Roof rats are the number-one rodent problem in South Florida attics — and the number-one reason people's rat problems never go away is that they only use bait. Here's the fix that actually works.
Why bait alone fails
Bait and poison can knock down numbers temporarily, but if the gaps rats use to get in are still open and the attractants are still there, new rats simply move in behind the old ones. You end up on a permanent bait-refill treadmill.
Worse, poisoned rats can die inside walls, leaving an awful odor. Bait is a tool, not a solution.
The three-part fix that works
Effective rat control combines three things: trapping and removing the active population, sealing every entry point (rats fit through a hole the size of a quarter), and cleaning up droppings and contamination. Miss any one and the problem returns.
The exclusion step — meticulously sealing roof lines, soffits, vents and utility gaps — is the difference between a real fix and a monthly bait bill.
Do it right the first time
Because rats breed year-round in our climate, the longer you wait the more damage (chewed wiring is a fire risk) and contamination you get. Our rat and rodent control does the full job — trapping, exclusion and cleanup.
