When we finish your rodent control service in Seven Springs, your attic stays quiet. Your wiring stays intact. Your family stays safe from the diseases roof rats carry—salmonella, leptospirosis, and worse.

Around The Clock Pest Service has protected Seven Springs families for over 14 years. We’re not some big corporate outfit—when you call, you work directly with the owner.
We’re BBB Accredited and fully licensed through the Florida Department of Agriculture. That means proper training, proper equipment, and proper results.
As Seven Springs locals, we know Florida’s warm climate makes roof rats a year-round problem. These aren’t your typical ground rats—they’re excellent climbers that sneak in through tiny gaps around your roofline, especially during cooler months when they seek shelter indoors.
First, we inspect your entire property—attic to foundation—to identify exactly how rats are getting in and where they’re nesting. Roof rats can squeeze through gaps smaller than a quarter, so this step matters.
Next, we remove all rodents using humane trapping methods that work fast. No poison that leaves dead rats rotting in your walls.
Then comes the critical part: permanent exclusion. We identify every entry point with steel mesh and professional-grade materials. Vents, soffits, gaps around pipes—everything gets properly secured.
Finally, we clean and sanitize contaminated areas, removing droppings and odor that could attract new rodents. Your Seven Springs home gets restored to a healthy, pest-free condition.

Your rodent control service covers complete removal, exclusion, and cleanup. We handle roof rats, Norway rats, mice, and squirrels.
In Seven Springs, roof rats are the biggest concern. They love our palm trees and warm weather, using branches and power lines to access your roof. Once inside, they build nests in attics and wall voids, chew through electrical wiring, and contaminate your living space.
Our service includes identifying rat droppings (spindle-shaped, about half an inch long), identifying entry points around your roofline, trimming vegetation that provides access routes, and installing barriers that keep rodents out permanently.
We also provide attic restoration when needed—replacing damaged insulation, repairing chewed wires, and eliminating odors that signal “safe nesting spot” to other rodents.
Roof rats are excellent climbers that use tree branches, palm fronds, and utility lines to reach your roof. They only need a gap the size of a quarter to squeeze inside.
Common entry points include gaps around roof vents, damaged soffits, spaces where utility lines enter your home, and openings around chimneys or exhaust fans. In Seven Springs, overgrown vegetation often provides a highway directly to your roofline.
We inspect every potential access point and identify them with steel mesh and professional-grade identifyants that rats can’t chew through.
The most obvious sign is scratching or scurrying noises in your attic or walls, especially at night when rats are most active. You might also notice your pets staring at walls or acting unusually alert.
Look for droppings near baseboards, in the attic, or around food sources. Rat droppings are dark, spindle-shaped, and about half an inch long. You might also see gnaw marks on wires, wood, or stored items, plus greasy rub marks along walls where rats frequently travel.
If you smell a persistent musky odor or find shredded materials in hidden areas, that’s likely nesting material. Don’t wait—roof rat infestations grow rapidly.
Most rodent control services in Seven Springs range from $300 to $500 for initial treatment, depending on the severity of your infestation and the size of your property.
Complete exclusion work—identifying all entry points—typically costs between $200 and $1,000 additional, but it’s the only way to prevent future infestations. This includes materials like steel mesh, professional identifyants, and labor for accessing difficult areas like rooflines and crawl spaces.
We provide upfront pricing with no surprise fees. Many homeowners find that investing in proper exclusion saves money long-term by preventing recurring infestations and expensive damage repairs.
Yes, roof rats pose serious health risks. They carry diseases including salmonella, leptospirosis, rat-bite fever, and murine typhus that can be transmitted through their droppings, urine, and saliva.
When rat droppings dry out, particles can become airborne and contaminate your indoor air quality. Rats also introduce fleas and ticks into your home, creating additional health concerns.
Beyond disease, roof rats cause dangerous structural damage by chewing electrical wires, which can spark house fires. They also contaminate food sources and damage insulation, creating costly repairs. Professional removal and sanitization are essential for protecting your family.
We offer same-day service for rodent emergencies in Seven Springs, often responding within hours of your call. We understand that hearing rats in your walls or finding evidence of an infestation creates immediate concern for your family’s safety.
Our team is available 24/7, including weekends, because rodent problems don’t wait for business hours. We prioritize emergency calls where there’s evidence of electrical wire damage or signs of a large infestation.
When you call, you speak directly with the owner—no call center runaround. We’ll walk you through what to expect and get a technician to your property as quickly as possible.
DIY traps might catch a few rats, but they don’t address the root problem—how rats are getting into your home. Store-bought solutions also can’t identify and identify the multiple entry points roof rats use.
Professional rodent control includes complete property inspection, identification of all access routes, humane removal of existing rodents, permanent exclusion work, and sanitization of contaminated areas. We also provide warranties on our exclusion work.
Most importantly, we understand roof rat behavior specific to Central Florida. These aren’t ground-dwelling Norway rats—they’re agile climbers with different nesting preferences and entry methods. Effective control requires species-specific expertise and professional-grade materials that homeowners can’t access.
