No more scratching in your attic at 2 AM. No more finding droppings in your kitchen. No more wondering if those chewed wires are about to start a fire.
When we’re done, your home becomes a fortress against rats and mice. You get back to living without constantly listening for sounds in the walls or checking corners for signs they’re back.
The relief hits immediately when you realize you can finally stop worrying about what’s happening in your attic while you sleep.
George Lundin doesn’t just own Around The Clock Pest Service—he’s the one who shows up at your door. No rotating technicians, no wondering who’s coming to your home.
We’ve been protecting families in Cooglers Beach and surrounding areas for over 14 years because we understand something other companies miss: rodent control isn’t just about setting traps. It’s about understanding how Florida’s warm climate, abundant palm trees, and coastal environment create perfect conditions for roof rats to thrive year-round.
That local knowledge means we know exactly where to look, what signs to watch for, and how to identify your home so they can’t get back in.
First, we inspect every inch of your property—attic to foundation. Roof rats can squeeze through openings the size of a quarter, so we check soffits, vents, utility lines, and anywhere tree branches might give them access to your roof.
Next, we eliminate the current population using strategic trapping and baiting. No guesswork—we place traps based on their travel patterns and feeding habits.
Finally, we identify every entry point with materials they can’t chew through. Steel mesh, exterior-grade identifyants, and proper screening that actually lasts. Most companies skip this step, which is why their customers keep calling back.

You’re not just getting rat removal—you’re getting a complete defense system. We handle everything from initial elimination to long-term prevention, including damage repair when needed.
In Cooglers Beach, roof rats love our palm trees and warm weather. They use overhanging branches like highways to reach your roof, then slip through tiny gaps around vents or damaged soffits. Once inside your attic, they contaminate insulation, chew through wiring, and multiply fast.
Our service addresses the whole problem: current infestation, entry points, attractants, and ongoing monitoring. We also provide cleanup and sanitization because rat droppings and urine pose serious health risks, especially in Florida’s humid climate where bacteria thrives.
Roof rats are excellent climbers that use tree branches, utility lines, and even palm fronds to reach your roof. Once there, they only need a gap the size of a quarter to squeeze inside.
Common entry points include damaged soffits, unidentifyed vents, gaps around plumbing penetrations, and spaces where rooflines meet. In Cooglers Beach’s coastal environment, salt air and humidity can cause materials to deteriorate faster, creating new openings over time.
We inspect every potential entry point during our assessment, including areas most homeowners never think to check. The key is understanding that rats follow scent trails and use established pathways, so identifying just one or two obvious holes won’t solve the problem.
The most obvious sign is hearing scratching or scurrying sounds in your attic, especially at night when roof rats are most active. You might also notice small, dark droppings about half an inch long with pointed ends near food sources or along walls.
Look for gnaw marks on food packaging, furniture, or even electrical wires. Roof rats leave greasy rub marks along walls and rafters from their oily fur. You might also find shredded paper, fabric, or insulation where they’re building nests.
Don’t ignore strange odors either—rat urine has a distinct ammonia-like smell, and if rats die in your walls or attic, the odor becomes unmistakable. If your pets start acting strange, staring at walls or becoming agitated, they might be hearing or smelling rodents you haven’t noticed yet.
Costs vary based on the size of your home, severity of the infestation, and how many entry points need identifying. Most residential jobs in Cooglers Beach range from a few hundred to around $1,500 for comprehensive exclusion work.
The investment pays for itself quickly when you consider the alternative costs: electrical repairs from chewed wires, insulation replacement, health risks from contamination, and the ongoing expense of DIY solutions that don’t work long-term.
We provide free phone quotes and honest assessments. No hidden fees, no pressure tactics. Many customers are surprised to learn professional rodent control costs less than they expected, especially compared to dealing with recurring infestations and property damage.
DIY methods might catch a few rats, but they rarely solve the underlying problem. Store-bought traps and baits don’t address entry points, so new rats keep coming in even after you eliminate the current population.
Roof rats are particularly challenging because they nest in hard-to-reach areas like attics and wall voids. Proper exclusion requires understanding their behavior, identifying all entry points, and using materials they can’t chew through. Most homeowners miss critical access points or use inadequate identifying methods.
Professional service also includes safety considerations—handling contaminated areas, proper disposal of deceased rodents, and using treatments that won’t harm your family or pets. We guarantee our work because we have the experience and tools to solve the problem completely the first time.
We offer same-day service for urgent situations and are available 24/7, including weekends. When you call, you talk directly to George, not a call center, so we can often schedule service within hours of your call.
Rodent emergencies don’t wait for business hours. If you’re hearing rats in your attic at night, finding droppings in your kitchen, or discovering chewed electrical wires, waiting days for service isn’t acceptable.
Our rapid response time is possible because we’re locally owned and operated. We understand that rodent problems cause stress and health concerns for families, so we prioritize getting to your property quickly to assess the situation and begin treatment immediately.
Absolutely. We use targeted treatments that eliminate rodents while keeping your family and pets safe. Our baiting systems are tamper-resistant and placed in areas inaccessible to children and pets.
When we use traps, they’re positioned strategically in areas where rodents travel but away from normal household activity. We explain exactly what we’re doing and where we’re placing treatments so you have complete peace of mind.
All our treatments comply with Florida regulations and industry safety standards. We’re fully licensed and insured, and George has over 14 years of experience using safe, effective methods. Your family’s safety is never compromised in our approach to rodent control.
