We’ve been protecting Hernando County families from rodent infestations with the kind of personal service you won’t find with the big companies. When you call us, you work directly with the owner—not a call center or rotating technicians.
We understand Orange Grove Villas’ unique challenges. Florida’s warm climate creates perfect conditions for roof rats, mice, and squirrels to thrive year-round. Our state-certified team knows exactly how these pests behave in our local environment and where they’re most likely to enter your home.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews from your neighbors prove we deliver on our promises. We answer every call personally and respond within 24 hours because your family’s safety and peace of mind can’t wait.
First, we perform a thorough inspection of your entire property, inside and out. We locate all entry points—even the quarter-inch gaps that mice can squeeze through—and identify nesting areas in your attic, walls, or crawl spaces.
Next, we humanely trap and remove all rodents using proven methods that keep your family and pets safe. We don’t just set a few traps and hope for the best. Our systematic approach ensures we get every rodent, including the ones you haven’t seen yet.
Finally, we identify every entry point with professional-grade materials that rodents can’t chew through. We also clean and sanitize contaminated areas, then repair any damage they’ve caused. This isn’t just removal—it’s complete restoration and prevention so the problem doesn’t come back.

Orange Grove Villas homes face unique challenges with roof rats that use tree branches as highways to your roof and attic. We trim back vegetation, identify roof vents and eaves, and install specialized guards that stop rodents from accessing your home through overhead entry points.
Our service covers all common Florida rodents including roof rats, Norway rats, house mice, and squirrels. We also address the specific issues these pests create in our humid climate—from contaminated insulation to chewed electrical wiring that creates fire hazards. Every solution is tailored to your specific situation and our local environment.
The most common signs are scratching or scurrying sounds in your walls or attic, especially at night when rodents are most active. You’ll also find small, dark droppings that look like black rice grains near food sources or along walls where they travel.
Check for chewed food packaging in your pantry, small gnaw marks on wooden furniture or baseboards, and tiny holes in walls or near pipes. You might notice a musky odor in areas where they nest, or see grease marks along walls where their fur rubs as they travel the same routes repeatedly.
If you spot even one mouse or rat, there are likely many more hiding nearby. Rodents reproduce quickly—a single pair of mice can produce up to 10 litters per year, so early detection and professional intervention are crucial.
Florida’s year-round warmth means rodents stay active and breed continuously, unlike northern climates where cold weather limits their activity. Our humid environment also provides the moisture they need to survive without seeking water sources.
Orange Grove Villas’ mature landscaping creates perfect “highways” for roof rats, who use tree branches and power lines to access your roof and attic. The combination of citrus trees, dense vegetation, and older homes with multiple entry points makes this area particularly attractive to rodents.
Food sources are abundant here—from pet food left outside to birdseed, fallen fruit, and accessible garbage. Many homes also have attached garages, sheds, and storage areas that provide shelter and nesting opportunities. The key is eliminating these attractions while identifying entry points they use to get inside.
Most of our rodent control services range from $200 to $800 depending on the size of your home, severity of the infestation, and amount of exclusion work needed. We provide most quotes over the phone after asking about your specific situation, so you know the cost upfront.
Simple mouse problems in smaller homes typically cost less, while extensive roof rat infestations requiring attic cleanup and multiple entry point identifying cost more. Additional services like insulation replacement or significant damage repair are quoted separately so you only pay for what you actually need.
We offer special discounts for new homeowners and military families because we believe everyone deserves a safe, rodent-free home. Unlike some companies, we don’t require expensive ongoing contracts—our goal is solving your problem permanently, not creating dependency on monthly services.
Roof rats are excellent climbers that use tree branches, power lines, and even fence posts to reach your roof. Once there, they squeeze through surprisingly small gaps—roof rats only need a half-inch opening, while mice need just a quarter-inch.
Common entry points include gaps where roof lines meet, loose or missing roof tiles, unidentifyed vents, damaged soffits, and areas where utility lines enter your home. They also exploit construction gaps around chimneys, dormers, and where different roofing materials connect.
Many Orange Grove Villas homes have mature oak and citrus trees whose branches touch or overhang roofs, creating perfect access routes. We identify all these entry points during our inspection and identify them with materials rodents can’t chew through, while also trimming back vegetation that provides access to your roof.
Humane trapping is highly effective when combined with comprehensive exclusion work. Simply removing rodents without identifying entry points means new ones will move in within weeks, but our complete approach addresses both the current population and prevents future infestations.
We use a combination of live traps and snap traps depending on the situation, always prioritizing methods that are safe around children and pets. Live-trapped rodents are relocated far from your property, while our exclusion work ensures the space remains unoccupied.
The key to permanent results isn’t just the trapping method—it’s the thoroughness of the exclusion work and ongoing monitoring. Our systematic approach identifies and identifys every potential entry point, removes attractants, and includes follow-up visits to ensure the problem stays solved long-term.
Rodents carry over 35 diseases that can affect humans, including Hantavirus, Salmonella, and rat-bite fever. These diseases spread through direct contact with rodents, their droppings, urine, or saliva, and can also become airborne when contaminated materials are disturbed.
Children and elderly family members are particularly vulnerable because their immune systems may not handle these pathogens as effectively. Rodent droppings in your attic or walls can contaminate your home’s air quality, while their urine creates ammonia vapors that cause respiratory irritation.
Beyond disease, rodents create serious safety hazards by chewing through electrical wiring, which causes thousands of house fires annually. They also contaminate food surfaces and stored items, creating ongoing health risks until the infestation is completely eliminated and contaminated areas are properly cleaned and sanitized.
