From roof rats in South Tampa's oak trees to field mice in Brandon's suburban developments, rodents become more active as Tampa's winter temperatures drop. Our approach combines exclusion work with strategic trapping to solve current problems while preventing future ones.
We start by identifying how rodents are entering - often through damaged soffits on ranch homes or gaps around AC lines in newer construction. After sealing these entry points with rodent-proof materials, we implement a customized trapping program. Unlike big box store solutions, our traps are placed in high-activity zones identified during inspection.
For persistent problems common in older neighborhoods like Ybor City, we may recommend attic decontamination services to remove nesting materials and sanitize affected areas. All methods comply with Florida wildlife regulations while protecting your family from diseases rodents can carry.
