Tatemville is a historic west-side Savannah neighborhood with mixed older housing stock and proximity to downtown commercial corridors. Mixed-vector rodent profile combining Norway rat pressure and older-housing vulnerabilities.

Tatemville is one of the historic west-side Savannah neighborhoods with development going back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The neighborhood profile combines downtown-adjacency Norway rat pressure (from the broader corridor system and sewer infrastructure), older housing stock vulnerabilities, and moderate tree canopy on residential streets.
Treatment approach typically combines ground-level Norway rat exclusion with seasonal mouse-proofing on the older homes. Restoration-friendly techniques apply to the older housing where preservation matters.
Tatemville housing spans late-19th-century through mid-20th-century construction with later infill. Foundations vary β brick-pier on the older homes, perimeter masonry on later builds. Original construction features on the older homes create rodent vulnerabilities that newer infill doesn’t have.
Restoration-friendly exclusion techniques apply to older homes; standard scope works on newer construction.
Norway rats are common due to downtown-corridor proximity.
Roof rats appear where canopy reaches.
House mice are common in older homes with original construction features.

Pricing includes inspection, trapping where active rodents are present, building-envelope exclusion sealing, follow-up verification at 10β14 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.

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.
Norway rats are common from downtown-corridor proximity. Roof rats appear where canopy reaches. House mice are common in older homes. For most Tatemville properties, the treatment approach is shaped primarily by which species is active. We confirm species during the initial inspection β droppings, gnaw marks, runways, and harborage all give us species-identification evidence before we set the treatment plan.
Generally yes β 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 β a rodent-resistant building envelope β 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 β 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 β typically 60β90 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 30β45 minutes. Some Tatemville customers prefer to be away during the work; many stay home β 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.
