Detailed Rodent Control Service
Our comprehensive rodent control service is designed to eliminate existing infestations and prevent future problems. We utilize a multi-faceted approach that targets all stages of the rodent life cycle, from nesting to feeding, ensuring long-term control and peace of mind.
Inspection and Assessment
The first step in our rodent control process is a thorough inspection of your property. Our trained technicians will carefully examine your home or business to identify rodent entry points, nesting areas, and signs of activity. We'll also assess the extent of the infestation and the specific type of rodents present (e.g., rats, mice, squirrels).
Exclusion and Sealing
Preventing rodents from entering your property is crucial for long-term control. We'll seal any cracks, holes, or gaps in your foundation, walls, and roof that rodents could use as entry points. We'll also install door sweeps, screens, and other barriers to prevent rodents from gaining access.
Baiting and Trapping
We use a range of baiting and trapping methods to eliminate existing rodent populations. Our technicians will strategically place rodent baits and traps in areas where rodents are most active. We use tamper-resistant bait stations to protect children and pets from accidental exposure. We also use snap traps and glue boards to capture rodents quickly and effectively.
Sanitation and Cleanup
Rodents can contaminate your home with their droppings, urine, and nesting materials. We'll thoroughly clean and sanitize affected areas to remove any potential health hazards. We'll also recommend preventative measures to minimize future contamination.
Monitoring and Maintenance
After the initial treatment, we'll continue to monitor your property for any signs of rodent activity. We'll make adjustments to our treatment plan as needed to ensure long-term control. We also offer ongoing maintenance programs to prevent future infestations.
Types of Rodents We Control
We have experience controlling all types of rodents common in Winter Park and the surrounding areas, including:
- Roof rats (Rattus rattus)
- Norway rats (Rattus norvegicus)
- House mice (Mus musculus)
- Squirrels (various species)
Each type of rodent requires a slightly different approach to control. Our technicians are trained to identify the specific type of rodent you're dealing with and tailor our treatment plan accordingly.
Rodenticides vs. Traps
We carefully consider the pros and cons of rodenticides and traps before recommending a treatment plan. Rodenticides can be effective for quickly eliminating large rodent populations, but they can also pose risks to non-target animals and the environment. Traps are generally considered to be more humane and environmentally friendly, but they may not be as effective for controlling large infestations. We will discuss all of your options with you and help you choose the best approach for your specific situation.
Safe and Humane Practices
At Ant & Rodent Pest Control Alafaya, we are committed to using safe and humane rodent control practices. We take precautions to minimize the risk of harm to non-target animals, children, and pets. We also use humane traps whenever possible.
Common Rodent Problems in Winter Park
Winter Park's warm climate and lush vegetation provide an ideal environment for rodents to thrive. Here are some of the most common rodent problems we encounter in the area:
Attic Infestations
Attics are a popular nesting spot for rodents due to their warmth, darkness, and relative seclusion. Rats and mice can squeeze through small openings in your roof or walls to gain access to your attic. Once inside, they can cause significant damage to insulation, wiring, and stored items. A rodent infestation in your attic poses a fire hazard due to gnawed electrical wires; that’s why prompt removal is essential.
Wall Cavity Dwellers
Rodents may seek shelter in wall cavities or interior spaces in your home or business. Walls are often attractive because they're out of sight, warm, and provide a safe network of tunnels for travel. Rodents in your walls can be difficult to detect, but you may hear scratching or scurrying noises, especially at night. Rodent presence means they're leaving droppings and urine behind, and could be slowly weakening your walls over time.
Underground Burrows
Rodents like to burrow under slabs of homes and buildings. Burrowing in the landscape often undermines the foundations of structures. The best way to rid your property of burrowing rodents is to remove food sources, block their entry points, and destroy existing burrows.
Garbage Can Raids
Rodents are attracted to garbage cans because they provide a readily available source of food. They can easily chew through plastic or cardboard to access the contents of your garbage can. This behavior not only creates a mess but also attracts more rodents to your property. Invest in trash cans with tight-fitting lids and regularly clean up any spilled food or garbage to deter rodents from raiding your trash.
Garden Pests
Rodents can wreak havoc on gardens by eating fruits, vegetables, and seeds. They can quickly decimate your crops and damage your plants. Protect your garden by using rodent-resistant fencing, trapping, or baiting.
Food Contamination
Rodents can contaminate food with their droppings, urine, and saliva, posing a serious health risk. They can also spread diseases such as salmonellosis and hantavirus. Store food in airtight containers and regularly inspect food storage areas for signs of rodent activity. Discard any food that may have been contaminated by rodents.
Signs You Need Rodent Control
If you suspect you have a rodent problem, it's important to take action immediately. The sooner you address the issue, the easier and less costly it will be to resolve. Here are some of the telltale signs that indicate you need rodent control services:
Droppings
Rodent droppings are a clear sign of rodent activity. They are typically small, dark, and pellet-shaped. You may find them in areas where rodents frequent, such as kitchens, bathrooms, pantries, and attics. The presence of fresh droppings indicates an active infestation that needs to be addressed.
Gnaw Marks
Rodents are constantly gnawing to keep their teeth from growing too long. You may find gnaw marks on furniture, baseboards, electrical wires, and food packaging. Gnawed electrical wires pose a fire hazard and should be addressed immediately.
Nesting Materials
Rodents use a variety of materials to build their nests, including shredded paper, fabric, insulation, and dried plant matter. You may find nests in secluded areas, such as attics, wall cavities, and under appliances. The presence of a rodent nest confirms an active infestation.

Strange Noises
Rodents are particularly active at night, and you may hear scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds coming from your walls, ceilings, or attic. These sounds are often a sign of rodents moving around and foraging for food. Don't ignore suspicious noises; they could be a sign of a growing rodent population.
Footprints and Tail Drags
In dusty areas, you may see rodent footprints or tail drag marks on surfaces. These markings can help you identify the type of rodent and track their movements. Dust floors thoroughly and check how long things have been there; then sweep again to identify and remove rodent tracks.
Grease Marks
Rodents often leave grease marks along walls and baseboards as they rub against surfaces. These marks are caused by the oil in their fur and can be a sign of a well-established rodent population. These marks might also indicate specific trails that many rodents frequent to gather food; identifying those spaces can help when rodent-proofing your home or office.
Unusual Pet Behavior
Pets, especially dogs and cats, may exhibit unusual behavior if they sense rodents in your home. They may bark, scratch at walls, or become unusually alert. Pay attention to your pet's behavior, as it could be an early warning sign of a rodent infestation.
Foul Odors
A strong, musky odor can indicate the presence of rodents, especially in areas where they are nesting or defecating. This odor is caused by their urine and droppings and can be very unpleasant. If you notice an unusual odor, investigate the source and contact Ant & Rodent Pest Control Alafaya for a professional inspection.
Daytime Activity
While rodents are generally nocturnal, you may occasionally see them during the day, especially if the population is large or if they are disturbed. Daytime activity is a sign of a serious rodent problem that requires immediate attention.
Rodent Prevention Tips
In addition to professional rodent control services, there are several steps you can take to prevent rodents from entering your home or business:
- Seal any cracks or holes in your foundation, walls, and roof.
- Install door sweeps under doors and screens on windows.
- Keep your property clean and free of debris.
- Store food in airtight containers.
- Clean up spills and crumbs immediately.
- Empty garbage cans regularly and keep them tightly covered.
