Professional Rodent Control in North and South Carolina
Let the leading pest control company in North and South Carolina protect your biggest investment!
Rodent Control
Mice and rats don’t announce themselves. They slip in through gaps the size of a quarter, set up nests inside your walls, and start gnawing through wiring and insulation before you know they’re there. By the time you hear scratching at night or find droppings in a cabinet, you already have a problem.
Down East Pest Control provides professional rodent trapping, removal, and exclusion services throughout Bladen County, Fayetteville, Lumberton, Elizabethtown, and Myrtle Beach. We’ve been protecting homes and businesses in the Carolinas for over 20 years, and we know the rodent pressures specific to our region.
Signs You Have Rodents
- Droppings near food storage, under sinks, or along baseboards
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, wood trim, or electrical wiring
- Scratching, scurrying, or squeaking sounds in walls or ceilings — especially at night
- Nesting material: shredded paper, fabric, or insulation in out-of-the-way spots
- Smudge marks or grease trails along walls where rodents travel repeatedly
Don’t ignore these signs. A single pair of mice can produce 30–35 offspring in a year. What starts as one or two becomes dozens within months.
Our Rodent Control Process
We use a three-step approach based on what actually works long-term:
- Free Inspection — We walk your property, identify active entry points, locate nesting areas, and assess the scope of the infestation.
- Trapping & Removal — Strategic trap placement along travel routes and in key locations. We handle all removal and disposal.
- Exclusion — We seal the entry points rodents are using to get in. Without this step, the problem will keep coming back regardless of what trapping is done.
We’ll also advise you on what’s attracting rodents to your property — whether that’s food sources, wood piles, gaps in your foundation, or nearby vegetation — so you can prevent a repeat infestation.

FAQs
Are mice dangerous beyond just being a nuisance?
Yes. Mice can carry diseases including Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis. They also gnaw through electrical wiring, which is a fire risk. And their droppings contaminate surfaces and food storage areas. These aren’t just pests — they’re a health and safety issue.
I found a mouse. Should I set store-bought traps first?
You can, but over-the-counter traps only address the mice you can see. They don’t address the ones you can’t see, and they do nothing about the entry points that allowed them in. Professional inspection and exclusion is the only approach that produces lasting results
How long does rodent exclusion take?
Most residential exclusion jobs are completed in a single visit. We’ll give you a clear timeline and estimate after the inspection.
