We’ve been protecting Rital families from rodent problems with honest, transparent service that puts your needs first. As a family-owned business, you work directly with the owner—not a rotating cast of technicians who don’t know your situation.
We’ve earned over 100 five-star Google reviews and BBB accreditation by responding to calls 24/7, even on weekends. When you have a rodent emergency, we’re available when other companies aren’t.
Our deep understanding of Hernando County’s unique rodent challenges means we know exactly how roof rats and other local species behave, where they hide, and how to eliminate them permanently from Rital homes.
First, we conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify the specific rodent species, entry points, and extent of the infestation. Most rodent problems in Rital involve roof rats that enter through small gaps in your roofline or attic vents.
Next, we strategically place professional-grade traps in areas where rodents are most active, typically in your attic space where they nest and spend most of their time. Our traps are more effective than store-bought options because we know exactly where to place them based on rodent behavior patterns.
The third step involves identifying all entry points—even ones as small as a quarter—using durable materials that rodents cannot chew through. This exclusion work is critical because without it, new rodents will simply replace the ones we’ve removed.
Finally, we clean and sanitize affected areas to remove droppings, urine stains, and odors that can attract new rodents to your property. If needed, we’ll also repair any insulation damage caused by the infestation.

Your rodent control service includes comprehensive exclusion work that addresses the unique challenges of Rital’s warm, humid climate. Florida’s weather creates ideal conditions for roof rats, which are excellent climbers that access homes through tree branches, power lines, and small gaps in rooflines.
We identify entry points using materials specifically chosen for Florida’s climate—metal mesh, steel wool, and expanding foam that won’t deteriorate in high humidity. Our exclusion work targets common entry points in Rital homes including soffit vents, roof tiles, and gaps around plumbing penetrations.
The service also includes attic inspection and cleanup when necessary, removing contaminated insulation and sanitizing areas where rodents have nested. This prevents the spread of diseases and eliminates odors that could attract future infestations to your Rital property.
Roof rats in Rital typically enter homes through surprisingly small openings—any gap larger than a quarter gives them access. The most common entry points are gaps in your roofline where different materials meet, damaged soffit vents, and spaces around plumbing or electrical penetrations.
These athletic climbers use tree branches, power lines, and even your home’s exterior walls to reach your roof. Once there, they squeeze through openings that most homeowners never notice. Florida’s building materials can also shift and create new gaps over time due to our climate.
During our inspection, we identify every potential entry point and identify them with materials that rodents cannot chew through, ensuring they can’t return even if they try the same routes that got them in originally.
The most obvious signs include hearing scratching or scurrying sounds in your walls or attic, especially between midnight and dawn when rodents are most active. You might also find small, dark droppings in cabinets, pantries, or along baseboards.
Other telltale signs include gnaw marks on food packaging, furniture, or wiring, as well as greasy rub marks along walls where rodents repeatedly travel the same paths. You might notice a musky odor in areas where rodents are nesting, or find shredded materials like insulation or fabric.
If you see one rodent, there are likely many more since they reproduce quickly and live in family groups. Don’t wait for the problem to worsen—early intervention prevents extensive property damage and health risks.
Professional rodent control costs in Rital vary based on the size of your home, extent of the infestation, and amount of exclusion work needed. Most homeowners invest between $300-800 for comprehensive rodent elimination and exclusion, which is far less than the potential damage rodents can cause to your property.
The investment pays for itself quickly when you consider that rodents can chew through electrical wiring (creating fire hazards), contaminate insulation, and cause thousands in structural damage. Professional service also eliminates the health risks associated with rodent-borne diseases.
We provide transparent phone quotes and never surprise you with hidden fees. Many Rital homeowners find our service costs less than they expected, especially when compared to the ongoing expense and frustration of trying DIY solutions that don’t work.
Yes, we offer same-day rodent control service in Rital for most situations, including weekends and emergencies. As a family-owned business, we understand that rodent problems can’t wait for regular business hours—especially when you’re dealing with rats in living areas or health concerns.
When you call, you’ll speak directly with the owner who can often provide service within hours of your call. We keep our schedule flexible specifically to handle urgent situations that larger companies can’t accommodate.
Same-day service includes initial inspection, trap placement, and identification of immediate entry points. While complete exclusion work might require a follow-up visit depending on the scope, we can stop the immediate problem quickly and give you peace of mind right away.
Florida’s warm, humid climate creates ideal conditions for roof rats year-round, unlike northern climates where cold weather naturally controls populations. Rital’s abundant vegetation, including the oak trees and palm trees common in the area, provides perfect highways for these agile climbers to access homes.
The combination of suburban development mixed with natural areas gives roof rats both shelter and food sources. They nest in attics during the day and forage at night, making them perfectly adapted to residential neighborhoods like those throughout Rital.
Additionally, Florida’s building styles—with tile roofs, soffit vents, and elevated construction—create numerous small entry points that roof rats exploit. Regular professional inspection helps identify and identify these vulnerabilities before they become major problems.
Our exclusion work focuses on permanently identifying every possible entry point using materials specifically chosen for Florida’s climate and rodent behavior. We use heavy-gauge steel mesh, copper wool, and expanding foam that won’t deteriorate in humidity or be chewed through by determined rodents.
Beyond identifying entry points, we eliminate factors that attract rodents to your property in the first place. This includes removing nesting materials, cleaning contaminated areas, and providing guidance on landscaping and storage practices that discourage future infestations.
We also provide follow-up inspections to ensure our exclusion work remains effective and address any new vulnerabilities that might develop. Our goal isn’t just to eliminate your current problem—it’s to ensure you never have to deal with rodents in your Rital home again.
