Rat Removal

A rat’s body spans from three to eight inches and they can jump as far as eight feet. Their lifespan is two to three years. Female rat litters can range from five to eight babies or pups as they are called and they can give birth up to six times a year. Roof rats generally prefer vegetables, fruits and grain.

Palm rats, also known as roof rats, black rats, ship rats or house rats, are the leading rodent pests in Florida and in other tropical climates. They are climbers and prefer to nest off the ground in trees like palms, which is how they got their common name. Fruit is one of their main food sources.

Inside, these rodents can tear through insulation or gnaw on electrical wires, potentially short-circuiting any electronic devices. If they get into your kitchen, they’ll eat any food they can get their paws on including your pet’s food. Outdoors, they can damage your garden by eating plants, fruits, and vegetables. They can also find their way into garbage cans and munch on any food scraps tossed away. Palm rats will chew on the sealant along roof tiles, which is another reason why they get into your home.

Rat Trapping

Rodents in your home or place of business can do more harm than you realize. A rodent in your home can spread diseases to your house pets and ruin your insulation, not to mention the big hole they just ripped open to get into your property! And in your place of business, you can be legally liable – at a high cost – for damaged stock, contaminated foods, health code violations, or other consequences.

Rats are natures survivors, which for the rat means wonderful abilities to adapt to all sorts of living environments, but for you and your home or business it can mean a hard pest to get rid of. No one wants rats in their home or around their family. We know the telltale signs of rodent presence and behavior. With years of training and experience in rodent trapping, removal and access control we know how to root them out and once they’re gone, we can do a full evaluation and advise you on how to make sure they never come back. We do not, in any way or form, use poison as an animal control method. Let us remove the rats from your attic, home, or business.
