You’ll sleep better knowing those scratching sounds in your attic are gone for good. No more wondering if that’s a mouse you just saw dart across the kitchen floor, or worrying about your family’s health from contaminated surfaces.
When we’re done, your home will be completely identifyed against future invasions. You’ll have a comprehensive plan in place, and you’ll know exactly what we did to solve the problem. Most importantly, you’ll have direct access to the owner’s cell phone if anything comes up.
That’s the difference between a quick fix and a real solution. We don’t just trap what you can see—we find every entry point, identify your home properly, and make sure the problem doesn’t come back.
We’ve been protecting Elfers families from rodent infestations with the kind of personal service that’s getting harder to find. When you call us, you’re talking directly to the owner—not a call center, not a salesperson, but the guy who’s going to show up at your house.
We’ve built our reputation in Hernando County and surrounding areas by doing what we say we’ll do. Over 100 five-star Google reviews don’t happen by accident. They happen because we answer our phones 24/7, show up when we say we will, and solve problems the right way the first time.
Elfers homeowners deal with unique challenges. The warm, humid climate and proximity to the Pithlachascotee River create perfect conditions for roof rats and other rodents. We understand these local conditions because we live here too.
First, we inspect your entire property—not just where you’ve seen the problem. We’re looking for entry points, damage, droppings, and signs you might have missed. Most Elfers homes have multiple access points that homeowners never notice.
Next, we remove every rodent using humane, effective methods. No poison that leaves dead animals in your walls. We trap and remove them properly, following all state regulations and safety protocols.
Then comes the most important part: permanent exclusion. We identify every gap, crack, and potential entry point with materials rodents can’t chew through. This includes areas around vents, pipes, soffits, and rooflines where roof rats typically enter Elfers homes.
Finally, we clean up any contamination and provide you with a clear prevention plan. You’ll know exactly what to watch for and have our direct number if you ever need us again.

Your rodent control service includes a thorough inspection of your entire property, professional removal of all rodents, complete exclusion and identifying of entry points, and cleanup of any contamination. We also provide attic damage repair if needed, including insulation replacement and wire repair.
In Elfers, we see a lot of roof rat problems because of the area’s lush vegetation and older home construction. These agile climbers use tree branches and utility lines to access roofs, then squeeze through gaps as small as half an inch. Our exclusion work specifically addresses these local challenges.
You’ll also receive our prevention guide tailored to Elfers properties, showing you how to maintain a rodent-free environment. We include follow-up inspections and guarantee our work. If rodents return within our guarantee period, we’ll come back at no additional charge.
Military families and new homeowners in Elfers qualify for special discounts. We believe everyone deserves a safe, pest-free home regardless of budget constraints.
The most common signs include scratching or scurrying noises in your attic, especially at night when roof rats are most active. You might also notice small, dark droppings about half an inch long with pointed ends, typically found near food sources or in the attic.
Look for gnaw marks on electrical wires, wood, or stored items, and greasy rub marks along walls where rats frequently travel. In severe cases, you might see actual damage to insulation, drywall, or air ducts. Many Elfers homeowners first notice the problem when they hear activity overhead or find chewed items in storage areas.
If you suspect roof rats, don’t wait. These pests multiply quickly and can cause serious fire hazards by chewing electrical wiring. The sooner you address the problem, the less damage you’ll have to repair.
Elfers’ warm climate and proximity to the Pithlachascotee River create ideal conditions for rodents year-round. They’re attracted to readily available food sources like pet food, birdseed, fruit trees, and unsecured garbage. The area’s mix of historic and newer homes provides numerous entry points through aging construction materials and gaps around utilities.
Dense vegetation, palm trees, and overgrown landscaping give rodents cover and nesting sites close to your home. Once they’re established outside, they look for ways inside seeking food, water, and shelter. Roof rats are particularly drawn to attics because they’re warm, quiet, and undisturbed.
The suburban setting in Elfers, combined with ongoing development that disturbs natural habitats, often pushes rodents into residential areas. Even clean, well-maintained homes can have rodent problems if entry points aren’t properly identifyed.
Most rodent control projects in Elfers range from a few hundred to over a thousand dollars, depending on the severity of the infestation and the amount of exclusion work needed. A simple mouse problem might cost less than a major roof rat infestation requiring extensive identifying and attic cleanup.
We provide most quotes over the phone after discussing your specific situation. This saves you time and gives you pricing upfront without pressure. Factors affecting cost include the size of your property, number of entry points, extent of damage, and whether attic cleanup is needed.
Remember that professional rodent control is an investment in your family’s health and your home’s protection. The cost of fire damage from chewed electrical wires or health issues from contaminated surfaces far exceeds the price of proper rodent control. We also offer military discounts and payment options for new homeowners.
DIY methods rarely solve the whole problem, especially with roof rats common in Elfers. Store-bought traps might catch a few rodents, but they don’t address the root cause: how they’re getting in and what’s attracting them to your property.
Roof rats are particularly challenging because they’re excellent climbers and often nest in hard-to-reach places like attics and wall voids. Without proper exclusion work, new rodents will simply replace the ones you trap. Plus, improper trap placement or bait selection often leads to poor results.
Professional rodent control includes identifying all entry points, understanding rodent behavior patterns, using commercial-grade materials for exclusion, and safely handling contaminated areas. We also know Florida regulations for wildlife handling and disposal. While DIY might seem cheaper initially, most homeowners end up calling professionals anyway after months of frustration.
We guarantee a response within 24 hours, and often we can be there the same day you call. As a family-owned business, you’re dealing directly with the owner who understands that rodent problems can’t wait, especially when there are health and safety concerns.
We’re available 24/7 because rodent emergencies don’t happen on a convenient schedule. Whether you’re hearing activity in your walls at midnight or you’ve discovered extensive damage during a weekend, we’ll answer your call and arrange service as quickly as possible.
Our rapid response is particularly important with roof rats, which can cause fire hazards by chewing electrical wiring. The sooner we address the problem, the less risk to your family and property. We keep our trucks stocked and ready, and we know Elfers and surrounding areas well, so we can get to you fast.
Yes, we guarantee our rodent exclusion and control work. If rodents return within our guarantee period, we’ll come back and address the problem at no additional charge. This isn’t just a warranty on our materials—it’s a commitment to solving your rodent problem permanently.
Our guarantee covers the exclusion work we perform, meaning the entry points we identify should remain rodent-proof. However, new damage to your home or changes you make that create new entry points wouldn’t be covered. We’ll explain exactly what’s included when we provide your service.
We stand behind our work because we use commercial-grade materials and proven techniques. Most rodent problems in Elfers stay solved when the exclusion work is done properly the first time. If something does go wrong, you have our direct number and our commitment to make it right.
