Get rats & mice out — and keep them out

Trapping alone never lasts. Our rodent control program removes the rodents you have and then seals your home so new ones can't take their place.

Inspect & identify

We find how rodents are getting in and where they nest — attic, walls, garage, and along the roofline — before we treat anything.

Trap & remove

Strategic trapping and removal clears the active infestation quickly and cleanly, targeting the runways rodents actually use.

Exclude & seal

The step DIY misses: we seal entry points so rodents physically can't get back in — the key to lasting rodent control.

Sanitize & monitor

We clean up droppings and contamination, then monitor to make sure your home stays rodent-free for good.

Central Florida pest control calendar

Our climate keeps pests active all year — but the pressure shifts by season. Here's what we watch for and treat month to month across the Orlando metro.

Mar – May

Spring

  • Ants
  • Termite swarmers
  • Wasps
  • Mosquitoes

Warm, wet weather triggers ant trails and termite swarms — the ideal time to start prevention.

Jun – Aug

Summer

  • Mosquitoes
  • Palmetto bugs
  • Fire ants
  • Fleas

Peak Florida pest season. Humidity and rain drive roaches and mosquitoes indoors and out.

Sep – Nov

Fall

  • Rodents
  • Spiders
  • Cockroaches
  • Earwigs

As nights cool, rodents and roaches look for a warm way inside. Seal-up and perimeter work matter most.

Dec – Feb

Winter

  • Rodents
  • German roaches
  • Silverfish
  • Spiders

Pests don't disappear here — they move indoors. Recurring service keeps them from settling in.

Exclusion-first

Why exclusion beats DIY traps

Store-bought traps catch a rodent or two, but they do nothing about the gap letting the rest inside. Rodents breed fast, so the only lasting fix is sealing entry points. We find every access point and close it — then back the work in writing. Got them in the walls? See how to get rid of rodents in walls.

Rodent control FAQ

Most infestations are cleared within one to three weeks depending on severity, since rodents have to work their way to the traps. We seal entry points during the same visit so new rodents can't replace them.

Yes — exclusion is the core of our program. Trapping alone just removes the rodents that are already inside. We find and seal the gaps, vents, and roofline access points so the problem doesn't return.

Pricing depends on the size of your home, how severe the infestation is, and how much sealing and exclusion work is needed. Call 407-713-7853 for a free inspection and a quote built around your home.

They can be — rodent droppings and urine carry health risks and should be cleaned up carefully. Our program includes sanitizing contaminated areas as part of getting your home back to safe.

Absolutely. Attics, wall voids, and the roofline are the most common rodent problem areas in Central Florida homes, and they're exactly where our inspect-remove-exclude process focuses.
