Rat & Mouse Control in Charlotte, NC

Be Gone, Rats! Our Exterminators Send Them Packing

Charlotte keeps making national "rattiest cities" lists. Constant construction pushes rodents toward the nearest warm crawl space, all over town from Dilworth to Plaza Midwood.

Droppings behind the stove? Ceiling laps at 2 a.m.? You need a rat and mouse exterminator that finds the entry points and closes them for good.

That's us. Undefeated champions against the rats and mice of Charlotte since 1940.

Signs You've Got Rats or Mice

Droppings

Rice-sized means mice; raisin-sized means rats. Glossy = fresh.

Sounds at night

Scratching in the attic points to one culprit; the crawl space, another.

Gnaw marks & grease trails

Rodent teeth never stop growing, so they chew everything, including wiring, a real fire hazard. Greasy baseboard smudges map their daily routes, and tell us exactly where to strike.

Charlotte’s Big 3: Norway Rats, Roof Rats & House Mice

Norway rats burrow. Find them in foundations, crawl spaces, and basements.

Roof rats climb. Charlotte's big willow oaks are a highway straight to your roofline.

House mice squeeze. A dime-width gap is all they need.

Three different pests, three totally different playbooks. Real mouse and rat exterminator services start with knowing which one you've got.

I am a long time customer--always satisfied with the service. Last time however, there were still a few spiderwebs on the house-- I called and they sent someone out right away for a thorough redo. I am still a very satisfied customer. Great customer service from office to service staff.

We've used Black Pest for the past 16yrs. Started with our first home and we've continued to use them for each home after moving twice. Always professional, easy to work with, their treatments are effective and in the few times we've needed additional treatments between scheduled visits, they've come out at no additional charge. Have recommended to many neighbors and friends who have same experience.
