RODENT CONTROL SERVICES IN COLUMBIA, SC
& SURROUNDING AREAS
A Few Today Means Dozens Tomorrow
In South Carolina’s climate, mice and rats remain active year-round. They squeeze through openings as small as a dime and nest inside walls, attics, crawlspaces, and cabinets. Rodent control in Columbia and the Upstate is critical when you hear scratching at night, find droppings in the pantry, or notice chewed up wires.
Mice and rats contaminate food, damage insulation, and breed quickly. A single pair of mice can multiply in a matter of weeks. DIY traps often catch one or two while the rest continue to reproduce.
Successful rodent control in Columbia requires professional help removing the population and sealing entry points so they don’t return.

How We Help You Win
1. Rodent Inspection
Treatment strategies differ between rats and mice. Every successful rodent control program begins with a detailed inspection. We identify:
Species (mouse, Norway rat, roof rat, etc.)
Areas of activity
Entry points
Attractants
2. Sanitation Checklist
After inspection, we provide a sanitation checklist to help you eliminate conditions that attract rodents. This will prevent future infestations and may include:
Securing pantry items
Managing trash storage
Removing clutter
Addressing pet food storage
3. Baits & Traps
Our program includes a combination of professional-grade baiting and trapping for the highest rate of success. We’ll start with high-quality bait to reduce the population and prevent rapid growth. Then, we’ll place traps in and around the area of rodent activity.
4. Rodent Monitoring
After we place the baits and set the traps, we’ll return twice every two or three days to ensure your rodent control program is successful and make adjustments as needed.
5. Rodent Exclusion
Once the population is eliminated, our technicians work to help you prevent re-entry. The entire process, from start to finish, takes 5 to 7 days on average. Exclusion includes:
Door sweeps
Caulking
Gap sealing
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Common signs include scratching sounds in walls or ceilings, droppings in cabinets, chewed up wiring or wood, musty odors, and grease marks along baseboards. A professional inspection confirms the species and severity.
-
To get rid of rodents, it’s important to determine the exact species you’re dealing with. For example, if you have rats and select mice traps, the trapping mechanism isn’t large enough for the rats. If you have mice and choose rat traps, the traps won’t trigger for a mouse. Plus, each species behaves differently. Understanding the differences between species increases your rodent program’s success.
-
A single female mouse can produce a new litter every 3–4 weeks, with 5–6 pups per litter. That means one pair of mice can turn into dozens in just a few months. Rats reproduce slightly slower but still rapidly. A female rat can have 4–6 litters per year, with up to 8–12 pups per litter. In ideal conditions, a small rat problem can become a major infestation within one season.
