Rodent Control in Simpsonville, SC

Rodent control pricing depends on the size of the infestation, the number of entry points that need to be sealed, and whether interior or exterior treatment is needed. Call (855) 800-8469 or fill out the quote form for a same-day estimate. Rodent exclusion is included in Plus and Platinum plans.

Mouse droppings are small and rod-shaped (about 3–6mm). Rat droppings are much larger (12–20mm). Mice tend to leave scattered droppings along walls and in cabinets; rats leave droppings near food sources and burrow entrances. Gnaw marks on wood and plastic, greasy rub marks along walls, and scratching sounds at night are common signs of both. A professional inspection will confirm which species is present and where activity is concentrated.

Most active infestations are significantly reduced within 1–2 weeks of initial trapping and bait station placement. Full resolution, including follow-up visits and exclusion work, typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on infestation severity. Exclusion sealing is done after the active population has been reduced to prevent trapping surviving rodents inside the structure.

Yes. All exterior bait stations are tamper-resistant and secured so pets cannot access the bait. Interior traps are placed in locations inaccessible to pets — inside wall voids, in attic or crawlspace areas, and behind appliances. For households with pets that have access to crawlspace or attic areas, ask your technician about mechanical-only trapping programs.

Recurring annual rodent invasions — especially in fall — almost always indicate unsealed entry points. As temperatures drop, mice and rats actively seek warmer shelter and will return to the same entry points year after year. Trapping without exclusion only removes the current population. Permanent exclusion — sealing every gap, crack, and utility penetration with durable materials — is what breaks the cycle.

Exclusion involves the physical sealing of every entry point identified during inspection using materials rodents cannot gnaw through — steel wool, hardware cloth, metal flashing, and appropriate sealants. Common entry points include gaps around pipes and conduit, foundation cracks, weep holes, garage door gaps, and roof line penetrations. Exclusion is the most effective long-term rodent control method and is included in Plus and Platinum service plans.

No. Rodent inspections and most trapping and exclusion services do not require you to vacate. Exterior bait station placement and interior trap setting can be completed with you present. Your technician will walk you through what was found and what was done before leaving your property.

Clear access to areas where activity has been noticed — under sinks, behind appliances, in closets, and in the attic if accessible. Store open food in sealed containers. If you have a crawlspace, ensure the access hatch can be opened. Your technician will handle the rest. After treatment, avoid disturbing trap placements and leave exterior bait stations in place between service visits.
