Rodent Control Services
Rodents are more than just a nuisance—they are a threat to your property and your family's health. They contaminate food surfaces, spread harmful bacteria, and can cause significant structural damage by constantly gnawing on wood, PVC pipes, and electrical wiring.
Whether you need immediate intervention to stop a sudden infestation or want to establish a proactive defense perimeter to ensure rats never get inside in the first place, Palmetto Exterminators has you covered. Our targeted rodent control program offers immediate relief to keep your property rodent-free year-round.
Rodents We Target
We specialize in identifying and eliminating the three most common—and destructive—rodent intruders:
- Roof Rats: Sleeker and more agile than Norway rats, roof rats are exceptional climbers. They prefer to live off the ground, entering Lowcountry homes through damaged eaves, soffits, or roof vents and establish nests in attics and drop ceilings.
- Norway Rats: Also known as brown rats or sewer rats, these are the largest and most robust of the common rodents. They are ground-dwellers that prefer to burrow outdoors under concrete slabs, along building foundations, or in heavy vegetation. When they move indoors, they gravitate toward damp, lower-level areas like basements and crawlspaces.
- Marsh Rice Rats: Found in wetland settings and near coastal marshes
Our Rodent Control Process
1. Property Inspection
Our technicians perform a thorough inspection of all accessible areas of your structure. If we find evidence of rodent activity, we will work to locate and identify their potential entry points.
2. Trapping & Baiting
We utilize a combination of methods tailored specifically to your property's needs:
- Indoor & Enclosed Areas: We set targeted mechanical traps to quickly reduce the interior population.
- Exterior Perimeters: We build an exterior defense line around your home using high-quality bait in secure, tamper-proof stations.
