Rodents Gnaw at Your Peace.
Rodents can cause serious problems in your home or business, threatening both your health and property. From spreading diseases like salmonella and hantavirus to damaging insulation and wiring, rodents are more than just a nuisance.
Sunrise Pest Defense, headquartered in Columbia, SC, specializes in humane rodent control services for Lexington and Richland counties. Our exclusion-based approach ensures your home stays protected without harmful chemicals or unnecessary harm to animals.
What Rodents Do We Handle?
At Sunrise Pest Defense, we provide expert control services for a variety of rodents common in South Carolina, including:
- Rats: Known for gnawing through insulation and wires, rats pose a serious fire risk and can spread diseases through droppings and urine.
- Mice: These small invaders can fit through holes as small as a dime and often nest near food sources, contaminating your pantry.
- Squirrels: Often found in attics, squirrels can chew through wood and insulation, causing structural damage.
- Chipmunks, Moles & Voles: While less common indoors, these rodents can wreak havoc in gardens and damage foundations.
No matter the type of rodent, our team uses proven techniques to safely and effectively remove and exclude them from your property.
Signs of a Rodent Infestation
Not sure if you have a rodent problem? Look for these common signs:
- Droppings near food sources, pantries, or along baseboards
- Gnaw marks on furniture, walls, or wires
- Scratching or scampering sounds, especially at night
- Nesting materials like shredded paper, fabric, or insulation
- Strong, musky odors in confined areas
- Grease marks or tracks along walls and floors
- Chewed food packaging or holes in storage containers
If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to act quickly before the infestation worsens.
Why Professional Rodent Control is Necessary
While DIY solutions like traps and baits might seem like a quick fix, they rarely address the root of the problem, and rodents get back in. Plus, store-bought poisons and traps can be hazardous to children, pets, and wildlife. Our methods prioritize safety for everyone, utilizing humane exclusion methods.
Our Rodent Exclusion Process
We start by identifying entry points, nesting sites, potential food and water sources, and the extent of the infestation. Our team specializes in sealing entry points and using non-lethal methods to remove rodents.
For moles, voles, and chipmunks, Sunrise Pest Defense combines exclusion techniques, eco-friendly deterrents, and habitat modifications like removing food sources or clearing debris. To protect your lawn, we focus on controlling grub populations, moles’ primary food source.
Rodents are clever and persistent. Our trained technicians know their behavior patterns and how to outsmart them effectively.
