This is a great question, when it comes to hiring an exterminator for any type of rodent issue in your home, ask these two questions before you engage.
- Do you guarantee your work? The answer should be yes, and have them put it in writing.
- How long will it take you to remove the Rats from my home? Anyone that is really experienced in eradicating rodents from your home, should be able to solve it in 4 to 10 days depending on the infestation. Here at Rodent Stoppers, our average is 5 days.
Mike B. writes: “How much does a rat exterminator cost here in South Carolina?”
This is one of the most frequent questions we get, particularly now with the economy. Every Rat or Rodent call is different, some properties we go to have very little activity, some properties have a major rat infestation. Here’s a rat infested house we solved in Charleston SC.
As you can see, this type of rat job had a lot of areas where rats were migrating, we had to conduct a lot of cleaning, and trapping.
For a job like this, you can expect to pay anywhere on the high side of $9800.00 and the low side of $800.00.
Rodent stoppers specialize in sewer rats or the South Carolina Norway Rat. Where we inspect and conduct an entire investigation of where the rats are coming in from the sewer system, using our rodent UV smoke test. This is an amazing process, and very involved that can cost up to $1800.00 for the entire investigation.
John L. Writes: “Does homeowners insurance cover my rodent issue?”
Here in South Carolina, Home owner’s insurance coverage for rats & mice typically is NOT covered. However, we’ve seen our clients get coverage with our written report and documentation when it comes to sewer rats. Check your policy or with your agent who put you in the policy.
Susan W. writes: “How do you get rid of rats permanently & fast?”
Here at Rodent Stoppers, we do not believe in the traditional subscription base model like most exterminators or pest control companies believe in. Where they show up and just place poison bait boxes and traps. This does not solve your issue permanently.
Our model is Inspect, detect and protect.
- We arrive and inspect the entire property, roof, attic, crawl space interior, and all exterior.
- We detect the rodent’s runways and nesting sites, and we remove and sanitize
- We seal ALL entry points from top to bottom and repair your pipes if we detect them coming from your sewer system.
- We place our Traps with our Rodent monitoring cameras.
With the use of the revolutionary Twin Rat Traps, we can eradicate rats in a few days.
All these steps takes about 2 to 8 days to permanently remove rats from your home or property.
With our 100% Rodent free guarantee, we are sure thorough.
