Rodents FAQ

Common questions about our service.

How do rodents get into my house?

Mice can squeeze through gaps as small as a dime, and rats through openings the size of a quarter. Common entry points include gaps around pipes, AC lines, roof vents, garage door seals, and foundation cracks. Our exclusion service seals these entry points.

Are rodents dangerous to my health?

Yes. Rodents carry diseases including Hantavirus, Salmonella, and Leptospirosis. They contaminate food and surfaces with droppings and urine, and their gnawing on wires creates fire hazards. Prompt professional treatment is important.

How long does it take to get rid of rodents?

Most rodent infestations can be significantly reduced within 1–2 weeks with professional trapping. Complete elimination and exclusion typically takes 2–4 weeks depending on severity. We monitor throughout until the problem is fully resolved.

Do you use poison for rodent control?

We use integrated pest management — combining traps, exclusion, and targeted bait stations when appropriate. We avoid open poison due to risks to children, pets, and wildlife. Our approach is effective and responsible.

I hear scratching in my attic — is that rodents?

Scratching or scurrying sounds in the attic, especially at night, are a strong indicator of rodent activity. Roof rats are common in Florida and often nest in attics. We include attic inspection with our rodent service.
