We South Carolina's top experts in rodent control. We are not a typical Charleston rat removal or pest control company. We don't treat rats or mice like insects, because they are not - they are mammals! You can't just use poison to get rid of them, like you can with insects. Unlike most Charleston pest control, we focus on complete and permanent solutions. We don't just use poison every month. We solve your rodent problem forever, by following these steps:

• Inspect the entire house, ground to roof, and the attic
• Seal shut all entry areas, no matter how small, with steel
• Set a dozen or more rat or mouse traps in the house and attic
• Remove all rodents as they are caught and monitor for activity
• Once there is no more activity and no more caught, we're done
• When necessary, we clean rodent droppings, replace insulation, and repair chewed electric wires

Charleston Rodent Removal Tip:

What diseases do mice carry?
Mice, like their rat cousins, are symbols of filth and disease. That's why having them in your home can fill you with a sense of dread. But does the symbolism have any truth to it? What diseases do mice really carry?

Salmonellosis
Mice are known to carry salmonella. The disease is spread by an infected mouse's droppings. This normally isn't an issue for people. Yet it can sometimes make its way into your food. That's when it can infect you and lead to the disease's uncomfortable symptoms.

These symptoms include diarrhea, a fever, and stomach cramps. Most people can get better with just a bit of rest. Yet there are some deadlier strains of the disease out there. These are known to cause damage to the nervous system, so you should be cautious and talk to a medical professional if you come down with these symptoms.

Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome
Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome (HPS) is a deadly disease, and anyone showing symptoms should seek medical attention immediately.

This disease is spread by mice, and having them in your home can put your entire household at risk. You can be infected by inhaling feces particles in the air, or it can spread to you if you just touch a mouse's droppings while cleaning up the mess they left in your home.

Symptoms of this disease include muscle pains, fevers, and headaches. Severe cases of the disease can lead to coughing, shortness of breath, and fluid in the lungs. This disease is deadly, and the CDC reports that the mortality rate is 38%. 

Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is another disease carried by mice.

This disease is spread by urine, whether directly or by things that come into contact with a mouse's urine.

The disease's symptoms can range from non-existent to severe. Some people show no symptoms at all. While others have minor symptoms like fevers, headaches, and vomiting. Severe cases, however, can lead to liver or kidney failure.

Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis
Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis (LCM) is another disease spread by mice.

LCM can be spread by coming into contact with the mouse, through bites, droppings, urine, saliva, or even inhaled.

The disease has a number of symptoms. Some of the most common ones are fevers, nausea, lack of appetite, headaches, and chest pain. Severe cases can result in meningitis or even paralysis. This disease is particularly dangerous for pregnant women, as they can pass it to the fetus. This can result in birth defects or even the death of the fetus.
