You’ll sleep better knowing every entry point is identifyed and every rodent is gone. No more chewed wires threatening your family’s safety. No more contaminated food or embarrassing situations when guests visit.
Our rodent exclusion and identifying process doesn’t just remove the current problem—it prevents future infestations. You get peace of mind that comes from knowing your attic, walls, and foundation are properly protected against rats, mice, and squirrels.
When we finish, you’ll have a home that stays rodent-free year-round. That’s the difference between a quick fix and a real solution.
Around The Clock Pest Service has been protecting Connerton homes for over 14 years. You work directly with the owner—not some call center or rotating technicians who don’t know your situation.
We’re BBB accredited with 100+ five-star Google reviews because we do what we say we’ll do. When you call, you get honest answers and fair pricing, not high-pressure sales tactics.
Connerton’s newer construction helps, but Florida’s year-round warmth still attracts roof rats and house mice looking for comfortable nesting spots. We know exactly where they enter and how to stop them permanently.
First, we inspect every possible entry point—roof intersections, vents, pipe penetrations, and foundation gaps. Rats can squeeze through openings as small as half an inch, so we check everything.
Next comes humane rodent trapping to remove the existing population. No poison that creates stinking dead rodents in your walls. We use professional-grade traps placed in the right locations based on rodent behavior patterns.
Finally, we identify every access point with rodent-resistant materials. Steel wool, hardware cloth, and expanding foam in the right combinations. This exclusion work comes with our guarantee—if they get back in through our identifyed areas, we return at no charge.

Your rodent control service includes full inspection, humane trapping, complete exclusion work, and contamination cleanup. We also handle rodent damage repair—replacing chewed insulation and damaged wiring that creates fire hazards.
Connerton’s proximity to wooded areas means squirrels are common culprits alongside rats and mice. These athletic climbers can jump eight feet from tree branches to your roof, so we address landscaping recommendations too.
You get ongoing monitoring with bait stations placed strategically around your property. This prevents new infestations before they start, especially important in Florida where rodent activity never really stops.
Roof rats are exceptional climbers that access your attic through roof intersections, damaged soffit areas, and gaps around pipe penetrations. They can squeeze through openings as small as half an inch—about the width of your thumb.
In Connerton, we commonly find entry points where the roof meets exterior walls, around attic vents, and through damaged fascia boards. Spanish tile roofs, popular in Florida construction, create multiple hiding spots where rats slip underneath tiles.
Tree branches overhanging your roof provide highways for these agile rodents. Any branch within eight feet of your roofline gives them easy access, which is why we often recommend strategic tree trimming as part of comprehensive rodent proofing.
Fresh droppings are the most obvious sign—they’re dark, shiny, and putty-like when new. You’ll typically find them along walls, in pantries, and near food sources. Old droppings turn gray and crumble when touched.
Scratching sounds in walls or attics, especially at night, indicate active rodent movement. You might also notice gnaw marks on food packaging, baseboards, or electrical wires. Rodents gnaw constantly to keep their teeth sharp.
Urine stains and strong ammonia odors are other telltale signs. Rodent urine actually glows under black light, which we use during inspections to track their travel patterns and identify contaminated areas that need professional cleaning.
Rodent control pricing depends on your home’s size, the extent of the infestation, and how many entry points need identifying. Most Connerton homes require $300-800 for comprehensive rodent exclusion work.
This includes inspection, trapping, complete exclusion of all entry points, and initial cleanup. Ongoing monitoring with exterior bait stations typically runs $40-60 per quarterly service, which prevents future infestations.
We provide upfront pricing with no hidden fees. Many homeowners find this investment pays for itself quickly when you consider the cost of damaged insulation, chewed wires, and contaminated food that rodents cause over time.
Poison creates more problems than it solves in residential settings. Poisoned rodents often die inside walls or attics, creating terrible odors and attracting other pests as they decompose.
There’s also serious risk to children, pets, and wildlife who might access bait stations or consume poisoned rodents. Florida’s ecosystem includes owls, hawks, and other predators that can be harmed by secondary poisoning.
Professional trapping combined with exclusion work is safer and more effective. You get immediate results without the health risks, and the exclusion prevents new rodents from moving in to replace the ones you’ve eliminated.
We offer same-day service for rodent emergencies in Connerton. When you call before noon, we can typically have a technician at your property that afternoon for inspection and initial trapping setup.
As a family-owned business, you reach the owner directly—no call centers or scheduling delays. We understand that rodent problems cause stress and sleep loss, so we prioritize fast response times.
Most complete rodent exclusion projects are finished within 2-3 days, depending on your home’s size and the extent of entry point identifying required. Emergency situations get immediate attention, even on weekends.
Proper exclusion work prevents rodents from returning through the same entry points. We guarantee our identifying work—if rodents re-enter through areas we’ve identifyed, we return at no charge to fix the problem.
However, rodents are persistent and may find new ways in if your property has ongoing attractants like accessible food sources or new structural gaps that develop over time.
That’s why we recommend ongoing monitoring with exterior bait stations. These catch new rodent activity before it becomes an infestation, providing long-term protection for your Connerton home. Most customers find quarterly monitoring gives them complete peace of mind.
