Rodent Control in New Braunfels
Mice and roof rats chew wiring, contaminate food, and multiply fast. Mosquito Guard Pro, a division of Bob Jenkins Pest Control Inc., removes the rodents in your New Braunfels home and seals the gaps that let them back in.
Rodent Control built for New Braunfels homes
Quick answer
How do I get rid of mice and rats in my New Braunfels home?
Two things have to happen: the rodents already inside have to be removed, and the entry points have to be closed so more cannot follow. Traps alone leave the door open. Mosquito Guard Pro inspects your New Braunfels home to find how rodents are getting in, removes the population, and seals the gaps, so the problem does not simply repeat next season.

Why rodents move into New Braunfels homes
New Braunfels sits where the Comal and Guadalupe rivers meet, and the river bottoms run on rich, moisture-holding alluvial soil. That corridor of water, cover, and dense riparian growth is a rodent highway. Roof rats in particular follow tree lines and fence rows straight into the neighborhoods that back up to the rivers.
Comal County winters are mild, so rodents stay active year-round rather than dying back. When a cold front pushes through or the river rises, they move toward the warmth and shelter a house offers. A gap the size of a dime is enough for a mouse.
Roof rats climb, so they usually get in up high through the roofline, soffit gaps, attic vents, and limbs touching the house, which is common in the older tree canopy around Gruene and the established streets off Common Street. Mice come in low, through gaps around pipes, garage doors, and the foundation.
Signs of a rodent problem in your home
A few things give rodents away before you ever see one:
- Droppings along walls, in cabinets, or in the pantry
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, baseboards, or wiring
- Scratching or scurrying in the walls and attic, especially after dark
- Greasy rub marks along walls and floorboards where rodents travel the same route
- Shredded paper, fabric, or insulation pulled into a nest
How our New Braunfels rodent control works
A technician inspects inside and out to find where rodents are getting in, where they are nesting, and what is drawing them, because removing rodents without closing the entry points just invites the next ones in behind them.
We remove the rodents you have and seal the gaps, vents, and openings that let them in, so the house is actually closed off rather than re-invaded. On the river-bottom lots we pay particular attention to the roofline and the vegetation contact points, since that is how roof rats get up and in.
As a division of Bob Jenkins Pest Control Inc., the same team covers the rest of your home. Mosquitoes off the Comal, the general pest catalog, and rodents all come from one crew rather than three vendors.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Mosquito Guard Pro treats homes across New Braunfels and the surrounding Comal County communities, including Gruene, Vintage Oaks, Veramendi, River Chase, and the neighborhoods along the Comal and Guadalupe. Call us with your address and we will confirm service.
The Comal and Guadalupe corridors give rodents water, cover, and continuous vegetation to travel through, and the alluvial river bottoms hold moisture year-round. Homes backing onto that greenbelt sit right on the travel route, which is why roof rats show up in the attic there more often than in open subdivisions.
Mice are small, leave smaller droppings, and tend to stay low in pantries and wall voids. Roof rats are larger, leave bigger droppings, and are usually heard overhead in the attic and along the roofline. An inspection tells us which you have and where they are getting in.
Traps remove the rodents currently inside, but if the entry points stay open, more follow. Lasting control means removing the population and sealing the gaps that let them in, which is the approach we take.
Most of the work is exclusion — sealing the entry points so they cannot get back in — which is what makes the fix last. Where we do place stations, a licensed applicator sets them in areas people and pets do not access, and shows you where each one is.
