Rodent Control in Pembroke Pines, FL

Rodent Control in Pembroke Pines

Roof rats are the main rodent in Pembroke Pines, and the city's layout helps them. The lakes, canals and the landscaped buffers along them give rats cover and routes, and in rows of townhomes and villas a connected or closely-spaced roofline lets them move along the structure. They enter at roof returns, under tiles, through gable and soffit vents and along A/C and plumbing penetrations no bigger than a quarter.

Putting out bait does not fix it — if the home is still open, another rat replaces the one that is gone, and in attached housing it can come right along the roofline from next door. Our approach is trapping to remove the rats quickly and full exclusion to seal the building so the next one cannot get in. In townhome rows that means paying close attention to shared and adjoining roof areas.

How Arrest-A-Pest Treats It

1. 1

   Full roofline and attic inspection

   We inspect the attic, roof returns, tile edges, gable and soffit vents and the line penetrations, including the shared and adjoining roof areas in townhome rows.

2. 2

   Trapping to remove the population

   We set traps along active runways to remove rats quickly, rather than relying on bait that leaves them to die inside walls.

3. 3

   Full exclusion and sealing

   We seal every gap with rodent-proof materials so the structure is closed, and flag any shared entry points that need the neighbor or HOA involved.

4. 4

   Landscape and runway advice

   We point out the lakeside landscaping, fences and tree limbs that act as highways and recommend trimming them back.

5. 5

   Monitoring and follow-up

   We return to clear traps, confirm the activity has stopped and keep exterior monitoring in place.
