Mouse Control in San Antonio
Serving San Antonio Homes & Businesses Since 1948
Mice can squeeze through an opening the size of a dime, and once inside they move fast. Witten Pest Control has been helping San Antonio homeowners and businesses get ahead of mouse problems since 1948. That means three generations of family ownership and over 75 years of continuous local service. We handle mouse control for homes, apartments, restaurants, offices, warehouses, and commercial properties throughout San Antonio, La Vernia, and eastern Bexar and Wilson Counties.
San Antonio’s warm climate and mix of older pier-and-beam homes, settled slab foundations, and mature tree canopies create year-round conditions that favor mouse activity. Cooler weather and heavy rains push mice indoors in search of warmth and food. That’s why calls tend to pick up in fall and after wet spells.
Call us at (210) 625-3056 to schedule a free inspection: no credit card required, no commitment, no pressure.Why San Antonio Property Owners Choose Witten Pest Control
Pest control companies come and go. We’ve been a fixture in this community for three generations, and our approach to mouse control reflects that.

What to Expect From Our Mouse Control Process
Every service starts with a thorough inspection. Our technicians look for droppings, rub marks, gnaw damage, nesting materials, and the entry points mice are using to move in and out. We check the areas where activity has been seen or heard: attics, garages, kitchens, wall voids, and crawlspaces. Before any treatment begins, we walk through what we found and explain the plan. Pricing is disclosed upfront.
Effective mouse control combines population reduction through trapping and baiting with exclusion: sealing the openings mice are using to get inside. We handle both, with product placement chosen specifically to protect pets and non-target animals.
For commercial properties such as restaurants, food businesses, and offices, we also account for sanitation concerns, access requirements, and health inspection considerations. Discreet, efficient service matters when your business is open and customers are present.

Signs of a Mouse Infestation in San Antonio
Mice are nocturnal and cautious, so most people don’t see them before noticing something else first. Knowing what to look for helps you catch a problem before a small number of mice becomes a large one.
- Droppings: Small, dark pellets near food sources, along baseboards, inside cabinets, or under sinks. A single mouse can leave 50 or more droppings per day.
- Gnaw marks: Chew damage on food packaging, electrical wiring, wood trim, or stored items. Fresh marks are lighter in color and have a rougher texture.
- Scratching sounds: Scurrying or scratching noises in walls, ceilings, or attics, typically after dark when mice are most active.
- Nesting materials: Shredded paper, fabric, or insulation tucked into wall voids, attics, or hidden storage areas.
- Greasy rub marks: Oily smudges along baseboards or walls where mice travel the same routes repeatedly.
- Musky odor: A distinctive smell associated with mouse urine, especially noticeable in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces.
If store-bought traps haven’t resolved the problem, or if you’re seeing mice during the day, those are signs of a larger population that warrants a professional inspection.
Health Risks & Property Damage From Mice
A mouse infestation isn’t just a nuisance. Mice carry pathogens that pose real health risks to people and pets, and the physical damage they cause can be costly and hard to detect until it’s significant.
Health Risks
Mice can transmit hantavirus through droppings, urine, and nesting materials. According to the CDC, stirring up contaminated materials can put the virus into the air, making inhalation a known exposure route. That’s why disturbing nesting areas without precaution carries real risk. Leptospirosis, a bacterial illness spread through mouse urine, can cause serious kidney and liver damage. Salmonellosis and rat-bite fever are additional concerns when mice have access to food prep surfaces or stored food.
Structural & Business Risks
Mice gnaw through electrical wiring, creating fire hazards in attics and wall voids that aren’t visible until a short or worse occurs. They also chew through insulation, wood framing, and stored goods. For restaurants and food businesses in San Antonio, mouse activity affects health inspections and can damage customer trust quickly.
Because mice reproduce rapidly (a single female can produce multiple litters within months), an infestation that starts small grows fast. Addressing it early limits how much damage accumulates before treatment begins.
