Rodent control for homes and businesses, designed to eliminate active rats and mice problems and help prevent future infestations.

Professional Rat and Mouse Control

Complete Rodent Control Requires More Than Traps

Effective rodent control is a process—not a single product or one-time visit. Our programs combine inspection, trapping, exterior monitoring, exclusion recommendations, sanitation guidance, and follow-up service based on the rodent, the property, and the level of activity.

Property-Based Rodent Solutions

Control the Activity—and the Conditions Behind It

Rats and mice can enter through small structural openings, travel along rooflines, nest in attics, and return when food, water, shelter, or access points remain available.

Trapping and baiting can help reduce an active population, but a complete long-term solution may also depend on structural exclusion, vegetation management, sanitation improvements, moisture correction, and continued monitoring.

How Professional Rodent Control Works

Each service component has a different purpose. The right program depends on where rodents are active, how they are entering, and which conditions are supporting the problem.

Targeted Trapping

Trapping may be used when rats or mice are active inside an attic, home, garage, business, or other enclosed area. Devices are placed according to rodent movement, nesting behavior, access, and safety considerations.

Monitoring and follow-up are usually necessary because device placement may need to be adjusted as activity changes.

Exterior Bait Station Monitoring

Tamper-resistant exterior bait stations may be installed to reduce rodent pressure and monitor activity around the property before rodents reach the structure.

Exterior baiting does not replace structural exclusion when rodents have openings that allow them to enter the building.

Rodent Exclusion

Exclusion means sealing or correcting accessible openings that rats and mice may use to enter. Common areas include roof and soffit gaps, vents, pipe penetrations, garage doors, door sweeps, utility lines, and damaged exterior materials.

Roofing, electrical, plumbing, tree work, or major structural repairs may require another qualified contractor.

Attic and Structural Inspection

When safe access is available, technicians inspect attics and other suspected activity areas for droppings, nesting material, gnawing, rodent trails, damaged vents, soffit gaps, and other evidence.

Inspection findings help determine the treatment, monitoring, exclusion, and prevention steps recommended for the property.

Sanitation and Prevention Guidance

Rodents are attracted to available food, water, shelter, clutter, and nesting materials. We identify contributing conditions and explain practical corrections that can improve treatment results.

Sanitation supports professional treatment but does not replace trapping, monitoring, or necessary structural repairs.

Follow-Up and Activity Monitoring

Rodent activity can change after service begins. Follow-up visits allow us to inspect devices, service exterior stations, evaluate remaining activity, adjust placement, and identify new evidence or entry points.

The number of visits required depends on the infestation, accessibility, structural conditions, and completion of recommended corrections.
Inspection-Based Treatment

What We Look for During a Rodent Inspection

An effective treatment plan begins by understanding where rodents are traveling, nesting, feeding, and entering the property.

  • Droppings and nesting materials
  • Gnaw marks and rodent rub marks
  • Travel routes and active entry points
  • Damaged vents, soffits, or screens
  • Roofline and structural gaps
  • Openings around pipes and utilities
  • Food, water, and sanitation conditions
  • Trees or vegetation providing access

Conditions That Can Keep Rodent Activity Coming Back

Reducing the rodent population is important, but lasting control may also require correcting how rodents reach the property and what is attracting them.

Tree and Roofline Access

Roof rats may reach structures from overhanging branches, palms, fences, trellises, gutters, utility lines, and connected rooflines. Continued access can create new rodent pressure even after structural gaps have been sealed.

  • Trim branches and vegetation away from the roof
  • Inspect gutters, soffits, vents, and roof transitions
  • Correct damaged screens and accessible roofline gaps
  • Use a qualified tree or roofing professional when required

Food, Water, and Harborage

Accessible food, pet feed, fallen fruit, garbage, moisture, clutter, and nesting materials can support continued rodent activity around homes and businesses.

  • Secure trash and food-storage containers
  • Remove pet food and accessible animal feed overnight
  • Clean spills, crumbs, grease, and food debris
  • Repair leaks and reduce moisture conditions
  • Organize garages, storage rooms, and utility areas

Clear Service Limitations and Warranty Conditions

We explain the scope of work before service so you understand what is included, what corrections are required, and which conditions may affect the results.

Dead-Animal and Odor Limitations

Rodents may die inside inaccessible walls, ceilings, insulation, duct areas, crawlspaces, roofing systems, or other concealed locations.

Removal may be possible as a separate service when the exact location can be safely identified and accessed. Pest control service cannot guarantee that every deceased animal can be located or removed.

Opening walls, ceilings, cabinets, roofing, or ductwork may require a qualified contractor, and odor can temporarily remain after rodent activity is controlled.

Rodent Warranty Conditions

Any warranty applies to the specific services and areas described in the written agreement. Continued coverage may depend on:

  • Completion of approved exclusion work
  • Repair of accessible entry points listed in the agreement
  • Correction of sanitation and moisture concerns
  • Maintenance of doors, vents, screens, and rooflines
  • Vegetation management where rodents access the structure
  • Continued monitoring or recurring service when required
  • No new structural damage or unapproved alterations

New openings, inaccessible defects, neighboring-property pressure, wildlife activity, and conditions outside our control may not be included unless specifically stated in the agreement.

Do I Need Rodent Control If I Saw One Rat or Mouse?​

    Do Rats and Mice Reproduce Fast Enough to Be Concerned?

    Yes. A single female mouse can produce up to 60 offspring per year, so rodent problems can grow fast. Store-bought traps may catch a few, but professional rodent control helps eliminate the infestation, identify entry points, and prevent future activity.

    Frequently Asked Questions about Rodent Control and Extermination

    Rats and mice reproduce quickly, which is why a small rodent problem can become a serious infestation if left untreated. A single pair can lead to multiple litters, and young rodents can begin reproducing in a short period of time. If you notice droppings, scratching noises, gnaw marks, or one visible rodent, it is best to schedule a professional inspection as soon as possible.

    Common signs include droppings, scratching noises in walls or ceilings, chewed wires or food packaging, grease marks along walls, nesting materials, strong odors, and small holes around the exterior of the home. You may also notice activity near the kitchen, garage, attic, laundry room, or outdoor trash areas. If you see any of these signs, professional rodent control is recommended.

    A professional rodent treatment usually includes a detailed inspection, identification of rodent activity, placement of traps or bait stations, monitoring, follow-up visits, and recommendations for exclusion work. At Pestmaster Services of Orlando, our rodent control programs are designed to reduce activity, locate entry points, and help protect your home from future rodent problems.

    Not always. Trapping can reduce current rodent activity, but it does not solve the problem if rodents are still entering the home. For long-term results, rodent control should include inspection, trapping or baiting, monitoring, sanitation recommendations, and exclusion work to seal entry points. Without exclusion, new rodents may continue to enter the property.

    Most rodent problems require more than one visit. The number of visits depends on the level of activity, the size of the property, nesting areas, and the number of entry points. In many cases, at least three service visits are recommended to reduce activity, monitor results, adjust traps or bait stations, and confirm progress.

    Yes, if entry points are found. Rodent exclusion is one of the most important parts of long-term rat and mice control. This process involves sealing gaps, holes, vents, roofline openings, garage gaps, and other access points that rodents use to enter the home. Exclusion helps prevent new rodents from getting inside after the treatment begins.

    Yes. We are a fully bilingual company and provide service, communication, and reporting in both English and Spanish.

    The cost depends on the size of the home, the level of rodent activity, the number of service visits needed, and whether exclusion work is required. A professional inspection helps determine the best treatment plan for your property. Call Pestmaster Services of Orlando at (407) 818-5872 to schedule a free estimate for local rat and mice control.

    Yes. Businesses should address rat and mice activity immediately because rodents can damage property, contaminate food and surfaces, create sanitation issues, affect customer confidence, and put your facility at risk during inspections. Restaurants, warehouses, offices, retail stores, schools, healthcare facilities, apartment communities, HOAs, and commercial properties are especially vulnerable when rodents have access to dumpsters, storage rooms, kitchens, loading areas, utility rooms, or exterior openings.

    At Pestmaster Services of Orlando, we provide commercial rat and mice control programs designed to identify activity, place professional bait stations or traps, monitor results, document findings, and recommend exclusion work to help prevent future infestations. Our FDACS-licensed technicians help protect your business, employees, customers, and reputation with reliable commercial rodent control services across Orlando, Kissimmee, and Central Florida.

    Rats and mice can enter through very small openings around doors, garage gaps, rooflines, vents, plumbing lines, AC lines, crawl spaces, and damaged screens. In Central Florida homes, overgrown trees, nearby lakes, dumpsters, pet food, and open trash areas can also attract rodents. Our technicians inspect the property to locate access points and recommend exclusion work to help keep rodents out.

    Yes. Rats and mice can contaminate food, leave droppings and urine behind, damage insulation, and chew on wires, wood, and stored items. They may also carry bacteria, parasites, and allergens that can affect indoor air quality and sanitation. Professional rodent control helps protect your home, family, pets, and property from these risks.
