Roof Rats:

These agile climbers are the #1 rodent issue for Tallahassee homeowners. With sleek bodies and long tails, they frequently use overhanging tree limbs to access attics and roof lines where they nest in insulation.

Norway Rats:

Much larger and more aggressive, Norway rats are heavy burrowers that prefer nesting in basements, crawlspaces, & near foundations. They often enter ground-level areas through gaps in siding or utility pipes.

Common Signs You Have a Rodent Infestation

Identifying a rodent problem early is critical to protecting your North Florida home from structural damage and health risks.

Common Florida rodent signs:

Droppings & Pheromone Trails: The most common sign is finding small, dark droppings along baseboards or in pantries. These "trails" often lead to nesting sites and can carry bacteria

Gnaw Marks & Damage: Rodents must chew constantly to file down their teeth. Look for fresh gnaw marks on wooden structures, pipes, and electrical wiring, which creates a fire hazard

Strange Noises at Night: Because Florida's Roof Rats are nocturnal, you may hear scratching, scurrying, or squeaking coming from your attic or wall voids after dark & the house becomes quiet.

Smudge Marks & Rubs: Rats have oily fur that leaves dark, greasy "rub marks" along walls & entry points. This is a clear indicator of a high-traffic travel route used by the colony to enter & exit homes

Our Proven Rodent Exclusion Process

To protect your Tallahassee home for the long term, we follow a rigorous four-step exclusion strategy designed to eliminate current infestations and prevent future entry.

Step 1: Comprehensive Inspection

A licensed professional performs a deep-dive assessment of your property to identify the specific rodent species, active nesting sites, and critical entry points around your foundation and roofline.

Step 2: Strategic Elimination

Using a combination of targeted trapping and professional-grade deterrents, we remove existing rodents from the premises. We prioritize safe, effective methods that focus on high-traffic areas identified during the inspection.

Step 3: Precision Exclusion & Sealing

We "seal up" your home by reinforcing vulnerable areas with durable materials. This includes using steel wool, hardware cloth, and professional-grade sealants to close gaps around pipes, vents, and foundation cracks as small as a dime.
