How We Perform Rodent Control
Rodent infestations often develop due to easy access to food, water, and shelter. In Wilmington, the warm climate and proximity to coastal areas can make properties particularly attractive to these pests. Mice and rats can enter through small openings, seeking refuge in attics, crawl spaces, and wall voids. Once inside, they reproduce rapidly, leading to larger infestations if left unchecked.
Here's how our service works:
- Inspection: Our technicians conduct a detailed examination of your property, identifying entry points and signs of rodent activity.
- Exterior Baiting: We strategically place tamper-resistant bait stations around the perimeter of your property to intercept rodents before they enter.
- Interior Trapping: For existing infestations, we use specialized traps to remove rodents from inside your home or business.
- Exclusion: We seal potential entry points to prevent future rodent intrusions.
- Follow-up: Regular visits ensure continued protection and allow us to adjust our strategy as needed.
Dangers of Rodents on Your Property
Rodents pose significant risks to both health and property:
- Disease Transmission: Rodents can spread various diseases through their droppings, urine, and saliva.
- Property Damage: Rats and mice can chew through wood, wires, and pipes, potentially causing fires or water damage.
- Food Contamination: Rodents can contaminate food sources, leading to potential health hazards.
- Structural Damage: Their constant gnawing can weaken building structures over time.
- Allergies: Rodent dander and droppings can trigger allergic reactions in some individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are rodents active year-round in Wilmington?
Mostly yes—our winters are mild enough for continuous activity. Although you may see more indoor activity in the coldest months, these pests breed and forage year-round.
Do Wilmington’s hurricanes and storms drive rodents into houses?
Yes—heavy rains and flooding flush rodents from their usual hiding spots, driving them into homes and garages. After big winter or tropical storms, many homeowners notice increased activity indoors.
What does professional rodent control offer beyond DIY traps?
A pro will inspect, identify entry points, seal gaps, use strategic trapping or baiting, and follow up to ensure rodents are eliminated and kept out—something DIY methods often miss.
What types of rodents are found in Wilmington homes?
The usual suspects are rats and mice. In Wilmington, we mainly see Norway rats (large, brown rats that tend to burrow and stay at ground level) and roof rats (slimmer, dark rats that are agile climbers) as our rat species. Meanwhile, the tiny house mouse is just about everywhere and can squeeze into homes through a hole the size of a dime.
