Rodent Control in North Carolina
Experienced rodent control professionals ready to solve rodent problems in residential and commercial environments.
Fast, Effective Rodent Control Services
Rodent problems can escalate quickly. Our licensed team delivers a rodent control service that removes active mice and rats and prevents them from coming back.
If you’ve found rodents in your North Carolina home or business, contact A-1 Pest Control right away. Left untreated, infestations can damage wiring, insulation, food packaging, and stored goods, and they create health and sanitation risks. Our rodent control services go beyond traps; we combine inspection, exclusion, sanitation, and targeted treatments for lasting results.
Health Risks of Rodent Infestations
Rodents spread diseases and contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine. Even small infestations can create significant health hazards for families and employees.
- Rats and mice may carry pathogens that cause salmonella and rat bite fever.
- Droppings, nesting materials, and bite marks on food containers can introduce allergens and bacteria.
- Scratching noises and gnaw marks often mean rodents are active behind walls, where they chew wiring and insulation.
What to Expect from Our Rodent Control Service
Every property is unique. We confirm rodent activity, identify entry points, and design a step-by-step plan that combines treatment, exclusion, and monitoring.

DIY Rodent Control vs Professional Help
Many homeowners try DIY rodent control first. While store-bought traps and glue boards can help in light cases, most rodent infestations require professional assistance.
- Rodents reproduce quickly, which is why controlling rodents with DIY methods often fail to prevent future infestations.
- Professional rodent exterminators use appropriate materials, tamper-resistant devices, and sealing techniques that last.
- A rodent control service addresses root causes: entry points, food sources, and habitat conditions.
For long-term results, working with an experienced rodent exterminator is the best option.
Rodent Prevention Tips
Rodent prevention starts with removing conditions that attract rodents and limiting their access to food and shelter.
- Store food and pet food in airtight containers
- Keep garbage cans sealed and emptied regularly
- Trim vegetation away from exterior walls to reduce harborage
- Seal entry points around pipes, vents, and crawl spaces
- Reduce clutter and other materials that can be used for nesting
These steps, combined with professional rodent removal services, protect your property from repeat infestations.

Are rodent treatments safe for families and pets?
Yes. We use tamper-resistant bait stations and professional traps where appropriate, following strict placement standards to prioritize safety.
Do I need ongoing service?
If your property is near fields, restaurants, or other high-pressure areas, or if compliance is required, ongoing service is recommended to prevent future infestations.
What’s the difference between mice and rats?
Mice are smaller and more curious, while rats are larger, more cautious, and often require stronger exclusion measures. Identifying the type of rodent helps us design the most effective control plan.
