Arlington's rodent search results lean heavily on franchise location pages and lead-gen lists. The five companies below are the verifiable alternative: Tarrant County operators with active licenses, large review bases, and rodent work their customers actually talk about — all of them dispatching from Fort Worth, fifteen to twenty minutes from most Arlington addresses.
| Company | Best for | Google rating | TX license | Based in |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Critter Call Pest Control | roof-rat specialist | 5★ (429) | TPCL #784243 | Fort Worth |
| 2. Webb Pest Service Control & Extermination | full-service local | 5★ (688) | TPCL #570819 | Fort Worth |
| 3. Critter Stop | attics & restoration | 5★ (82) | TPCL #896255 | Fort Worth |
| 4. Paragon Pest Control | big-crew availability | 4.9★ (808) | TPCL #846595 | Fort Worth |
| 5. Sniper Termite and Pest Control Fort Worth | rats + termites | 4.9★ (458) | TPCL #807580 | Fort Worth |
Ratings, review counts and TPCL license numbers come from Google Business Profile data and the Texas Department of Agriculture (SPCS) license database.
A Fort Worth local with a perfect 5★ across 400+ reviews whose reviewers specifically mention roof rat control and thorough inspections — the exact combination an Arlington attic problem calls for. Identification before treatment is the step most companies skip.
A Fort Worth institution holding a perfect 5★ across nearly 700 Google reviews — rare at that volume — with rodent removal among the topics customers bring up most. The right call when rodents are one of several pest problems for a single company to handle.
Review topics read like an attic-job checklist: squirrel removal, attic sealing, insulation installation. One company for the whole arc — animal out, holes sealed, contaminated insulation replaced — where most operators subcontract the restoration half. Open Saturdays.
One of the largest independents on the Tarrant side, 4.9★ across roughly 800 reviews, with reviewers highlighting knowledgeable technicians and thorough inspections. More trucks means faster scheduling across the mid-cities when you want the noise overhead handled this week.
A Fort Worth operator licensed across both termite and pest lines, 4.9★ across 450+ reviews, with a knowledgeable team as the recurring review theme. Practical for the classic Arlington double bill — rodent noise in the attic and a termite inspection due on a 1970s ranch.
More options: the full Dallas–Fort Worth directory lists every licensed, 4.5★+ rodent-capable company in the metroplex, grouped by city — or start from our Dallas top picks, most of which serve Arlington too.
Arlington pricing follows the DFW market: expect a free-to-$150 inspection, $150–$450 for an initial trapping program with follow-up visits, and $400–$2,500 for full exclusion depending on home size and roofline complexity. Attic cleanup after a heavy infestation is a separate line at $500–$3,000+. The full breakdown — prices by service and home size, what should be in a quote, and the red flags — is on our Dallas–Fort Worth cost page, and applies to Arlington without adjustment.
Arlington's rodent pressure follows its creeks: Johnson Creek and the Trinity's west fork cut green corridors through the middle of the city, and the postwar ranch neighborhoods around them — mature hardwoods over 1960s–70s brick homes — are textbook roof-rat habitat. The older the subdivision, the more likely the original weep holes are unscreened and the soffit joints weathered open.
Ongoing redevelopment around the entertainment district adds the other classic trigger: construction displacement pushing field rodents into finished streets. The playbook is the standard North Texas one — trap, then seal every entry point — and our roof rat guide applies to the mid-cities exactly as written.
Arlington pricing tracks the DFW market: free-to-$150 inspections, $150–$450 for a trapping program with follow-ups, $400–$2,500 for full exclusion depending on home size and roofline complexity.
Tarrant County's pest industry clusters in Fort Worth, and Arlington addresses sit inside every one of their standard service radiuses — typically a 15–20 minute dispatch. Office address matters less than licensing, ratings and response time.
The city's code enforcement acts on neglected properties that harbor rodents (trash, high grass, junk) — useful when the source is a problem lot next door. Rats already inside your home are a licensed pest control company's job.
Both, and timing tells them apart: rats work the first hours after dark, squirrels are loudest at dawn and during the day. Arlington's mature tree canopy supports both — companies on this list with wildlife in their service line can handle either answer.
