Local rodent control done by people who actually live here
Savannah Rodent Control is a locally-owned rat and mouse removal company serving Chatham County and the surrounding Coastal Georgia area. We handle Norway rats from the port and restaurant corridors, roof rats moving through the live-oak canopy, and the year-round house mouse pressure that comes with humid subtropical winters. Same-day dispatch, honest pricing, no contracts, no fluff.
We were founded in 2023 by Savannah locals who grew tired of watching out-of-town franchises misread the city's particular rodent profile. The Historic District's brick-pier foundations don't get treated the same way a 1990s Pooler subdivision does. A Tybee Island vacation rental needs a different schedule than an Ardsley Park family home. We design treatment plans around what's actually under, around, and inside your specific property.

What's actually happening here
Why Savannah has such heavy rodent pressure
Three things make Savannah unusual. One: the live oaks. The Historic District's tree canopy and Ardsley Park's mature pecan streets drop food year-round, supporting a roof rat population that travels overhead on branches and utility lines and drops into attics through any gap larger than a quarter inch. Two: the port. Norway rats have moved through Savannah River shipping for as long as the port has operated, and their populations stay heavy along Bay Street, the industrial corridors of Garden City and Port Wentworth, and the downtown restaurant rows that follow Broughton and River Street.
Three: the humidity. Year-round subtropical humidity means crawl spaces stay damp, brick-pier foundations remain accessible, and wall cavities provide stable harborage twelve months a year. Most southern cities get a winter break from rodent pressure. Savannah doesn't. That's why we treat with monitoring schedules and exclusion-first approaches rather than one-shot baiting — the pressure simply doesn't relent.
Layered on top: SCAD student housing density, Tybee Island's vacation-rental turnover cycle, marsh-adjacent properties on Isle of Hope and Coffee Bluff with elevated Norway rat activity from tidal corridors, and a tourism economy that puts restaurants under constant rodent-inspection scrutiny. Our work spans all of it.
Featured service areas
Three Savannah neighborhoods we know well
Downtown
Historic squares, 19th-century brick-pier homes, and Restaurant Row create year-round Norway and roof rat pressure across the Historic District.
The Landings
Skidaway Island gated community — live-oak canopy and marsh proximity drive roof rat and Norway rat activity across the 40-year-old neighborhoods.
Ardsley Park
Mature pecan and live-oak streets, 1920s housing stock, and Washington Avenue's tree canopy make this classic Savannah roof rat territory.
Know what you have
Norway rat vs. roof rat vs. house mouse
The species drives the treatment plan. Here's how to tell them apart at a glance.
| Species | Where you'll find them | Treatment focus | Peak season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Norway rat 7–10 in, blunt nose, heavy | Ground level, port corridors, sewers, restaurant alleys, crawl spaces | Exterior bait stations + perimeter exclusion | Year-round |
| Roof rat 6–8 in, pointed nose, agile | Attics, live-oak canopy, palm trees, citrus, utility lines | Attic trapping + roofline sealing + tree clearance | Fall through winter |
| House mouse 2–4 in, small ears, brown-gray | Kitchens, garages, pantries, wall voids, behind appliances | Snap traps + interior gap sealing + sanitation review | Late fall, winter |
How we work
A four-step process, every time
Inspect
Full walk of the property — attic, crawl space, exterior, utility penetrations, sealed-up rooms. We photograph what we find.
Identify
Species, scope, entry points, harborage. The droppings, gnaw marks, and runways tell us what we're working with.
Treat
Trapping, baiting where appropriate, and exclusion sealing of every entry point we found. Written summary at the end.
Prevent
Follow-up visit at 10–14 days, exterior bait stations for ongoing properties, and a written prevention plan you can keep.
FAQ
Common questions from Savannah homeowners
Do you offer same-day rodent service in Savannah?
Yes — we dispatch same-day across Chatham County and adjacent Coastal Georgia, every day of the week. Our hours are 9AM to 9PM, Mon–Sun. Call (912) 305-0115 and we'll route the next available technician to your address.
What's the difference between Norway rats and roof rats in Savannah?
Norway rats are heavier, ground-dwelling, and follow the Savannah River port corridor, sewers, and restaurant alleys. Roof rats are smaller, agile climbers that nest in attics and travel through the live-oak canopy. Savannah has heavy pressure from both — Norway rats from port traffic, roof rats from the historic live-oak streets. Identifying which species you have changes the entire treatment plan.
How much does rodent control cost in Savannah?
A one-time interior service typically runs $250–$450. Full exclusion sealing on a historic Savannah home with brick-pier foundation and unfinished attic can range $750–$1,800 depending on size and condition. We quote in writing after a free inspection — no surprise fees, no high-pressure upsells.
Are your treatments safe for pets and children?
Yes. Interior work defaults to mechanical traps and enclosed bait stations. Rodenticides are used only outdoors in tamper-resistant locked stations when warranted. We explain every product on the property before any treatment begins, and we'll skip anything you'd rather not have applied.
Do you treat historic homes in the Historic District and Victorian District?
We do, and a meaningful share of our work is on 19th-century Savannah housing stock. Brick-pier foundations, crawl spaces, knob-and-tube remnants, and original lath-and-plaster all change how we approach exclusion. We seal entry points using techniques that don't damage original siding, trim, or masonry.
Which Savannah neighborhoods do you cover?
All 50 Savannah and Chatham County neighborhoods listed on our site, plus 25 adjacent Coastal Georgia towns from Pooler and Garden City to Richmond Hill, Rincon, Tybee Island, and Hinesville — anywhere within roughly 45 minutes of downtown.
