Rodent Control in Pensacola, FL

Signs of rodents

Droppings, gnawed food packaging, scratching sounds in walls or the attic at night and grease marks along walls.

Roof rats

Rats that climb trees and power lines often enter attics at the roofline. Branches touching the roof give them a path.

Inspection

A technician looks for entry points around the roofline, vents, pipes and foundation.

Trapping

Traps placed where rodents travel remove the ones already inside.

Exclusion

Sealing gaps with metal mesh and hardware cloth stops new rodents getting in.

Cleanup

Droppings and nesting material should be cleaned up safely. Ask the company about sanitizing.

Prevention

Store food and pet food sealed, keep firewood off the ground and away from the house and trim branches back from the roof.

Attic insulation

Rodents tunnel through attic insulation and leave droppings in it. Badly contaminated insulation may need removal and replacement after control.

Cars and garages

Rodents nest in engine bays and chew wiring. Keep garages tidy and pet food sealed.

Fruit trees

Fallen fruit and nuts draw rats. Pick up windfall and harvest promptly.

Bird feeders

Spilled seed under feeders feeds rodents. Use trays or move feeders away from the house.

Noise at night

Scratching in walls or the attic at night is often the first sign. Note where you hear it for the technician.
