Factors affecting the cost include: - Type of Rodent Removal Services. An exterminator can try to capture rats and mice alive or eliminate them with poisons. What type of rat removal method is right will depend upon a wide variety of factors unique to your individual situation, and the cost of getting rid of rats or mice will be largely determined by what steps must be taken. - Number of Mice and Rats. The size of the infestation will affect the cost. The more rodents there are in a home, the more costly the services to remove them will be. - Location of the Rodents. If rodents are located in an out-of-reach area like within the walls or above the ceilings, the cost to remove them will usually be higher than it is to remove them from a basement, crawlspace or other more easily accessible area. - Amount of Mouse and Rat Damage Incurred.
