Professional Rodent Control in Charleston

Rodents threaten your home or business by contaminating food, chewing wires and insulation, and can cause costly structural damage. DIY traps might catch a few, but hidden nests and multiple access routes often remain.

Our Charleston specialists create a clear treatment plan. First, we do a thorough inspection. Next, we use targeted trapping. We also provide sanitation guidance.

Finally, we work on exclusion to stop re-entry. After that, we monitor to prevent future infestations. Local pressure from roof rats and house mice rises as temperatures drop, so fast response matters.

Rodent Signs

• Small, dark droppings along walls or near food packaging
• Gnaw marks on baseboards, wires, or pantry items
• Greasy rub marks along rodent travel routes
• Nighttime scratching in walls or the attic
• Shredded paper or insulation nests in storage areas
