Rodent Control in South Florida

The Problem in South Florida

Roof rats are the dominant rodent in Broward and Palm Beach counties. They travel power lines and tree limbs, drop onto roofs, and enter through gaps at roof returns, vents, soffits and A/C line penetrations the size of a quarter. Once inside an attic they gnaw wiring, contaminate insulation and reproduce every few weeks.

Bait alone is not rodent control. Without sealing the building, a property stays permanently open to the next rat. Our approach is trapping plus exclusion, get them out, then make sure nothing can get back in.

Signs You Have a Problem

• Scratching or scurrying overhead at night, especially after dusk
• Dark droppings in the attic, garage, pantry or under sinks
• Gnaw marks on wiring, food packaging or soffit edges
• Greasy rub marks along beams, pipes and roof lines
• Shredded insulation, paper or fabric used for nesting
• A persistent musky odor, or pets fixating on a wall or ceiling

How Arrest-A-Pest Treats It

Every treatment uses EPA-approved products applied by licensed, insured and bonded technicians, safe for pets and family when the label and our re-entry guidance are followed.

1. 1

   Full structural inspection

   Attic, roofline, soffits, vents, garage and crawl areas are inspected to map entry points, runways and nesting sites.

2. 2

   Strategic trapping

   Snap and multi-catch traps are set along active runways for fast removal, with no poisoned rodents dying inside walls.

3. 3

   Exclusion and sealing

   Every accessible gap is sealed with rodent-proof materials, steel mesh, sheet metal and sealant, not foam alone.

4. 4

   Sanitation and cleanup guidance

   We advise on droppings cleanup, contaminated insulation and the trimming of tree limbs that act as rodent highways.

5. 5

   Monitored follow-up

   We return to clear traps and confirm zero activity before closing the job, then keep exterior stations monitored.
