Rodent Control in St. Augustine Shores, FL — Trapped, Excluded, Gone

Rat droppings are roughly the size of a grain of rice or larger; mouse droppings are smaller and more pointed. Noise timing and gnaw-mark size also differ.

Trapping handles what's inside now; sealing is what keeps new rodents from replacing them.

Dry sweeping droppings can release airborne particles; it's safer to let the crew handle cleanup with the right protective equipment.

Most single-family homes take one visit for trapping and sealing, with a follow-up 1-2 weeks later to confirm no new activity.

We prioritize mechanical trapping and exclusion over rodenticide when possible, especially around homes with pets or children.

Accessible food sources, standing water, cluttered storage, and unsealed foundation gaps are the most common draws. It's also worth checking your attic access panel and garage door seal periodically, since those are common secondary entry points we find during follow-ups.
