Rodent Removal

Rodent Control in South Florida is crucial if only because of how warm our climate is. Don’t wait for that loud screeching “Eek!” to come from your significant other. Rats are the most destructive pests in South Florida. They are responsible for over 40% of house fires, and parasites, fleas and ticks thrive around them. Rodents can transmit up to ten diseases and carried the black plague decades ago, making Rodent Control in South Florida a top priority.

Florida rats usually grow up to 14 inches long, with their tail comprising half of their entire length. These rodents are different in color, ranging from dark black, to a reddish tan. Florida rats reach their sexual maturity around two to three months old. These rats reproduce, every two months, averaging about 9 pups per litter. These rats can live on just one-half ounce of garbage and water per day. Be careful if you ever see a Florida rat! Their teeth grow up to 5 inches a year, causing them the constantly gnaw on clothes, furniture, electrical wires and more, to shorten their incisors.

Where are Florida rats found?

Florida rats can be found in the ground or high in perches. Common locations include: nests, attics, under rocks, fruit trees, and under cabinets.

How Do I Prevent a Rat Infestation?
