took the time to walk me through the services he was performing. He was very thorough in his inspection and treatment, and I especially appreciated that he followed up afterward to explain what he found and answer any questions I had. I highly recommend Liberty Pest Control to anyone looking for reliable, friendly, and thorough pest control service!

Common questions

Are mice and rats covered by my plan?

Yes. Mice and rats are covered by every plan. All rodent problems start with a free inspection.

Where do mice get into a Benton lake house?

Around utility openings like outdoor faucets, gas meters, dryer vents and cable lines, through vents without screening, and under doors. Sealing those gaps is part of every rodent treatment.

How do mice get into a house?

Mice squeeze through very small gaps, like openings around pipes, vents, doors and the foundation. Rats need a slightly bigger opening but get in the same ways.

How can I keep mice out of my house?

Store food and pet food in sealed containers and keep counters clean. Seal gaps around pipes and doors, and keep firewood and clutter away from the house.
