We’ve been protecting Weeki Wachee Gardens families from rodent problems with honest, reliable service that actually works. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner—not a call center or rotating technicians.

Our approach is simple: thorough inspections, effective treatments, and complete exclusion work that prevents future problems. No overselling, no surprises—just professional rodent control that protects your family and property.
First, we inspect your entire property to identify entry points and assess the extent of your rodent problem. We look at your roofline, attic, crawl spaces, and foundation—anywhere rats and mice might be getting in.
Next comes removal using professional-grade snap traps and bait stations placed strategically for maximum effectiveness. We monitor these regularly and remove trapped rodents quickly to prevent odors and health risks.
Finally, we identify every potential entry point with galvanized steel mesh, hardware cloth, and other rodent-proof materials. This exclusion work is what separates professional service from temporary fixes—it’s how we guarantee your rodent problem stays solved.

Your rodent control service includes comprehensive inspection, professional trapping, complete exclusion work, and safe cleanup of contaminated areas. We handle everything from roof rats in your attic to mice in your kitchen.
In Weeki Wachee Gardens, roof rats are particularly common due to our abundant fruit trees and warm climate. These agile climbers use tree branches and utility lines to access your roof, then squeeze through openings as small as a quarter to nest in your attic insulation.
We also provide attic sanitation when needed, safely removing contaminated insulation and replacing it with clean materials. Our exclusion work targets the specific entry points common to Florida homes: soffit gaps, roof intersections, vent openings, and foundation cracks that expand in our climate.
The most obvious sign is scratching or scurrying sounds in your ceiling, especially at night when rats are most active. You might also notice droppings in your attic, which are shiny black pellets about half an inch long with pointed ends.
Other signs include gnaw marks on wooden beams or electrical wires, greasy rub marks along walls where rats travel, and a musty odor from their urine and droppings. If you find chewed food packaging in your pantry or see actual rats darting across rooms, the infestation has likely spread beyond the attic.
Don’t ignore these signs—roof rats reproduce quickly, and a small problem becomes a major infestation within weeks. The sooner you address it, the less damage they’ll cause to your insulation, wiring, and structural components.
Rodents carry over 200 pathogens that can make your family seriously ill. In Florida, the main concerns are Leptospirosis, Salmonella, and Rat-Bite Fever, all transmitted through contact with rodent droppings, urine, or contaminated surfaces.
Hantavirus is another serious threat—it spreads when you breathe in virus-containing particles from dried rodent waste that gets stirred into the air. This is why sweeping or vacuuming rodent droppings is dangerous and should be left to professionals with proper equipment.
Children, pregnant women, elderly family members, and anyone with compromised immune systems face the highest risk. Even healthy adults can develop respiratory problems from inhaling contaminated dust from rodent-infested attics. Professional cleanup and sanitation are essential, not optional.
Most rodent control projects in our area range from a few hundred to around $1,500, depending on the size of your home, extent of the infestation, and amount of exclusion work needed. We provide most quotes over the phone after discussing your specific situation.
The cost includes inspection, trapping, exclusion work, and cleanup—everything needed to solve your rodent problem permanently. While this might seem like a significant investment, consider that a single house fire from chewed electrical wires can cost tens of thousands in damage.
We offer military discounts and special pricing for new homeowners because we believe every family deserves a safe, rodent-free home. Most importantly, our work comes with a guarantee—if rodents return, so do we, at no extra charge.
Active trapping typically takes 1-2 weeks, depending on the size of the infestation. However, the exclusion work—identifying entry points to prevent future problems—is usually completed during the first visit and provides immediate protection.
You should notice a significant reduction in activity within the first few days as our traps work. Complete elimination takes longer because rodents are cautious and may avoid traps initially. We monitor and adjust trap placement as needed to ensure we catch every rodent.
The exclusion work provides lasting results immediately. Once we identify all entry points with professional materials, new rodents can’t get in. This is why our approach focuses heavily on prevention—it’s more effective and cost-efficient than repeatedly treating new infestations.
Small, recent infestations might be manageable with store-bought traps, but most rodent problems in Florida require professional intervention. Roof rats are particularly challenging because they nest in hard-to-reach areas like attics and wall voids.
DIY approaches often fail because homeowners can’t identify all entry points or don’t have access to professional-grade exclusion materials. Hardware store steel wool and caulk won’t stop determined rodents—they’ll chew right through these temporary fixes.
The health risks also make professional service essential. Handling contaminated insulation, cleaning droppings safely, and sanitizing affected areas requires proper equipment and training. One mistake during cleanup can expose your family to dangerous pathogens that cause serious illness.
In Weeki Wachee Gardens, you’re most likely dealing with roof rats, which are excellent climbers that prefer nesting in attics and trees. They’re larger than mice, with bodies 6-8 inches long plus their tails, and leave larger droppings with pointed ends.
House mice are smaller and typically stay closer to food sources like kitchens and pantries. They can squeeze through holes the size of a dime and reproduce even faster than rats. Norway rats are less common here—they’re ground dwellers that burrow rather than climb.
Treatment approaches vary because different species have different behaviors and preferences. Roof rats require focus on upper-level entry points and tree trimming, while mice need attention to kitchen and pantry areas. Professional identification ensures we use the right strategy for your specific rodent problem.
