Complete Rodent Removal for Miami Homes
Rodent removal is more than setting a few traps and hoping for the best. In Miami-Dade County, where roof rats breed year-round and Norway rats burrow under foundations, effective removal requires a systematic approach.
We start with a thorough property inspection. Our technicians check every accessible area — attic, crawl space, garage, utility closets, soffit lines, roof edges, and plumbing penetrations. We identify active runways, nesting sites, and every opening larger than a quarter inch. Rats only need a gap that size to squeeze through.
Once we map the activity, we set commercial-grade snap traps in high-traffic areas. We use traps, not poison. Poison creates secondary problems: dead rodents in walls, contaminated insulation, and an odor that can last weeks. Trapping lets us remove every animal from your property.
After trapping confirms zero activity, we move to full exclusion work. Every entry point gets sealed with galvanized steel mesh, metal flashing, or concrete patch — materials rodents cannot chew through. Foam and caulk alone won't hold.
Why Rodents Keep Coming Back
If you've had rodent problems before, there's a reason they returned. Most pest control services treat the symptom (the rodent) without addressing the cause (the entry points). Monthly bait stations are a subscription model disguised as pest control. They maintain the problem rather than solving it.
Our approach eliminates the problem permanently. We seal your structure, remove the existing population, and back our work with a guarantee. If a rodent gets through a sealed entry point, we return at no cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Listen for scratching sounds at night, look for droppings along walls or in cabinets, and check for gnaw marks on food packaging or wiring. Our free inspection confirms the species and severity.
Yes. If you're dealing with an odor from a dead rodent in a wall or attic, we locate and remove it as part of our service. See our dead rat removal page for details.
Most homes are clear within 7–14 days of trapping. Exclusion work is typically completed in 1–2 days. We monitor until traps show zero activity.
