What a Real Miami Rat Exterminator Does Differently
Most pest control companies in Miami rely on poison bait stations. They place them around your home, charge you monthly, and hope the rats eat them. The rats do eat them. Then they crawl into your walls and die. Your house smells terrible for weeks. And new rats move in because the entry points are still wide open.
A real rat exterminator does three things: traps and removes every rat inside your home, identifies and seals every entry point, and makes sure no new rats can get in. That's what we do. We inspect your property top to bottom, set commercial-grade traps in active areas, and perform full rodent exclusion to close every gap rats use to enter.
Miami's warm climate means rats breed year-round here. Roof rats dominate the county, nesting in attics, palm trees, and fruit tree canopies. They enter through soffit gaps, ridge vents, plumbing penetrations, and A/C line chases. We know every entry point because we've sealed thousands of Miami homes.
Every job includes a post-treatment monitoring period. We don't close out a job until traps show zero activity for at least two weeks. If rats get back through a sealed entry point, we return at no charge.
Whether you have roof rats in your attic, Norway rats in your crawl space, or mice in the garage, we handle it all. One visit. One price. Permanent results.
