How We Get Rid of Rats in Your Miami Home

Full Property Inspection

We inspect your entire property: attic, crawl space, roof line, eaves, soffit, plumbing penetrations, A/C lines, garage doors, and foundation. We identify the species (roof rat, Norway rat, or mouse), locate nesting sites, and map every entry point. Most Miami homes have 10 to 20 or more gaps that rats use to get inside.

Trapping & Removal

We set commercial-grade traps in attic spaces, wall voids, and active runways. No poison. Poison kills rats inside your walls where they decompose for weeks and create a stench you can't find. Trapping removes them cleanly and lets us monitor the population until activity stops.

Exclusion: Sealing Every Entry Point

This is what separates a permanent fix from a temporary one. We seal every entry point with steel mesh, metal flashing, concrete, or hardware cloth. Rats can squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter. Mice can fit through a dime-sized gap. We close every one. No gap is too small. Rodent exclusion is the only way to keep them out for good.

Cleanup & Sanitation

Rat droppings, urine, and nesting material in your attic or walls are a health hazard. Leptospirosis, salmonella, and hantavirus are all transmitted through rodent waste. We remove contaminated insulation, sanitize affected areas, and replace insulation if needed.

Long-Term Prevention

We advise on property conditions that attract rats: fruit trees touching the roof, palm tree canopy bridges, pet food left outside, open trash bins, standing water. Fix the conditions, seal the house, and the problem stays gone. Read more about rat prevention for Miami homes.

Why Miami's Rat Problem Is Worse

South Florida's climate and environment create perfect conditions for rats year-round.

Roof Rats Dominate

The roof rat is Miami-Dade's top rodent. They nest in attics and travel along power lines, tree branches, and rooflines. A single female has 4 to 6 litters per year.

Fruit Trees Everywhere

Mango, avocado, citrus, and banana trees feed rats and provide canopy highways to your roof. Coral Gables, Coconut Grove, and Pinecrest are hit hardest.

Year-Round Breeding

No winter means no slowdown. Rats breed 365 days a year here. If you don't act, the population keeps growing.

Aging Infrastructure

Homes built before the 1970s have more gaps around pipes, A/C lines, and rooflines. Even newer homes have vulnerabilities at roof-to-wall junctions.

Canals & Waterfront

Norway rats thrive near Miami's canal system. Hialeah, Miami Springs, and areas along the river see heavy activity.

Construction Displacement

Every new condo tower in Brickell, Wynwood, or Edgewater displaces rat populations into neighboring residential streets.

Why Miami Homeowners Call Us

We don't use poison. Most Miami pest control companies show up, throw bait stations around the house, and bill you monthly forever. The rats eat the poison, crawl into your walls, and die where you can't reach them. Your house stinks for weeks. New rats replace the dead ones because the entry points are still open. That's not a solution. That's a subscription.

We seal the house. Trapping removes the rats inside. Exclusion stops new ones from getting in. Once we seal every entry point, you don't need us to come back every month. The problem is solved permanently. That's why we offer a guarantee, not a contract.

We know Miami. Roof rats in Coral Gables are a different problem than Norway rats in Hialeah. A waterfront house near Biscayne Bay has different entry points than a 1960s ranch in Kendall. We've worked in every neighborhood in Miami-Dade and know exactly what to look for based on your home's age, construction, and location.

The average Miami pest control company charges $50 to $75 per month and never actually solves the problem. We charge once, fix it permanently, and guarantee the work. Do the math on 3 years of monthly pest control vs. one permanent fix.

What Miami Homeowners Say

We heard scratching in the attic for months. The previous company used poison and rats kept coming back. These guys sealed our entire roofline, trapped 14 rats in the first week, and we haven't heard a sound since. Six months later, still clean.

Maria R., Coral Gables

Found droppings in the pantry and called the same day. The technician found Norway rats coming in through the garage door seal. Fixed in 3 days. No more rats. Quick, professional, fair price.
