Eliminate unwanted rats and mice with targeted trapping, complete entry point exclusion, and ongoing prevention strategies built to secure your home or business structure.
Rats and mice invading a building cause swift damage by gnawing on electrical wiring, ruining insulation, and fouling attic spaces with hazardous droppings. Left unchecked, a small rodent presence rapidly multiplies, creating health risks and structural hazards behind your drywall. Simple snap traps placed in living areas only remove a fraction of the population while leaving primary roof and foundation entry paths wide open.

Rats and mice can squeeze through remarkably small openings—mice require only a quarter-inch gap, while rats can fit through holes the size of a quarter. They frequently enter through unsealed roof vents, damaged soffits, gap-filled utility pipe entries, or damaged garage door weather seals.
Poison baits often cause targeted animals to die hidden inside wall cavities or attic insulation, producing severe odor issues. Physical exclusion combined with indoor trapping ensures animals are removed directly while permanently blocking future pests from entering.
Common signs include scratching noises in ceilings or walls at night, dark capsule-shaped droppings in pantries or attics, gnaw marks on food packaging and baseboards, or oily smudge marks along walls where animals travel.
Most residential situations require two to three follow-up visits over a two-week period. This timeline allows us to check trapping arrays, remove captured animals, verify seal integrity, and ensure no remaining rodents are trapped inside.
Yes, we utilize heavy-duty galvanized steel mesh, high-grade flashing, and specialized expanding foams that withstand Florida weather conditions and resist chewing attempts by persistent pests.
