Rodent Control Services in Durham, NC

Rodents can quickly become a serious problem, especially in North Carolina’s moderate climate. Mice and rats reproduce rapidly, with one pair capable of producing dozens of offspring in a single year. As they move through your space, they leave behind trails of urine, droppings, and bacteria that can contaminate food sources and trigger health issues like asthma or salmonella.

They also chew through insulation, drywall, and even electrical wiring, creating fire hazards and costly repairs. In commercial properties, rodents can destroy inventory, harm reputations, and lead to failed inspections.

Avoiding professional treatment or relying on store-bought traps often leads to recurring issues. A one-time fix won’t solve the problem. Rodent control in Durham requires a comprehensive plan, and we’re here to deliver it.

Signs of Rodents in Your Durham Home or Business

Durham properties, especially older buildings, homes near wooded areas, or commercial kitchens, are at high risk for rodent intrusion. Here are key signs to watch for:

• Droppings along baseboards, pantries, or under appliances
• Noises in walls or ceilings, especially at night
• Nesting materials like paper, fabric, or insulation
• Chewed wires, food packaging, or furniture
• Greasy rub marks or small openings along exterior walls
• Foul, musky odors
