Mice, rats, moles, and other nuisance wildlife pests really love making themselves at home in our spaces. They sneak in through tiny gaps and cracks, vents, or even an open door. Oftentimes, we end up with an infestation because we haven’t sealed up those potential entry points or haven’t kept things clean inside and out.
The solution to your pest problem starts with a call to Action. Backed by 79+ years of wildlife and pest control services, Action Pest Control has the expertise and resources necessary to tackle your nuisance pest problem, no matter how severe it may be.

Our rodent control programs are designed to eliminate any rodent infestation while helping you maintain a pest-free environment. Our services include:
1. Inspection
A thorough inspection is conducted to properly identify the species, their preferred habitats, and to determine the extent of the infestation accurately. Follow-up inspections are also conducted to determine if elimination was successful.
2. Treatment
Action will implement a treatment protocol based on the specific rodent, which is suited for the home. Action relies on non-chemical rodent control methods, including varying trapping methods for those with children and pets present. Rodent baiting is another effective technique used by Action to get rid of mice and rats. Our rodent control services’ frequency varies but is typically performed on a bi-monthly or quarterly basis in residential settings.
3. Minor Rodent Exclusion
Also known as pest proofing, minor exclusions are performed as permitted by the homeowner to eliminate entry points and harborages. Conditions that could contribute to a rodent infestation include excessive vegetation on the exterior, improperly stored food, and improperly sealed garbage.
Once they’re in, these little critters can pose serious risks to our health and property. Mouse droppings look like tiny grains of rice, while rat droppings are larger and can easily contaminate food and surfaces. Plus, rodents are notorious for causing damage — they’ll chew through food, personal belongings, and even your home’s building materials. They have a knack for gnawing on support beams and electrical wires, which can lead to fire hazards. So, keeping them out is definitely a priority!
Plus, rodent infestations can lead to other pest problems with stored pantry pests like Indian meal moths. At Action Pest Control, we understand the dangers house mice, deer mice, Norway rats, and roof rats can cause. That is why we offer residents in IN, KY, and IL effective rodent control solutions for their properties.
Identifying the signs of a rodent problem early can save homeowners in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, from significant damage and health risks. Common indicators of a rodent issue include:
In Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, where rodents like rats and mice are prevalent, it’s vital to stay vigilant.
When it comes to pest control, distinguishing between rice weevils and rats is crucial for effective management. In Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, rice weevils are a common household pest, often found infesting grains and cereals. They are small, about ⅛ inch long, with a distinct elongated snout and a dark brown or black body, sometimes featuring reddish-brown markings. These pests typically thrive in stored food, leading to damage in pantries and food storage areas.
In contrast, rats, particularly the Norway and roof rat species, are significantly larger, ranging from 7 to 18 inches in length, including the tail. They have robust bodies, large ears, and long tails. Their fur is generally brown or gray. While rice weevils can be identified by their presence in food items, rats often leave droppings, nests, and evidence of gnawing around your home. If you’re in Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky, knowing the difference between these pests can help you seek the right treatment from Action Pest Control before an infestation takes hold.
Moles’ constant burrowing can destroy grass, flower beds, and tree roots. If you’ve started seeing the telltale signs of mole infestation, you should call a professional mole removal expert immediately for help. Only a professional service will be able to identify the source and ascertain the severity of your mole problem before using a methodical approach to eliminate the mole presence around your property.
The professionals at Action Pest Control know exactly how moles operate and what it takes to stop them. Between our industry-leading technology and our winning methodology, there is no mole problem too big for us to solve. We offer no-obligation inspections.
A lot of time and effort goes into maintaining a healthy lawn and attractive landscaping. Unfortunately, moles work just as hard to destroy it!
You may not even notice the damage at first because these lawn pests work underground. They tunnel their way through the soil, looking for worms and other insects to eat and feed their growing population. With the ability to tunnel up to 18 feet per hour, eventually, this behavior becomes devastating to your lawn and landscaping. If your yard needs relief from moles and other lawn pests like voles, Action Pest Control can help!
Our mole removal process includes the following:
1. Property Survey
To begin, your service consultant surveys your property to determine if moles are indeed behind the damage to your lawn. While there, we also define the extent of the problem, map out any mole activity, and explain the best course of treatment.
2. Initial Treatment
We utilize the most advanced products and techniques so you can have peace of mind knowing your lawn is free from moles and your family and pets will not be affected. Action Pest Control uses baiting products that mimic earthworms, the preferred food source for moles. Bait is carefully placed underground in only the active mole runs to help protect household members and pets.
3. Follow Up Treatment
Within a few days of the initial treatment, your technician will return to inspect the existing mole tunnels, identify any new locations where moles may be present, and treat them accordingly.
4. Lasting Protection
Unfortunately, moles are a constant problem and are even active during mild winters. The likelihood of re-infestation is high for rural properties adjacent to fields and woods. That’s why our mole control is a monthly program designed to provide lasting relief from moles. If you’re tired of moles and other lawn pests making a mess of your yard, contact Action Pest Control for home pest control or commercial pest control services today! Serving Indiana, Kentucky, and Illinois, we’re ready to help you take back your yard.
Mole exclusion methods – such as installing underground barriers and using mole repellents – prove effective by preventing moles from accessing gardens and lawns, thus safeguarding plants and maintaining the integrity of outdoor spaces. This approach targets the root of the problem by deterring moles before they can cause damage, offering a humane and long-lasting solution to mole infestations.
One of the best ways to prevent moles around your yard is to create a rock or wire mole-exclusion trench around your property’s perimeter. By digging a 2- to 3-foot-deep trench around your yard and filling it in with rocks or steel wire mesh that the moles can’t tunnel through, you can help minimize your risk of them finding their way into your yard. However, keep in mind that even using this method can have its downsides unless undertaken by a professional.
Moles are harmful to the overall health of your yard and plants, and they can also cause extensive cosmetic damage that can ruin your home’s exterior appeal. Beyond direct damage, moles can also create conditions that can lead to other problems, like weakening the structural integrity of your home’s foundations, creating pockets of pooling water across your yard, and leaving holes across the yard that could cause someone to trip and fall.
Moles are carnivorous mammals that feed on insects and grubs and spend most of their lives underground. Their persistent tunneling can be incredibly destructive to your garden and lawn, ruining your root structure and potentially creating entry points for other pests (like rodents) to get into your garden. High mole populations usually correlate with a correspondingly high presence of soil pests that they feed on.
While bats do their best to avoid humans, they are known to carry harmful diseases (Histoplasmosis and rabies). Because of this, you should never handle these mammals on your own. With a team of skilled experts who have undergone extensive training, Action Pest Control offers professional bat control services.
We identify entry points, implement exclusion methods, and provide preventative solutions to keep bats away. Our professional approach combines a deep understanding of bat behavior with state-of-the-art technology, resulting in a safe solution to your bat problem.
