The problem with most rodent work
100% Money-Back Guarantee
We solve it or you don’t pay.
Most rodent jobs in Charleston get sold as a recurring service. Someone sets bait, comes back monthly, and collects for as long as you keep paying. The rodents keep coming because nobody ever closed the opening they walk through. Traps empty. Holes do not close themselves.
We do the opposite, and we put our name on it. Every job is covered by our 100% Money-Back Guarantee: we solve it, or you don’t pay. No renewal, no monthly fee, and nothing to keep paying for while the problem carries on.
We do it the other way around. We find every entry point first. Then we seal the building in steel and mortar so the route is gone, and trap what is already inside with traps and a vacuum system rather than poison. That is a repair to your house, and it is why it does not need renewing.
It also means we will sometimes tell you the job is smaller than you feared. A phone call that ends in "that sounds like one open vent, not an infestation" is a good outcome for both of us.

What rodents actually use to get in
- Open or poorly screened crawl space vents
- Gaps along the foundation and pier line, and failed skirting
- Where plumbing, ducting and wiring pass up through the floor system
- Crawl space access doors that no longer seal
- Soffit and gable vents, and the roofline where trees reach it
The marsh and the trees aren’t the problem. An opening into your home is. We identify the actual entry points and seal them FIRST using our lifetime-warranted rodent-proofing products.
How it goes
Why Charleston homeowners call us
Free Phone Estimate
Tell us what you’re hearing, seeing or smelling and where it’s happening. We’ll explain our process, discuss pricing and determine the right next step.
Find the Entry Point
This is the most important step. We determine exactly how rats or mice are entering — from attic and roof openings to crawl spaces, structural penetrations and plumbing or sewer systems.
Seal the Entry Points
Once we know how they’re getting in, we permanently seal the identified openings using professional rodent-proof materials. Stop the entry first — then eliminate what’s trapped inside.
Trap & Monitor
We strategically trap and monitor the rodents remaining inside using traps, cameras and, when appropriate, our Rat Vac system. No rodent poison inside your home.
Clean & Sanitize
Droppings, nesting material and contaminated insulation come out, and the space is disinfected rather than just cleared. Insulation is replaced where the contamination went through it.

Fantastic service! I noticed some signs of rodents in my attic and was really concerned. These guys came out quickly and were very thorough in their inspection. They set traps, sealed up potential entry points, and gave me advice on how to prevent future issues. Their team was knowledgeable, friendly, and truly cared about resolving my issue. I'm finally rodent-free thanks to their amazing service. Definitely five stars!
Being near the water in Isle of Palms, we've had rats try to move into our crawl space every year. Normally we just throw down traps, but this time it got worse. We could hear them at night and started finding insulation in our air vents. I found Twin Home Experts through a Facebook group and decided to call. Justin came out and was super professional. He did a full walkthrough and told us what he'd recommend. The whole process was smooth and way more thorough than anything we'd had done before. No more scratching, no more droppings. And they cleaned up after themselves too, which I really appreciated.
We, too, live in a Charleston downtown home that is subject to periodic rodent visits. We contacted this business based on its prior reviews and we were not disappointed. Colton K., an owner of this business, was professional, punctual, thorough and a pleasure to work with. They cleared debris from my crawl space, then sealed it, checked for rodent entry paths and implemented traps with video monitoring. So far, so good! This is a fine young man who has a bright future in Charleston. Hire his team!
We only stay at our Kiawah house a few times a year, so when we came back after a few months and saw signs of rats in the kitchen, we were pretty shocked. They'd gotten into a few cabinets and chewed through some of the pantry items. We called out the twins and had them check everything out. Colton and Jim were awesome. They found where the rats had gotten in through the lattice in our deck and sealed everything up tight. They also set traps and came back to make sure everything was clear before we left. It was such a relief to know the house was secure again.
I recently had the pleasure of using Twin Home Experts after discovering them through a Google search, and I must say, they lived up to their great reviews. I was pleasantly surprised when they were able to schedule a visit for the very next day to investigate the noise I was hearing in the gutters of my three-level home. During the thorough examination of my property, the technician Colton discovered some gaps in the gutter guard that could allow something to get in. He was diligent in his inspection, even going up into the attic to ensure that nothing had made its way inside. Thankfully, he confirmed that nothing had entered my home, and his recommendation was to repair the gutter guard. I would happily recommend them to my family and friends!
After moving into my historic house in Charleston, I discovered signs of rodents in the attic. Twin Home Experts were prompt, professional, and so knowledgeable about how to handle older homes. They removed the infestation, replaced the damaged insulation, and left everything spotless. It's rare to find a company that truly takes pride in their work - these guys do.
Living near the beach out in Folly, we get a fair amount of critters, but when rats made their way into our attic, we knew we needed help. It was starting to smell, and we didn't want it to turn into a bigger issue. Twin Home Experts came out fast, and they were great from the start. Kameron was super knowledgeable and showed us pictures and videos of everything he found. The guys that came out closed up where they were getting in and removed the ones that were caught quick before they started to smell. 100% recommend this company to anyone with a rat problem!
I'm a homeowner in Mount Pleasant and had a pretty serious rodent issue last fall. We thought we had sealed up all the entry points ourselves, but the scratching kept coming back, mostly at night in the ceiling above our bedroom. After a few sleepless weeks, we called Twin Home Experts. What I appreciated was that they didn't come in trying to sell us on a million things. They simply did a detailed inspection, explained what was really happening, and got to work. They stopped by today to check in because they were in the area and it's been months since we've had any issues. That just shows how thorough these guys are.
Rodent Control in Charleston, SC
Rodent problems here usually start in the crawl space, for the same reason the mold does. An open, vented, damp crawl space is warm, sheltered, full of nesting material and almost never entered by anyone.
From there they move up through the penetrations where plumbing and ducting enter the floor system, into wall cavities and into the attic. By the time you hear something overhead, the route underneath you is well established.
We seal every opening in steel and mortar first, so nothing new gets in. Then we trap what is left inside using traps and the Rat Vac system rather than poison, so nothing dies in a wall cavity you cannot reach, and the contamination gets cleaned out. It is a one-time repair with a 100% money-back guarantee, not a monthly contract.

Something is moving above the ceiling at night, or there are droppings along a joist, or the dog will not stop watching one corner of the kitchen. The first job is closing the way in, so the number inside stops growing.
We trap rather than bait. A poisoned rat dies inside the wall or the floor system it was living in, where nobody can reach it, and the smell that follows lasts weeks. Everything we catch leaves the building.
Before any trap goes down, the way in gets sealed - see rodent proofing - so nothing new arrives while we work. Trapping then runs over several days rather than one visit, because rats avoid anything new in a familiar space until it stops being new.

Exclusion is the part almost nobody sells you, and it is the only part that ends the problem. Every opening a rodent can use gets closed with our lifetime-warranted rodent-proofing products, material it cannot chew: galvanized steel mesh, sheet metal, hardware cloth and mortar. Not foam, not caulk, not steel wool pushed into a hole.
On a Lowcountry house that starts underneath. Crawl space vents get re-screened in steel, access doors are made to seal again, failed skirting along the pier line is closed, and every point where plumbing, ducting or wiring passes up through the floor gets packed and collared. Then the roofline, the soffit and gable vents and the eaves.
Anything larger than a quarter of an inch gets sealed, because that is the threshold that excludes rats and mice both. It is a one-time repair, it carries the 100% money-back guarantee, and it very often gets quoted alongside encapsulation, because sealing the crawl space closes most of these openings anyway.

Two brothers who chose this over television
Their father, David Schuelke Sr., started the business in 1982 and taught his twin sons the trade in high school, in his words so they would have something to fall back on. Jim and Dave have run it since 1992.
In between, a talent agent signed them at the Sherman Oaks Galleria. They shot a Jeep commercial for the 1994 Winter Olympics and appeared on EXTRA. Then they came back to the trade, specifically because of what they thought of its reputation: show up late, walk in with dirty boots, leave a mess.
That is the whole business model. Everything else, including the 626,000-subscriber channel, the training center they built for new hires, and filming the ugly jobs instead of hiding them, follows from it. Read the full story →

FAQ
Rodent control and crawl space work in Charleston: common questions
How much does crawl space work cost in Charleston?
It depends on the size of the space, how wet it is, and how much has to come out before anything goes in. A dry crawl space needing a vapor barrier is a very different job from one with standing water, fallen insulation and rot.
It starts with a free phone estimate, which is a call rather than a visit. What the space actually needs is established on site, and you’ll know the recommended scope of work and pricing before moving forward with the next phase.
Why does my crawl space keep getting damp when there is no leak?
Because the moisture is not coming from a leak. Bare soil gives off water continuously, and open vents bring in warm humid air that condenses on the cooler surfaces under your floor. Both happen constantly and neither shows up as anything you would notice as a leak, which is why the cause is so often missed.
Do you use poison?
No. We don’t use rodent poison inside your home. Poison can leave a rodent dying in an inaccessible wall or ceiling cavity, creating odor and potentially attracting flies — and it still doesn’t solve the most important problem: how the rodent got inside in the first place.
Our approach is different. We find the entry points and seal them first. Then we use specialized trapping systems and rodent-monitoring cameras in high-activity areas to quickly and efficiently eliminate what remains inside and verify activity has stopped.
Find it. Seal it. Trap & monitor it. Solve it for good.
How do you remove rodents from inside walls and ceilings?
We specialize in fast removal of rodents living inside walls and ceilings. After we locate their entry points and seal them, we strategically deploy our specialized trapping and monitoring systems.
One of those systems is our patented Rat Vac trapping device, which is designed to extract multiple rodents using a single bait setup — with capacity for up to 60 mice or 33 rats.
The rodents are captured in a self-contained system, helping keep the trapping process contained and away from children and pets. We also use rodent-monitoring cameras in high-activity areas to track activity and help confirm when the problem has been eliminated.
No poison in your walls. No guessing. Find the entry point. Seal it. Then get them out — fast.
How long does the whole job take?
Every job is different depending on the entry points, the structure of the building, how wet the crawl space is, and how much has to come out before anything goes in. We have solved some problems within a few days, while more complex cases take a bit longer.
Our goal is to fix the cause rather than the symptom — and the rodent exclusion is backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.
Do you fix the cause or just clean it up?
Both, in that order, and priced as one job. Cleaning up mold or replacing insulation without fixing the moisture that ruined it is work you will pay for again in a couple of years. If you only want the cleanup we will tell you plainly what we expect to happen.
What does your 100% money-back guarantee mean?
It means we stand behind our work. If you hire us to solve your rodent problem, we confirm the source of the infestation, complete the recommended work, and if we don’t solve the problem, you get your money back.
That’s also why we use rodent-monitoring cameras in high-activity areas. We don’t just set traps and assume the problem is gone — we monitor rodent activity to help verify that the problem has been resolved.
Our goal is simple: find how they’re getting in, seal the entry points, eliminate what remains, and solve the problem for good — all backed by our 100% money-back guarantee.
