Rat Removal

Although rodent issues are more common in older structures and areas with poor sanitation, they can be found invading any building. Seeing rodents such as rats in your home or business doesnFlorida Rat’t necessarily mean the areas are not clean, but that you may have entry points that need to be inspected and repaired to keep the rodents from coming in.

Rats are one of the most common household pests who invade your personal space by spreading germs and causing destruction while looking for food. They are incredibly adaptable, living both inside and outside of structures, with no regards to what they chew on or where they use the restroom.

The most common rats in Southwest Florida are:

  • Roof rats not only inhabit roofs but attics and wall spaces as well. Although they tend to be vegetarians, roof rats will eat any food readily available and can create a severe infestation problem due to female’s being able to produce 20 offspring in a year.
  • Norway rats live outdoors but will make their way inside your home in search of food to eat. They are an aggressive, burrowing species that dig their way underneath your foundation into your crawl space, where they usually force out any other species of rats which may be living there.
