You’ll sleep soundly knowing your attic is quiet, your wires are safe, and your family is protected from disease-carrying pests. No more scratching sounds at 3 AM. No more finding droppings on your kitchen counter.
Our comprehensive approach eliminates current infestations and identifys every possible entry point—even gaps as small as a quarter. You get permanent protection, not temporary fixes that leave you dealing with the same problem months later.
The peace of mind is immediate. The protection lasts a lifetime.
We’ve been protecting Shady Hills families and businesses throughout Hernando and neighboring Florida counties for years. As a family-run business, you work directly with the owner—not a rotating cast of technicians who don’t know your property.
Every call gets answered personally. Every quote comes with transparent pricing over the phone. Every job gets the same attention we’d give our own home.
Our 100+ five-star Google reviews aren’t from slick marketing—they’re from neighbors who needed real solutions and got them. In Shady Hills’ warm, humid climate where roof rats thrive year-round, you need someone who understands local pest behavior and delivers results that stick.
First, we conduct a thorough inspection of your entire property—attic to foundation. We identify every entry point, assess damage, and locate active nesting areas. You’ll know exactly what we found and what needs to happen next.
Next comes the exclusion work. We identify every gap, crack, and potential entry point using professional-grade materials like steel mesh and hardware cloth. This isn’t temporary patching—it’s permanent rodent-proofing that keeps them out for good.
Finally, we eliminate any rodents already inside using humane trapping methods. We monitor progress with follow-up visits until your home is completely rodent-free. The whole process typically takes a few days to complete, and you’ll see results immediately.

Your service includes comprehensive inspection, permanent exclusion work, humane trapping, damage repair, and sanitization. We handle roof rats, Norway rats, mice, and squirrels using methods that are safe for your family and pets.
In Shady Hills, roof rats are particularly problematic because they’re excellent climbers who use tree branches and utility lines to access attics. Our local expertise means we know exactly where these pests enter homes in your neighborhood and how to stop them permanently.
You also get our lifetime Re-Treat Guarantee. If rodents return after our work, we return too—at no additional cost. We stand behind every job because we’re not just servicing your property; we’re protecting our neighbors and our reputation in the community we call home.
Roof rats are exceptional climbers that use tree branches, power lines, and utility cables to reach your roof. They can squeeze through openings as small as a quarter-inch—typically around roof vents, soffit gaps, where utilities enter your home, or damaged roof materials.
In Shady Hills’ lush, tree-filled neighborhoods, overhanging branches create highways directly to your roofline. Once they find even the smallest gap, they’ll gnaw it larger to create easy access. They prefer attics because they’re warm, quiet, and undisturbed—perfect for nesting and raising multiple litters per year.
That’s why exclusion work is so critical. We identify and identify every potential entry point, then trim back access routes so they can’t reach your roof in the first place.
The most obvious sign is scratching or scurrying sounds in your attic, especially at night when rodents are most active. You might also find small, dark droppings about half an inch long with pointed ends near food sources, along walls, or in storage areas.
Look for gnaw marks on wood, electrical wires, or food packaging. Roof rats leave greasy rub marks along walls and rafters from the oils in their fur. You might notice a musty odor from their urine, or see shredded materials where they’re building nests.
If you spot any of these signs, act quickly. Rodents reproduce rapidly—a small problem becomes a major infestation in just a few weeks. Early intervention saves you money and prevents extensive damage to your property.
Professional rodent control typically ranges from $300-500 for basic removal, while comprehensive exclusion and identifying services average around $1,300 for most homes. The exact cost depends on your home’s size, the extent of entry points, and the severity of the current infestation.
Larger or older homes often require more extensive identifying work, which increases the investment. However, proper exclusion is far more cost-effective than repeated treatments or dealing with fire damage from chewed electrical wires.
We provide transparent phone quotes so you know the cost upfront. Remember, this is a one-time investment that protects your home permanently—not an ongoing expense like monthly pest control services that only treat symptoms.
Absolutely. We use humane trapping methods and family-safe exclusion techniques that eliminate rodents without putting your loved ones at risk. Our approach focuses on identifying entry points and removing existing rodents through strategic trap placement—not dangerous poisons or chemicals.
All traps are placed in areas inaccessible to children and pets, typically in attics or crawl spaces where rodents are active. We use tamper-resistant bait stations when necessary, and all materials meet strict safety standards for residential use.
Our exclusion work actually makes your home safer by preventing rodents from chewing electrical wires—a major fire hazard. You get effective rodent control without compromising your family’s safety or your pets’ well-being.
Most rodent problems are resolved within 7-14 days once exclusion work is complete. The timeline depends on the size of the infestation and how many rodents are already inside when we identify the entry points.
Our process is designed for speed and effectiveness. We identify your home first to prevent new rodents from entering, then systematically trap any remaining inside. This approach is much faster than traditional methods that try to control an open population.
You’ll typically notice immediate results—no new droppings, no scratching sounds, no signs of fresh activity. We continue monitoring with follow-up visits until we’re certain your home is completely rodent-free. The exclusion work provides permanent protection, so you won’t face the same problem again.
Yes, we back every job with our comprehensive Re-Treat Guarantee. If rodents return after our exclusion and trapping work is complete, we return to address the problem at no additional cost to you. This isn’t a limited-time warranty—it’s our commitment to permanent results.
We can offer this guarantee because our exclusion work is thorough and permanent. We use professional-grade materials and proven techniques that keep rodents out for good. Unlike companies that rely on ongoing treatments, we solve the problem once and it stays solved.
As a family-owned business serving our own community, our reputation depends on delivering results that last. We stand behind our work because we’re confident in our methods and committed to keeping Shady Hills families protected from rodent problems.
