You shouldn’t have to listen to scratching in your walls or worry about what’s contaminating your kitchen. When rodents invade your Pasadena Shores home, you need more than temporary fixes—you need complete elimination and prevention.
Our rodent control service doesn’t just remove the rats and mice you can see. We find every entry point, identify gaps you didn’t know existed, and create a barrier that keeps new rodents from moving in next month.
Your family deserves a clean, safe home. After our comprehensive treatment, you’ll have exactly that—plus the peace of mind that comes from knowing the problem is actually solved, not just covered up.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting Pasadena Shores families from rodent infestations for years. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner—not a call center or rotating technicians who don’t know your situation.
We answer our phone 24/7, even on weekends. Most quotes happen over the phone, so you know what you’re paying before we arrive. No surprises, no runaround, just honest service from people who live and work in your community.
Our 100+ five-star Google reviews come from neighbors who’ve dealt with the same Florida rodent problems you’re facing. They chose us because we understand what works in our climate and housing styles.
First, we inspect your entire property to identify active rodent areas and every possible entry point. Rodents can squeeze through gaps the size of a quarter, so this step determines whether your treatment succeeds or fails.
Next, we remove existing rodents using humane trapping methods that work fast. While that’s happening, we identify entry points with materials rodents can’t chew through—not the foam or steel wool that fails after a few months.
Finally, we clean contaminated areas and apply preventive treatments to keep new rodents from establishing territory. You’ll know exactly what we found, what we fixed, and how to spot early warning signs if new issues develop.

Your rodent control service includes thorough attic inspection and cleanup, since that’s where most Florida roof rats establish their primary nesting areas. We remove contaminated insulation when necessary and sanitize spaces that pose health risks to your family.
Pasadena Shores homes face unique challenges from Norway rats entering through ground-level gaps and roof rats accessing attics through overhanging tree branches. Our local experience means we know exactly where to look and how these rodents behave in our specific climate.
We also handle squirrel control for homes, since these larger rodents cause significant structural damage and often return to the same nesting sites year after year. Our exclusion work prevents re-entry while addressing the damage they’ve already caused.
Roof rats typically access Pasadena Shores attics through three main entry points: gaps where roof lines meet walls, openings around vents and pipes, and damaged soffit areas. These rats are excellent climbers and often use overhanging tree branches as highways to your roof.
In Florida’s humid climate, building materials expand and contract, creating gaps that weren’t there when your home was built. Roof rats only need an opening the size of a quarter to squeeze inside, so even small gaps become major problems.
We find most attic infestations start with one or two entry points that homeowners can’t see from ground level. That’s why our inspection covers your entire roof line, not just obvious damage areas.
The most obvious signs are scratching or scurrying sounds in walls and ceilings, especially at night when rodents are most active. You might also notice small, dark droppings in cabinets, pantries, or along baseboards.
Other warning signs include chewed food packaging, gnaw marks on wood or plastic, and small holes in walls or cabinets. Rodents also leave greasy smear marks along walls where they regularly travel, and you might detect a musty odor in areas with heavy infestations.
If you’re finding any of these signs, you likely have more rodents than you realize. Rodents reproduce quickly, so what seems like a small problem can become a major infestation within weeks.
Professional rodent proofing costs vary based on your home’s size, the number of entry points, and the extent of existing damage. Most Pasadena Shores homes require $300-800 for comprehensive exclusion work, which includes identifying all entry points and removing existing rodents.
This investment prevents the recurring costs of temporary treatments that don’t address root causes. Many homeowners spend more on repeated DIY attempts than they would on professional service that actually solves the problem permanently.
We provide phone quotes for most situations, so you’ll know the cost before scheduling service. Our pricing includes follow-up visits to ensure the treatment worked and warranty coverage on our exclusion work.
Roof rats require a combination of removal and exclusion since they’re persistent and athletic climbers. Trapping alone won’t work if you don’t identify their entry points—new rats will simply move into the territory within days.
Start by trimming tree branches at least six feet from your roof line, since roof rats use these as access routes. Then identify and identify every gap larger than a quarter-inch using materials rats can’t chew through, like hardware cloth or metal flashing.
The most effective approach combines strategic trapping with comprehensive identifying and ongoing monitoring. DIY methods often fail because homeowners miss entry points or use materials that rodents can defeat within months.
Humane rodent trapping works extremely well when combined with proper exclusion techniques. Live traps actually catch rodents more consistently than lethal methods because they don’t create fear scents that make other rodents avoid the area.
The key is using the right bait, trap placement, and follow-up protocol. Rodents are creatures of habit, so traps must be positioned along their established travel routes, not just where you’ve seen droppings or damage.
Humane methods also allow us to determine exactly how many rodents we’re dealing with and whether we’ve eliminated the entire population. This information helps us adjust our exclusion strategy and provide accurate timelines for complete resolution.
Rodents cause three main types of damage in Pasadena Shores homes: structural damage from chewing, insulation contamination from droppings and urine, and electrical hazards from gnawed wires. Roof rats and squirrels are particularly destructive because they establish large nesting areas in attics.
Contaminated insulation loses its effectiveness and creates health risks from airborne particles. Rodent urine soaks into wood and drywall, creating persistent odors and potential mold problems in Florida’s humid climate.
Chewed electrical wires pose serious fire risks and often require professional electrical work beyond basic pest control. Our rodent damage repair service addresses all these issues, from insulation replacement to structural repairs, so your home is truly restored after an infestation.
