Rat Control in Hialeah

The Flamingo Pavilion building at the Hialeah Park race track — Hialeah Park, which opened in 1925, the same year the city was incorporated.

Hialeah was incorporated in 1925, the same year the Hialeah Park race track opened. It is a tightly built city, with more than 10,000 people per square mile in the 2020 census. Most neighborhoods are rows of concrete block houses close together, many with added rooms, carports and enclosed porches, broken up by commercial strips along the main roads.

Dense housing lets rats move easily from yard to yard. Calls from Hialeah split between roof rats in attics and rats around the commercial strips and trash areas.

Additions and Add-On Rooms

Plenty of Hialeah houses have grown over the years: a room added out back, a carport closed in, a small rental unit built off the side. Every place a newer roof meets the old one is a spot to check. So are AC lines for window and split units, which often run through holes that never got sealed tight. The provider should walk the whole roofline. Rodent exclusion explains the materials.

Commercial Strips and Trash

The busy strips along the main roads have restaurants, bakeries and markets with dumpsters out back. Business owners can look at commercial rodent control. If you live near one of those strips, keep the garbage cart lid closed and don't leave bags beside it.

Questions From Callers

I have a separate rental unit in back. Can both be checked?

Yes. Mention it on the call so the provider plans to inspect both units.
