The older ranch homes off John Street and Sam Newell see a steady rotation of roof rats, gray squirrels, and the occasional attic raccoon — always through the same three roof-line weak points.
Enter details for a fast, free local estimate.
Matthews' mix of 1970s brick ranches and newer craftsman infill creates a mismatch of roof heights that squirrels and rats exploit. We map every jump-point, chase, and construction gap before quoting.
Rodent jobs get exterior bait stations along foundations plus interior snap traps in the attic run — never poison alone. Attic decon and insulation replacement are quoted separately so you see the line items.
Every Matthews job carries a written 1-year warranty on sealed openings and a 90-day rodent-activity warranty on interior rodent work.
Roof rat activity peaks October–February as cooling drives them indoors. Copperhead calls spike May–September.
Real Matthews-area jobs completed by our licensed crew. Customer addresses omitted for privacy.
Client saw droppings on top of an upstairs armoire. Inspection found rats using the porch tie-in where soffit and fascia had separated. Hardware seal, six interior traps, two exterior stations. Activity zero in 11 days.
Kids saw it slide into shade at 6 pm. On-site in 45 minutes, safe capture with tongs and hook, snake relocated per NC wildlife rules. Habitat walk-through: cleared mulch pile behind pool equipment and identified two harborage gaps to seal.
Distinct scratching above a first-floor bathroom fan. Mother relocated kits overnight through our reunion box; sealed the flashing gap, replaced 30 sq ft of urine-contaminated insulation, warranty issued.
“I'd had another company out twice with no results. Cole found the actual entry point in 20 minutes and had it sealed the same afternoon.”
Written quote before any work. No trip charges in Matthews.
Typical Matthews rat jobs run $495–$1,400 depending on number of entry points, whether attic decon is needed, and the size of the exterior bait perimeter. Written quote before work starts.
Yes. Every Matthews technician is trained in safe snake capture and relocation per North Carolina wildlife regulations. We do not kill non-venomous snakes.
No. We use stainless-steel hardware cloth and pressure-treated wood set behind the drip edge. No shingles are lifted or cut in a properly executed exclusion.
A 1-year warranty on every sealed opening and a 90-day activity warranty on interior rodent control. If activity returns during the warranty window, we return at no cost.
Trevor explained the whole maternity-season timeline and didn't try to rush the exclusion. Waited until pups could fly, sealed the ridge cap, guano cleanup was thorough. Have not heard a scratch in the attic since.
Diego was patient with my questions and pet-safe about every product. Baited out, dusted voids, followed up at two weeks. Clean kitchen for the first time in a year.
Luis found the entry point in 15 minutes — a chewed gable vent I'd missed for a year. Exclusion mesh, one-way door, follow-up visit. Straightforward pricing, no upsell.
Two other companies just kept setting traps. Aaron actually sealed the sill plate and dryer vent — root cause. Traps stayed empty after the third week. Should've called them first.
Ryan didn't just bait. He mapped the burrows, sealed the foundation gaps behind the trash cans, and coordinated with the alderman's rat abatement. Three months clean. Very Chicago-savvy.
Marcus showed up two hours after I called, showed me exactly where she was getting in above the soffit, set a one-way door and sealed six other gaps I didn't even know existed. No more scratching. Written warranty. Worth every dollar.
