Rodent Control

Southeast Florida is home to a number of different rodent species, including the two vermin that are most troublesome: roof rats (outstanding climbers) and mice (commonly nest within structures). These two troublemakers require effective rodent control methods to get rid of them.

FOUR LEGS + ONE TAIL = ONE BIG PROBLEM

One of the worst pest problems a household can experience has to be an infestation of mice or other rodents. You’ve likely had at least one encounter with these pests, and maybe even set traps or put out poison. But the chances are good that you’re not done yet. Beyond the “ick” factor, there is real reason to take every precaution with these pests and give us a call instead.

THE DANGER TO YOUR HEALTH

Rodents aren’t just annoying; they’re actually a danger to your health. There are a number of health issues traced back to the droppings of rodents. And while the more serious diseases are a bit rare in Florida and throughout the U.S., you could still get sick. Anyone suffering from asthma or a compromised immune system is at increased risk thanks to the presence of rodents.

PROPERTY DAMAGE ABOUNDS

These pests can cause serious financial damage. Think for minute about the possible expense of roof rats that nest in the attic space of your home. What might they chew through up there? Some statistics indicate that as many as 20 percent of all house fires start because of rodents chewing through the wires! This is a serious risk to your family and property.

THE SLUG-A-BUG DIFFERENCE
