Rats and mice out, and the holes closed behind them

Trapping alone never ends a rodent problem. Kinder Safe removes the rodents and seals the openings they use, so the next family does not move in the same week.

What rodent control includes

Removal and exclusion in the same job, not two separate bills.

Inspection of the whole house

Attic, soffits, roof line, garage, plumbing gaps and anywhere a pencil fits.

Trapping and removal

Traps placed on the runways we find, checked until the activity stops.

Exclusion work

Openings sealed with material rodents cannot chew through, which is the part that lasts.

Return visits

We come back to confirm the activity stopped and to clear the traps.

How we get rid of rodents

1

Find the entry points

Droppings, grease marks and gnawing tell us where they run. A mouse needs a gap the width of a pencil.

2

Remove the population

Traps on the active runways, checked and reset until it goes quiet.

3

Close the building

Gaps sealed and vents screened. This is the step most cheap quotes leave out.

Why rodents keep coming back

Roof rats are the usual visitor here. They travel the roof line and the trees that touch it, and they get in through soffit gaps, torn vent screens and the space where a pipe enters the wall. A house that only gets traps will be clear for a few weeks, then reinfested from outside.

Rodents also chew wire, contaminate insulation and breed fast, so a small problem becomes an expensive one. Closing the building is what turns the job into a permanent result instead of a subscription.

Hearing them at night? Scratching above the ceiling after dark usually means roof rats. Daytime noise in the wall is more often squirrels, and that is a different job.

Something in the attic?

We inspect, remove and seal. Tell us what you are hearing and where.

Rodent questions we hear every week

How do rodents get into a Florida house?
Usually along the roof line: soffit gaps, torn vent screens, loose flashing, and the openings where pipes and wires enter. A mouse fits through a gap the width of a pencil.
Is trapping enough to solve a rat problem?
No. Trapping removes the rodents that are inside today. Without sealing the entry points, new rodents use the same openings within weeks.
How long does rodent control take?
Most homes go quiet in two to three weeks with traps checked along the way. The exclusion work is usually done in one visit.
Do you use poison inside the house?
We avoid rodenticide inside a home with children or pets. Trapping plus exclusion gives a cleaner result without a dead rodent in a wall.
Can rodents damage my house?
Yes. They gnaw wiring, flatten insulation and contaminate attics. That is why the entry points matter more than the trap count.
