Orlando Rodent Control
In Orlando, effective rodent control is essential for addressing rat problems. Rats and mice are two of the most common rodent pests in the Orlando, FL area. There are not only a nuisance, but a hazard.
According to the U.S. Fire Administration, there are about 353,500 residential fires in the United States per year. And it has been estimated that rodents cause up to 20 percent of undetermined fires in the United States each year.
Mice eagerly nest in electrical boxes and other areas where electrical wires converge, or beneath floorboards. They also favor nesting inside dryer vents and underneath cabinets. When these spaces become overcrowded, they create an environment conducive to fires, as cables and wires can overheat or short out.
Rodents can also spread diseases that can affect the health of your entirely family, including your pests.

How do mice and rats enter my home in the first place?
Rats can fit through holes as small as a quarter of an inch, while mice can fit through holes of up to one-quarter of an inch. They will hide in your attic, crawl space, and even behind your fridge to escape the heat in the summer.
Rats and mice can chew through drywall and insulation, as well as wood. They can also chew through electrical wiring and automotive wiring, increasing the risk of fire.
Rats and Mice in Your Attic
Norway rats and Roof rats are the most commonly rodents found in Orlando attics. They excel at climbing various surfaces and digging, and they possess a remarkable ability to find their way indoors. They mostly rely on their keen sense of smell and hearing.
If you’re dealing with a rodent infestation or seeking prevention, contact us at 407-447-7378. Remember, the longer an infestation persists without treatment, the larger the colony grows, and the greater the potential damage they can cause!
We'll Rodent Proof Your Home
We will use quality materials to seal all potential entry points that rats, mice, and squirrels cannot chew through or damage. By preventing rats and mice from accessing these points, we effectively mitigate potential damage. Additionally, we ensure that the repairs have a visually appealing finish, resembling the work of a builder in a new home construction.
When Should I Pursue Orlando Rodent Control Services?
Really anytime! We can prevent rodent infestations.
However, if you suspect the presence of rats or mice, you need to contact us as soon as possible to get rid of them. Waiting to address a rat or mouse infestation only allows more time for these rodents to reproduce and increase in population. This creates a potential to cause more damage and an increased risk of disease. Not only do rats and mice contaminate food and spread disease, but they also leave behind urine and faeces that act as allergens which can cause asthma or allergen-related rhinitis.
Rodents Pose a Public Health Threat
The biggest and most dangerous risk from rodents is Hantavirus. Hantavirus can cause symptoms similar to the flu, such as coughing and difficulty breathing. According to the CDC, Hantavirus has a mortality rate of 38%. Those with weakened immune systems, young, and older people are at the greatest risk of mortality.
Rodents can aggravate allergies and asthma, and contaminate food. Salmonella Enteritidis can survive in rat feces for at least 148 days. Rats also carry mites, so consider insecticide treatments during rodent cleanouts.
How We Excel in Orlando Rodent Control
Catching rodents is kind of like fishing. Especially when it comes to rats in your attics.
It’s important to understand their behavior and how to strategically place traps. To successfully trap all rodents, you need to pay close attention to the details. It’s very important to monitor the sex of the rodents you catch; if you don’t capture reproducing females, the problem will continue.
Without a good understanding of the biology and habits of rats, it can be very difficult to get rid of the entire colony. Especially the older and more cautious rats.
