Why Miami Has a Serious Rodent Problem
South Florida’s warm climate, dense palm trees, and older housing stock make Miami one of the worst rodent cities in the country. Roof rats (Rattus rattus) are the dominant species here — they climb trees, run along power lines, and enter attics through gaps as small as a quarter. Norway rats burrow into yards and invade ground-floor units. House mice squeeze through openings the size of a dime.
Rodents don’t just gross you out — they chew electrical wiring (a leading cause of house fires), contaminate food, destroy insulation, and carry diseases including leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus. A single pair of rats can produce 2,000 offspring in a year if left unchecked.
Signs You Have a Rodent Infestation
- Droppings in pantries, kitchen drawers, under sinks, or along walls
- Scratching or scurrying sounds in the attic, walls, or ceiling — especially at night
- Gnaw marks on food packaging, baseboards, wires, or wood
- Grease trails along walls where rodents travel the same path
- Nests made of shredded paper, insulation, or fabric in hidden spaces
- Unusual pet behavior — dogs or cats staring at walls or ceilings
- A musky or ammonia-like smell from urine buildup
If you’ve noticed any of these signs, the infestation is usually bigger than you think. Rodents are nocturnal and excellent at hiding — for every rat you see, there are typically 5 to 10 more you don’t.
Our Rodent Control Process
Step 1: Free Inspection
We walk your entire property — attic, crawl space, garage, kitchen, exterior foundation, and roofline. We identify active rodent species, locate entry points, find nesting areas, and document the full scope of the problem. You get a detailed plan before any work begins.
Step 2: Trapping & Removal
We deploy professional-grade snap traps and bait stations in strategic locations based on rodent activity patterns. We monitor, reset, and remove captured rodents during follow-up visits. No poison bait inside your home unless you specifically request it — we prioritize pet-safe and child-safe methods.
Step 3: Exclusion & Entry-Point Sealing
This is the step most pest control companies skip — and it’s the one that actually solves the problem. We seal every identified entry point using rodent-proof materials: steel mesh, hardware cloth, copper wool, foam, and concrete. Common entry points we seal include roof vents, soffit gaps, AC line penetrations, plumbing chases, garage door corners, and foundation cracks.
Step 4: Sanitation & Prevention
We recommend cleanup of contaminated insulation and droppings where needed, and install exterior bait stations around the property perimeter to intercept new rodents before they ever get inside. Ongoing monthly or quarterly monitoring keeps your property rodent-free long-term.
Rodents We Remove in Miami-Dade
Roof Rats
The #1 rodent pest in Miami. Sleek, black or brown, long-tailed, and excellent climbers. They nest in attics, palm trees, and dense vegetation. If you hear running in your ceiling at night, it’s almost always roof rats.
Norway Rats
Larger, heavier, ground-dwelling rats. They burrow in yards, under sheds, and along foundations. More common near canals, dumpsters, and commercial areas.
House Mice
Small, grayish-brown, and incredibly fast breeders. One female can have 60+ offspring per year. Found in pantries, cabinets, garages, and wall voids.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does rodent control cost in Miami?
Every rodent job is different — pricing depends on the size of the infestation, how many entry points need sealing, and whether you need ongoing service. We provide free inspections and transparent, no-surprise quotes tailored to your property. Call (305) 525-6897 to schedule.
How long does it take to get rid of rats?
Most active infestations are knocked down within 2 to 4 weeks with proper trapping and exclusion. Large or long-standing infestations can take 6 to 8 weeks. The key is sealing entry points — without exclusion, rats will keep coming back no matter how many you trap.
Do you use poison?
We prioritize non-toxic, pet-safe methods inside your home — primarily professional snap traps and exclusion work. Exterior tamper-resistant bait stations are used strategically around the perimeter. We’ll never use poison where your children or pets could access it.
Can you get rats out of my attic?
Yes. Attic rodent removal is one of our most common jobs in Miami. We inspect the full attic, trap active rodents, seal roof vents, soffit gaps, and other entry points, and recommend insulation replacement if contamination is severe.
What if I only saw one mouse?
If you saw one, there are possibly more. Mice and rats are nocturnal and reclusive — the ones you see are usually the overflow from a larger population in hiding. Don’t wait. Early treatment is faster, cheaper, and prevents the damage from escalating.
Do you offer ongoing rodent prevention?
Yes. Our monthly and quarterly prevention programs include exterior bait stations, entry-point monitoring, and full-property inspections. This is especially recommended for homes near canals, wooded lots, commercial zones, or dense palm coverage.
