Highland Park is an established mid-century residential neighborhood with ranch and split-level housing and moderate tree canopy. Standard mid-century Savannah rodent profile — primarily roof rats, seasonal mice.
Highland Park is one of Savannah’s mid-century residential neighborhoods, developed primarily in the 1950s and 1960s. The neighborhood profile reflects its era — substantial original landscaping now mature, ranch and split-level housing on moderate lots, perimeter-masonry foundation construction, and the typical post-war suburban rodent pressure pattern.
Treatment work is straightforward — primarily attic-related roof rat issues where canopy reaches the rooflines, with seasonal mouse pressure addressed through standard interior penetration sealing. Norway rat pressure is light in the residential interior.
Highland Park housing is predominantly 1950s–1960s construction — ranch homes, split-levels, modest two-stories on substantial lots. Brick veneer is the dominant exterior. Foundations are typically perimeter masonry. Attics are typically modest, accessible through ceiling hatches.
Roof construction is simple — straight-run gables or hips, modest soffit overhangs, basic ventilation. Exclusion work focuses on age-related gaps that have opened over the decades.
Roof rats are the primary species, driven by mature canopy access on most streets.
Norway rats are uncommon in the residential interior.
House mice appear seasonally and respond well to standard mouse-proofing.

📞 Call (912) 305-0115Standard whole-home programs in Highland Park typically run $700–$1,200, depending on house size, infestation level, and exclusion scope. Pricing includes inspection, trapping where active rodents are present, building-envelope exclusion sealing, follow-up verification at 10–14 days, and our 90-day exclusion warranty. We quote in writing before any work begins and we don’t inflate scope mid-project. Initial inspection within our service area is free of charge.
Typical dispatch from our office on Gaston Street to Highland Park is 20–30 minutes during normal traffic conditions. Same-day inspection slots are available across the area for active infestations and emergencies. Our hours are 9AM to 9PM, seven days a week, and the dispatch line answers directly rather than routing through a call center.
Roof rats from mature canopy access are the primary species. Norway rats are uncommon. House mice appear seasonally in some homes. For most Highland Park properties, the treatment approach is shaped primarily by which species is active. We confirm species during the initial inspection — droppings, gnaw marks, runways, and harborage all give us species-identification evidence before we set the treatment plan.
Generally yes — older housing has more rodent-sized entry points (sill plates, plumbing penetrations, original utility entries) and typically more weathered roofline gaps. The vulnerabilities are addressable; we’ve done exclusion work on every era of Savannah housing from antebellum construction to recent new builds. The technique and materials change with the building era, but the result — a rodent-resistant building envelope — is achievable on any property.
Yes. Interior treatment defaults to mechanical traps and covered station traps in homes with pets or young children. Rodenticides are deployed only outdoors in tamper-resistant exterior stations when warranted, and even those we’ll skip if you’d prefer. Every product on the property is explained before deployment and we provide product information on request.
We work to keep exclusion subtle — hardware cloth installed behind original soffit returns where possible, color-matched sealant on visible exterior surfaces, copper mesh in masonry gaps that oxidizes to match aged brick. On most properties, the work isn’t visible from the curb after completion. On historic homes specifically, we use restoration-friendly techniques throughout (see our historic home rodent control service).
Initial inspection requires property access — typically 60–90 minutes on site. The bulk of the actual sealing work is exterior and can happen with you home, away, or with a neighbor or property manager providing access. Follow-up verification visits are typically 30–45 minutes. Some Highland Park customers prefer to be away during the work; many stay home — it’s up to you.
Our standard exclusion warranty is 90 days against re-entry through any sealed point. If rodents re-enter through a sealed gap inside that window, we come back at no charge. Properties on ongoing monitoring programs extend the warranty for as long as the maintenance program is active. The 90-day window is the standard residential coverage; commercial programs have their own warranty structures.
