You’ll sleep through the night without scratching sounds in your walls. No more finding droppings on your counters or gnaw marks on your belongings. No more wondering if your family’s health is at risk.
That’s what happens when rodents are actually eliminated—not just temporarily relocated. You get your peace of mind back, your property stays protected, and you don’t waste money on treatments that only work for a few weeks.
When rodent control is done right, you forget you ever had a problem. Your attic stays clean, your insulation remains intact, and those entry points stay identifyed for years to come.
We’ve been protecting South Clinton Heights homes from rodent infestations with the kind of personal service you can’t get from the big chains. When you call, you talk directly to the owner—not a call center.
Every quote comes straight over the phone, most jobs get scheduled within 24 hours, and you’ll get responses even on weekends. That’s how family businesses work when they actually care about their reputation in the community.
Over 100 five-star Google reviews don’t happen by accident. They happen when you show up on time, do the work right, and stand behind what you promise.
First, we identify every entry point—not just the obvious ones. Rodents can squeeze through gaps smaller than a dime, so we check foundation cracks, roof line gaps, pipe penetrations, and areas where different building materials meet.
Next comes the removal phase. We use humane rodent trapping methods that are effective without putting your family or pets at risk. This isn’t about placing a few traps and hoping for the best—it’s systematic elimination based on rodent behavior patterns.
Then we identify everything permanently. Steel wool and caulk won’t cut it long-term. We use materials that rodents can’t chew through, properly installed so they stay in place through Florida’s weather changes. The final step is attic cleanup and sanitization if needed, removing contaminated insulation and droppings that attract more rodents.

Your rodent control service includes thorough inspection, identification of all entry points, humane removal, permanent exclusion work, and cleanup. We don’t just treat the symptoms—we eliminate the cause.
South Clinton Heights homes face unique challenges with roof rats, which are common in Florida’s climate. These rodents often enter through roof lines and settle in attics where they can cause significant damage to insulation and wiring. Our approach addresses these specific local conditions.
You’ll also receive ongoing monitoring recommendations and prevention tips to keep your home protected. Military families and new homeowners get special pricing because we believe everyone deserves a rodent-free home without breaking the budget.
Roof rats typically enter through gaps where your roof line meets the walls, around pipe penetrations, or through damaged soffit areas. Florida’s older homes often have small gaps that develop over time as materials expand and contract with temperature changes.
Tree branches touching your roof create highways for rats to access these entry points. Spanish moss and palm fronds can also mask gaps that rats use regularly. The key is identifying every possible entry point, not just the obvious ones.
A thorough inspection reveals exactly where they’re getting in. Most homeowners are surprised to learn there are usually multiple entry points, which is why identifying just one or two spots rarely solves the problem permanently.
Fresh droppings are the most obvious sign—they’re dark, pellet-shaped, and about the size of a grain of rice. You’ll typically find them along walls, in cabinets, or near food sources. Old droppings turn gray and crumble when touched.
Gnaw marks on wood, plastic, or cardboard indicate active feeding. Rats need to chew constantly to keep their teeth from overgrowing. You might also notice shredded materials like paper or fabric that they use for nesting.
Scratching or scurrying sounds in walls or ceilings, especially at night, usually mean you have an established population. If you’re hearing these sounds regularly, the problem has likely been developing for weeks or months.
Rodent proofing costs depend on your home’s size, the number of entry points, and the extent of exclusion work needed. Most South Clinton Heights homes require $300-800 for comprehensive exclusion, but we provide exact quotes over the phone after discussing your specific situation.
The investment pays for itself quickly when you consider the cost of repeated treatments, property damage, and health risks. Rats can cause thousands in damage to insulation, wiring, and stored items if left unchecked.
We offer military discounts and special pricing for new homeowners because we believe preventive treatment should be accessible. The goal is permanent protection, not ongoing monthly fees that never actually solve the problem.
Complete elimination typically takes 1-3 weeks depending on the population size and how long they’ve been established. The trapping phase usually shows results within the first few days, but we continue monitoring until all activity stops.
The exclusion work happens immediately to prevent new rodents from entering while we’re eliminating the existing population. This two-pronged approach is much faster than trying to trap without identifying entry points first.
You’ll notice the scratching sounds stop first, then you’ll stop finding fresh droppings. Once we’ve had several days with no new activity and all traps remain untriggered, the elimination is complete.
DIY approaches work for minor problems if you can identify all entry points and have the right materials for permanent exclusion. The challenge is that most homeowners miss entry points or use materials that rodents can chew through within months.
Store-bought traps and poison baits can reduce populations temporarily, but without proper exclusion work, new rodents simply move in to replace the ones you’ve eliminated. This creates an endless cycle of treatment without resolution.
Professional service makes sense when you want permanent results, when the infestation is established, or when entry points are in difficult-to-reach areas like roof lines. The time and materials cost of doing it right often equals professional service, but with guaranteed results.
Our humane rodent trapping methods are designed to be safe around families and pets. We use enclosed bait stations and traps placed in areas where children and pets can’t access them, focusing on the rodents’ natural travel patterns.
We avoid using loose poison baits that could accidentally harm non-target animals. Instead, we use targeted approaches that eliminate rodents without creating secondary poisoning risks for pets or wildlife that might consume affected rodents.
All exclusion materials are non-toxic and installed in ways that don’t create hazards. The biggest safety benefit is eliminating the health risks that rodents bring—including disease transmission through droppings and contaminated surfaces.
